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 opera-
tion by simply following the prompts given by the
system. In Standard Mode, hands–free opera-
tion of Audio, Climate Control and Display is not
available through Voice Recognition.
For U.S. customers, Standard Mode is selected
by default. For Canadian customers, Alternate
Command Mode is the default mode.
INFO:
. For the voice commands for the audio, air
conditioner and other systems, refer to the
Owner’s Manual of your vehicle. The follow-
ing sections refer only to the navigation,
phone, and information systems.

“Franc¸ ais” (French) the available commands
and functions differ from those available
when using the system in English.
Using the system
Initialization:
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initia-
lized, which may take up to one minute. When
completed, the system is ready to accept voice
commands. If is pushed before the
initialization completes, the display will show the
message: “Phonetic data downloading. Please
wait.”
Before starting
To get the best recognition performance from
NISSAN Voice Recognition, observe the follow-
ing:
. The interior of the vehicle should be as quiet
as possible. Close the windows to eliminate
the surrounding noises (traffic noise and
vibration sounds, etc.) , which may prevent
the system from correctly recognizing the
voice commands.
. Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a
command.
. Speak in a natural conversational voice
without pausing between words.
. If the air conditioner is set to “Auto”, the fan
speed is automatically lowered so that your
commands can be recognized more easily.

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.
“SETTING THE ALTERNATE COMMAND
MODE” (page 9-23)
INFO:
. To improve recognition success when Alter-
nate Command Mode is active, try using the
Command Learning Function available in
that mode.
“VOICE COMMAND LEARNING
FUNCTION” (page 9-23)
Otherwise, it is recommended that Alternate
Command Mode be turned OFF and Stan-
dard Mode be used for the best recognition
performance.
. For the voice commands for the audio, air
conditioner and other systems, refer to the
vehicle Owner’s Manual. The following sec-
tions refer only to the navigation, phone and
information systems.
. When using the system in French, com-
mands and features differ from those avail-
able when using the system in English.
If you select the “Francais” key, the French
language will be displayed, so please use
the French Owner’s Manual. To obtain a
French Owner’s Manual, please refer to the

NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION STANDARD MODE

— If the destination, current vehicle positionor waypoint is within the “Avoid Area”.
— If a part of the route is included in the “Avoid Area”.
. The following may occur when the route is
displayed.
— If you calculate a route on a main road,
the starting point of the route may not
exactly match the current vehicle loca-
tion.
— The endpoint of the route may not exactly match the destination.
— If you calculate a route on a main road, the system may display a route from
another main road. This may be because
the position of the vehicle icon is not
accurate. In this case, park the vehicle in
a safe location and reset the vehicle
icon, or continue driving to see if the
position of the vehicle icon is automati-
cally adjusted before recalculating the
route.
— There are cases in which the system shows an indirect route to reach the
destination or waypoints, if you set them
from stored or facility information. In
order to correct this, you must be careful
about the traffic direction, especially
when lanes with different travel direc- tions are shown separately, such as
interchanges and service areas.
— This system makes no distinction be- tween limited traffic control and total
control (blockage) . It may show an
indirect route even if the road is usable.
— Even if the freeway preference is set to OFF, a route that uses the freeway may
be suggested.
— Even if the preference is set to OFF, a route that uses a ferry line may be
suggested.
— Ferry lines, excluding those that are only for pedestrians, bicycles and motor-
cycles, are stored in this system. Take
into consideration the travel time re-
quired and operational condition before
deciding whether to use them or not.INFO:
The system will only announce street names
when the system language is set to English.
Street names are not announced when the
system is set to Franc¸ ais (French) .
BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCE
Voice guidance announces which direction to
turn when approaching an intersection in which
a turn is necessary.
NOTE:
. There may be some cases in which
voice guidance and actual road condi-
tions do not correspond. This may
occur because of discrepancies be-
tween the actual road and the informa-
tion on the map data, or it is due to the
vehicle’s speed.
. In case voice guidance does not corre-
spond to the actual road conditions,
follow the information obtained from
traffic signs or notices on the road.
