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

voice commands.
. Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a
command.
. Speak in a natural conversational voice
without pausing between words.
GIVING VOICE COMMANDS
1. Push <>located on the steering wheel.
2. A list of commands appears on the screen,
and the system provides the voice menu
prompt “Would you like to access Phone,

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.
. Commands that are available are always
shown on the display and spoken through
voice menu prompts. Commands other than
those that are displayed are not accepted.
Follow the prompts given by the system.
. If the command is not accepted, the system
announces, “Please say again”. Repeat the
command in a clear voice.
. Push once to return to the
previous screen.
. To cancel the command, push and hold
<
>. The message, “Voice canceled” will
be announced.

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?”.
3. Speak “Phone”.
4. Speak “Dial Number”.
5. Speak “800”.
6. The system announces, “Please say next three digits or dial, or say change number”.
Speak “662”.
7. The system announces, “Please say last fourdigits or say change number”. Speak
“6200”.
8. The system announces, “Dial or ChangeNumber?”. Speak “Dial”.

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.
Example 2: Placing international call
to phone number 011-81-111-222-
333
1. Push <>located on the steering wheel.
2. The system announces, “Would you like to
access Phone, Navigation, Information,
Audio or Help?”.
3. Speak “Phone”.
4. Speak “International Call”.
5. Speak “01181111222333”.

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, to speak 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.

Predicted course lines*6:
Indicate the predicted course when backing up.
The predicted course lines will be displayed on
the monitor when the shift lever is in the "R"
(Reverse) position and the steering wheel is
turned. The predicted course lines will move
depending on how much the steering wheel is
turned and will not be displayed while the
steering wheel is in the neutral position.

ABOUT REARVIEW MONITOR
Difference between predicted and
actual distances
The distance guide line and the vehicle width
guide line should be used as a reference only
when the vehicle is on a level, paved surface.
The distance viewed on the monitor is for
reference only and may be different from the
actual distance between the vehicle and dis-
played objects. Backing up on a steep uphill:
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown closer than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 3 ft (1.0 m) to
the place
*A, but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m)
distance on the hill is the place
*B. Note that
any object on the hill is further than it appears on
