TEM
Initialization
When the power 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
the
button on the steering wheel is pushed
before the initialization completes, the display
will show the message: "Loading Voice Recog-
nition system. Please wait...".
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.

wheel.
2. A list of commands appears on the screen,
and the system provides the voice menu
prompt.
3. After the tone sounds and the icon on the screen changes from

4. Continue to follow the voice menu prompts and speak after the tone sounds until the
preferred operation is completed.

How to speak numbers
NISSAN Voice Recognition requires the user to
a certain speak numbers in a certain way 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.)
NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION

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 number digit entry can improve
recognition performance.
INFO:
For best recognition, speak "zero" for the
number "0" and "oh" for the letter "o".
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: Setting destination by
address book
1. Push thebutton located on the steering
wheel.
2. The system announces, "Would you like to access Phone, Navigation, Zero Emission or
CARWINGS?".
3. Speak "Navigation".
4. Speak "Address Book".
5. Voice feedback will be provided when the command is accepted, and the list of
address book is displayed.
6. After the tone sounds and the icon on the screen changes again, speak "Two".
