>. The message, “Voice can-
celed” will be announced.

and give the command at once. Remember
to wait for the tone before speaking.

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 say 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 saying 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, say
“Six Six Two”. After recognition, the system will
then ask to speak the last 4 digits. Say, “Six Two
Zero Zero”. Using this method of phone digit
entry can improve recognition performance.
INFO:
For best recognition, speak “zero” for the
number “0” and “oh” for the letter “o”.
