INFINITI VOICE RECOGNITION
INFINITI Voice Recognition allows hands-
free operation of the navigation system
and other systems equipped on this
vehicle, in one of two modes, Standard
Mode or Alternate Command Mode. Stan-
dard Mode allows the operation of Naviga-
tion, Phone, Audio, Information and Help.
The commands that are available are
always shown on the display and an-
nounced by the system. To perform opera-
tions, simply follow the prompts given by
the system. In Standard Mode, hands-free
operation of Change map view, Route
selection and Bluetooth Audio, etc. is not
available through Voice Recognition.
Alternate Command Mode allows advanced
operations. When this mode is active, an
expanded list of commands can be spoken
after pushing
command menu prompts are turned off.
Note that in this mode the recognition
success rate may be affected because the
number of available commands and ways
of speaking each command are increased.
Otherwise, it is recommended that Alter-
nate Command Mode be turned OFF and
Standard Mode be used for the best recognition performance.
“Alternate command mode”
(page 9-9)
INFO:
.
For U.S. customers, Standard Mode is
selected by default. For Canadian custo-
mers, Alternate Command Mode is the
default mode.
.To improve recognition success when Alter-
nate Command Mode is active, try using the
Speaker Adaptation function available in
that mode.
“Speaker adaptation” (page 9-15)
Otherwise, it is recommended that Alternate
Command Mode be turned OFF and Stan-
dard Mode be used for the best recognition
performance.
.For the voice commands for the audio,
phone and other systems, refer to the
vehicle Owner’s Manual. The following sec-
tions refer only to the navigation, phone and
information systems.
.The voice recognition system cannot be
operated when the retractable hard top is
not closed (for G37 Convertible only).

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 opera-
tions by voice commands are described
here.
Example 1: Switching map to 2D
(Plan View) mode
1. Push
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
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”.
.Waypoints that have been passed will
be disregarded by rerouting calcula-
tion.
. If you scroll the map while the sug-
gested route is being drawn, it may
take more time to finish drawing.
. If waypoints are set, the system calcu-
lates multiple routes between way-
points simultaneously, and the
following may result.
—
If one section between waypoints cannot
be calculated, none of the route will be
displayed.
—The route may not connect completely at
some waypoints.
—The route may require a U-turn close tosome waypoints.
. Route calculation may not be com-
pleted in the following cases.
—
If there is no main road within a range of
1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the vehicle, a
message saying so will appear on the
screen. Try recalculating when the vehi-
cle is closer to a main road.
—If there is no main road within a range of1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the destination
or waypoint, a message saying so will appear on the screen. Try setting the
location closer to a main road.
—If the vehicle is too close to the
destination or if there are no roads to
the destination, a message saying so
will appear on the screen.
—If it is impossible to reach the destina- tion or waypoints because of traffic
regulations, etc.
—If the only route to reach the destination
or waypoints is extremely complicated.
—If the destination, current vehicle posi-tion or waypoint is within the “Avoid
Area”.
—If a part of the route is included in the “Avoid Area”.
. The following may occur when the route
is displayed.
—
If you calculate a route on a main road,
the starting point of the route may not
exactly match the current vehicle loca-
tion.
—The endpoint of the route may notexactly match the destination.
—If you calculate a route on a main road, the system may display a route from another main road. This may be because
the position of the vehicle icon is not
accurate. In this case, park the vehicle in
a safe location and reset the vehicle
icon, or continue driving to see if the
position of the vehicle icon is automati-
cally adjusted before recalculating the
route.
—There are cases in which the system
shows an indirect route to reach the
destination or waypoints, if you set them
from stored or facility information. In
order to correct this, you must be careful
about the traffic direction, especially
when lanes with different travel direc-
tions are shown separately, such as
interchanges and service areas.
—This system makes no distinction be-
tween limited traffic control and total
control (blockage). It may show an
indirect route even if the road is usable.
—Even if the freeway preference is set toOFF, a route that uses the freeway may
be suggested.
—Even if the ferry preference is set to OFF,a route that uses a ferry line may be
suggested.

right/left”after announcing the arrival
at the destination.
. Voice guidance may be partially opera-
tional or inoperative due to the angle of
roads at an intersection.
. Because freeway lane information is
available only for approximately 7,000
major freeways in North America, it is
not possible to display information for
all junctions and exits.
. Freeway exit information may differ
from the information on the actual exit
signs.
. Because it is not possible to consider
data concerning roads that are season-
ally available or unavailable, a route
may be displayed that does not match
the actual traffic restrictions. Be sure to
follow the actual traffic restrictions
while driving.
. Canada and Alaska contain many roads
with incomplete map data. As a result,
when searching for a route, the route
may include roads with incomplete
data. In regions where road data is
not complete, voice guidance may stop
for long periods of time. Be sure to
follow the actual traffic restrictions while driving.NOTES ON NavTraffic INFORMATION
