2014 NISSAN 370Z COUPE key

NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the Phone, Navigation, Information
and Audio systems in one of two modes,
Standard Mode or Alternate Command Mode.
In Standard Mode, 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. (See “NISSAN voice recognition
Standard Mode” (P.4-99) for details.)
For advanced operation, you can use the
Alternate Command Mode. (See “NISSAN voice
recognition Alternate Command Mode” (P.4-
110) for details.) When this mode is active, an
expanded list of commands can be spoken after
pushing the TALK
switch, and the voice
command menu prompts are turned off. Review
the expanded command list, which is available
when this mode is active. Note that in this mode
the recognition success rate may be affected as
the number of available commands and the ways
of speaking each command are increased.
To switch one mode to another, see each mode
description later 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. Otherwise, it is recommended that
Alternate Command Mode be turned off and Standard Mode be used for the best recognition
performance.
For the voice commands for the navigation
system, refer to the Navigation System Owner’s
Manual of your vehicle.
For Roadster models:
The voice recognition system cannot be oper-
ated when the soft top is not closed.
