NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the navigation system and other
systems equipped on this vehicle, in one of two
modes, Standard Mode or Alternate Command
Mode.
In Standard Mode, you can operate Phone and
Information. The commands that are available
are always shown on the display and announced
by the system. You can complete your desired
operation by simply following the prompts given
by the system. In this mode, hands-free opera-
tion of Audio, Climate Control and Display is not
available through Voice Recognition.
For advanced operation, you can change to
Alternate Command Mode that enables the
operation of the display, audio and climate
control through Voice Recognition. When this
mode is active, an expanded list of commands
can be spoken after pushing, and the
voice command menu prompts are turned off.
Please note that in this mode the recognition
success rate may be affected because the
number of available commands and ways of
speaking each command are increased.
For U.S. customers, Standard Mode is selected
by default. For Canadian customers, Alternate
Command Mode is the default mode. One mode
can be switched to another.
