and announced by the system. You can
complete your desired operation by simply
following the prompts given by the system.
(See “INFINITI Voice Recognition Standard
Mode” (P.4-104) for details.)

commands can be spoken after pushing
the TALK
switch, and the voice
command menu prompts are turned off.
Review the expanded command list, which
is available when this mode is active. Note
that in this mode the recognition success
rate may be affected as the number of
available commands and the ways of
speaking each command are increased.
To switch one mode to another, see each
mode description later in this section.
