takes a few seconds. When completed, the
system is ready to accept voice commands. If
<

pletes, the display will show the message:

BEFORE STARTING
To get the best recognition performance from
Voice Recognition, observe the following items.
. 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.

2. A list of commands appears on the screen,
and the system provides the voice menu

screen changes from [
]to[], speak a
command.
4. Continue to follow the voice menu prompts and speak after the tone sounds until the
preferred operation is completed.
Operating tips
.Speak a command after the tone.

shown on the display and spoken through

How to speak numbers
NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a certain
way to speak numbers when giving voice
commands. Refer to the following examples.
General rule:
Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 can be used. (For
example, if speaking 500, “five zero zero” can be
used, but “five hundred” cannot.)
Examples:
1-800-662-6200
“One eight zero zero six six two six two zero
zero”
Improving Recognition of Phone numbers:
Recognition of phone numbers can be improved
by speaking the phone number in 3 groups of
numbers. For example, to call 800-662-6200,
speak “Eight Zero Zero” first, and the system will
then ask to speak the next three digits. Then,
speak “Six Six Two”. After recognition, the
system will then ask to speak the last 4 digits.
Speak, “Six Two Zero Zero”. Using this method
of phone digit entry can improve recognition
performance.

VOICE COMMAND EXAMPLES
To use the voice recognition function, speaking
one command is sometimes sufficient, but at
other times it is necessary to speak two or more
commands. As examples, some additional basic
operations that can be performed by voice
commands are described here.
Example 1: Placing call to phone
number 800-662-6200
1. Push<>located on the steering wheel.
2. The system announces, “Would you like to
access Phone, Navigation, Information,
Audio or Help?”.

Voice recognition8-9

8-10Voice recognition
9. The system makes a call to 800-662-6200.
INFO:
. Speaking “800-662-6200” (10 continuous
digits) or “662-6200” (7 continuous digits)
is acceptable, if the area code is not
necessary. However the 3-3-4 digit group-
ing is recommended for improved recogni-
tion.
“How to speak numbers” (page 8-19)
. The NISSAN voice recognition system is not
limited to recognizing phone numbers of
only 7 or 10 digits. To dial a number in a
format other than the 3-3-4 digit grouping,
use the “International Call” command.
. If “Change Number” is spoken during phone
number entry, the system will automatically
request that the number be repeated using
the 3-3-4 format. In this case please speak the area code first and then follow the
prompts.
. Do not add a “1” in front of the area code
when speaking phone numbers.
. If the system does not recognize a voice
command, please try repeating the com-
mand using a natural voice. Speaking too
slowly or too loudly may further decrease
recognition performance.

to phone number 011-81-111-222-
333
1. Push <>located on the steering wheel.
2. The system announces, “Would you like to
