2014 INFINITI QX60 climate control

INFINITI Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the systems equipped on this ve-
hicle, such as phone and vehicle information.
There are two voice recognition modes of opera-
tion available. They are:
●Standard Mode
●Alternate Command Mode
In Standard Mode (the factory default setting) ,
commands that are available are always shown
on the display and announced by the system. You
can complete your desired operation by simply
following the prompts given by the system. Not all
INFINITI Voice Recognition options are available
while in Standard Mode.
For advanced operation, you can change to an
Alternate Command Mode that enables the op-
eration of the display and audio system through
INFINITI Voice Recognition. When this mode is
active, an expanded list of commands can be
spoken after pushing the TALK
switch on
the steering wheel, and the voice command
menu prompts are turned off.
In Alternate Command Mode the recognition
success rate may be affected because the num-
ber of available commands and the ways of
speaking each command are increased. See
“INFINITI Voice Recognition Alternate Command
Mode” in this section.To improve the recognition success rate when
Alternate Command Mode is active, try using the
Speaker Adaptation Function available in that
mode. See “Speaker Adaptation Function” in this
section. Otherwise, it is recommended that Alter-
nate Command Mode be turned off and Standard
Mode be used for the best recognition perfor-
mance.
While using the INFINITI Voice Recognition sys-
tem for certain Phone and Navigation features,
you can switch to using manual controls (touch-
screen, INFINITI controller, steering wheel con-
trols) and the information you have already en-
tered by voice control will be retained. To switch
to manual controls, select the “Manual Controls”
key on the display when it appears. The system
will respond by speaking “Changing to manual
operation. Please use manual controls to con-
tinue.”
For the voice commands for the navigation sys-
tem, refer to the Navigation System Owner’s
Manual of your vehicle.
For vehicles in the U.S., the factory default setting
is the Standard Mode. See “Standard Mode” in
this section. For vehicles in Canada, the factory
default setting is the Alternate Command Mode.
See “Alternate Command Mode” in this section.

Operating tips
●Say a command after the tone. Voice com-
mands cannot be accepted when the icon
is
.
●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.
Please follow the prompts given by the sys-
tem.
●If the command is not recognized, the sys-
tem repeats the announcement. Repeat the
command in a clear voice.
●Say “Back” when prompted to return to the
previous screen.
●If you want to cancel the command, press
and hold the
switch. The message,
“Voice Recognition is cancelled” will be an-
nounced.
●If you want to adjust the volume of the sys-
tem feedback, push the volume control
switch on the steering wheel or use the
audio system volume knob while the system
is making an announcement.
How to speak numbers
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.
●When saying the phone number 800-662-
6200, the system will accept “eight-
hundred” in addition to “eight zero zero” or
“eight oh oh”. 500, 700, and 900 are also
supported.
Examples:
●1-800-662-6200
– “One eight zero zero six six two six two
zero zero”
– “One eight hundred six six two six two
zero zero”Improving Recognition of Phone numbers:
You can improve the recognition of phone num-
bers by saying the phone number in three groups
of numbers. For example, when you try to call
800-662-6200, say “eight zero zero” first, and
the system will then ask you for the next three
digits. Then, say “six six two”. After recognition,
the system will then ask for the last four digits.
Say, “six two zero zero”. Using this method of
phone digit entry can improve recognition perfor-
mance.
NOTE:
When speaking a house number, speak the
number “0” as “zero” or “oh”. If the letter
“O” is included in the house number, it will
not be recognized as “0” even if you speak
“oh” instead of “zero”.
4-138Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

●If you say “Change Number” during phone
number entry, the system will automatically
request that you repeat the number using
the 3-3-4 format. In this case please say 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 your com-
mand, please try repeating the command
using a natural voice. Speaking too slowly or
too loudly may further decrease recognition
performance.
Example 2 — Placing an international call
to the phone number 011-81-111-222-3333:
1. Press the
button located on the steer-
ing wheel.
2. The system announces, “Would you like to
access Phone, Navigation, Information, Au-
dio or Help?”
3. Say “Phone”.
4. Say “International Call”.
5. Say “011811112223333”.
6. Say “Dial”.7. The system makes a call to 011-81-111-
222-3333.
NOTE:
Any digit input format is available in the
International Number input process, as
well as the special characters such as star
(*) , pound (#) , and plus (+) .

USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, INFINITI Voice Recognition is initialized,
which takes a few seconds. When completed,
the system is ready to accept voice commands. If
the
switch is pressed before the initializa-
tion completes, the display will show the mes-
sage: “System not ready” or a beep sounds.
Before starting
To get the best performance from INFINITI Voice
Recognition, observe the following:
●Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible. Close the windows to eliminate the
surrounding noises (traffic noises, vibration
sounds, etc.) , which may prevent the system
from recognizing the voice commands cor-
rectly.●When the climate control is in the AUTO
mode, the fan speed decreases automati-
cally for easy recognition.
●Wait until a tone sounds before speaking a
command.
●Speak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.
