USING VOICE RECOGNITION SYS-
TEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, Voice Recognition is initialized, which
takes a few seconds. When completed, the
system is ready to accept voice commands. If
<
>is pushed before the initialization com-
pletes, the display will show the message:
“System not ready”.
BEFORE STARTING
To get the best recognition performance out of
Voice Recognition, observe the following:
. 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.
GIVING VOICE COMMANDS
1. Push <>located on the steering wheel.
2. A list of commands appears on the screen,
and the system announces, “Please say a
command”.
3. After the tone sounds and the icon on the screen changes from [
]to[], speak a
command.
Operating tips
. If the command is not recognized, the
system announces, “Please say again”.
Repeat the command in a clear voice.
. Push
previous screen.
. To cancel the command, push and hold
<
>. The message, “Voice canceled” will
be announced.
.Push <>to stop the voice prompt and
give the command at once. Remember to
wait for the tone before speaking.
. To adjust the volume of the system feed-
back, push the volume control buttons [+] or
[−] on the steering wheel or use the audio
system volume control knob while the
system is making an announcement.
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.

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 by voice commands are described
here.
Example 1: Switching map to 2D
(Plan View) mode
1. Push <>located on the steering wheel.
2. The system announces, “Please say a command”.
3. After the tone sounds and the icon on the screen changes from [
]to[], speak
“Plan View Map”.
4. Voice feedback will be provided when the command is accepted, and the map is
displayed in 2D (Plan View) .
Example 2: Setting destination
using places list
1. Push<>located on the steering wheel.
2. The system announces, “Please say a command”.
3. After the tone sounds and the icon on the screen changes from [
]to[], speak
“Places”.
4. If a route is already set, choose “Near Current Location”, “Along Route” or “Near
Destination”. 5. After the tone sounds and the icon on the
screen changes again, speak “Along Route”.
6. Voice feedback will be provided when thecommand is accepted, and the list of places
of interest categories appears.
7. After the tone sounds and the icon on the screen changes again, speak “Two”.
8. Voice feedback will be provided when thecommand is accepted, and the list of places
of interest in the category specified in the
previous step appears. 9. After the tone sounds and the icon on the
screen changes again, speak “One”.
10. Voice feedback will be provided when the command is accepted, and the system
starts calculating a route to the selected
facility.

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.
How to adjust RearView screen
To adjust the Brightness, Tint, Color, Contrast
and Black Level of the RearView Monitor, press
select the "Display" key on the screen and select
the item key and adjust the level using the center
dial.
Do not adjust the Brightness, Tint, Color,
Contrast and Black Level of the RearView
Monitor while the vehicle is moving.
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
Monitor system9-3
the object projects over the actual backing up
course.WARNING
.Always turn and check that it is safe
to park your car before backing up.
Always back up slowly.
. Use the displayed lines as a refer-
ence. The lines are highly affected
by the number of occupants, fuel
level, vehicle position, road condi-
tion and road grade.
. If the tires are replaced with differ-
ent sized tires, the predicted course
line may not be displayed correctly.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predicted course line and the
actual course line.
. If the battery is disconnected or
becomes discharged, the predicted
course lines may be displayed in-
correctly. If this occurs, drive the
vehicle on a straight road for more
than 5 minutes.
. When the steering wheel is turned
with the ignition switch in the ACC
position, the predicted course lines
may be displayed incorrectly. .
The displayed line will appear
slightly off to the right because the
rear view camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.
. 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 than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed
objects.
. When backing up the vehicle up a
hill, objects viewed in the monitor
are further than they appear. When
backing up the vehicle down a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are
closer than they appear. Use the
inside mirror or glance over your
shoulder to properly judge dis-
tances to other objects.
The vehicle width and predicted course
lines are wider than the actual width and
course.

1. Visually check that the parking space is safebefore parking your vehicle.
2. The RearView of the vehicle is displayed on the screen
*Aas illustrated when the shift
lever is moved to the "R" (Reverse) position.
3. Slowly back up the vehicle, adjusting the steering wheel so that the predicted course
lines
*Benter the parking space*C.
4. Maneuver the steering wheel to make the vehicle width guide lines
*Dparallel to the
parking space
*Cwhile referring to the
predicted course lines. 5. When the vehicle is parked in the space
completely, move the shift lever to the
"P"(Park) position and apply the parking
brake
OPERATING TIPS
. When the shift lever is shifted to the "R"
(Reverse) position, the monitor screen auto-
matically changes to the RearView Monitor
mode. However, the radio can be heard.
. It may take some time until the RearView
Monitor is displayed after the shift lever has
been shifted to "R" from another position or
to another position from "R". Objects may be
distorted momentarily until the RearView
Monitor screen is displayed completely.
. When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display
objects. This is not a malfunction.
. When strong light directly enters the cam-
era, objects may not be displayed clearly.
This is not a malfunction.
. The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light. This is not a malfunction.
. The colors of objects on the RearView
Monitor may differ somewhat from those of
the actual object.
