Monitor, heater, air conditioner, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-101
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, try the following solutions.
Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number 1, until the problem is resolved.
SymptomSolution
The system fails to interpret the command correctly. 1. Ensure that the command is valid. (See “NISSAN voice recognition system (models with navigation system)” (P.4-
137) .)
2. Ensure that the command is spoken after the tone.
3. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level in the vehicle.
4. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, windows open or defroster on) . NOTE: If it is too
noisy to use the phone, it is likely that the voice commands will not be recognized.
5. If more than one command was said at a time, try saying the commands separately.
The system consistently selects the wrong voicetag. 1. Ensure that the voicetag requested matches what was originally stored. (See “Quick Dial” (P.4-117) .)
2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.

USING THE SYSTEM
The NISSAN Voice Recognition system allows
hands-free operation of the Bluetooth®Hands-
Free Phone System.
If the vehicle is in motion, some commands may
not be available so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initia-
lized, which may take up to one minute. If the
button is pushed before the initialization
completes, the system will accept any com-
mand.
Operating tips
To get the best performance out of the NISSAN
Voice Recognition system, observe the follow-
ing:
. Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible. Close the windows to eliminate
surrounding noises (traffic noises, vibration
sounds, etc.), which may prevent the system
from recognizing voice commands correctly. .
Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a
command. Otherwise, the command will not
be received properly.
. Start speaking a command within 5 seconds
after the tone sounds.
. Speak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.
Giving voice command
To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition, push
and release thebutton located on the
steering wheel. After the tone sounds, speak a
command.
The command given is picked up by the
microphone, and voice feedback is given when
the command is accepted.
. If you need to hear the available commands
for the current menu again, say “Help” and
the system will repeat them.
. If a command is not recognized, the system
announces, “Command not recognized.
Please say again.” Repeat the command in
a clear voice.
. If you want to go back to the previous
command, you can say “Go back” or
“Correction” anytime the system is waiting
for a response.
. You can cancel a command when the
system is waiting for a response by saying, “Cancel” or “Quit.” The system announces
“Cancel” and ends the VR session. You can
also push and hold the
button for 5
seconds on the steering wheel at any time to
cancel the VR session. Whenever the VR
session is cancelled, a double beep is
played to indicate you have exited the
system.
. If you want to adjust the volume of the voice
feedback, push the volume control switch (+
or−) on the steering wheel while being
provided with feedback. You can also use
the radio volume control knob.
. In most cases you can interrupt the voice
feedback to speak the next command by
pressing the
button on the steering
wheel.
. To use the system faster, you may speak the
second level commands with the main menu
command on the main menu. For example,
press the
button and after the tone say,
“Call Redial.” Note: The combined com-
mand of Call and (Speak Name) cannot be
used.

Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number 1, until the problem is resolved.
SymptomSolution
The system fails to interpret the command correctly. 1. Ensure that the command is valid. See “List of voice commands” (P.4-130) .
2. Ensure that the command is spoken after the tone.
3. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level in the vehicle.

noisy to use the phone, it is likely that the voice commands will not be recognized.
5. If more than one command was said at a time, try saying the commands separately.
6. If the system consistently fails to recognize commands, the voice training procedure should be carried out to
improve the recognition response for the speaker. See “Speaker adaptation (SA) mode” (P.4-133) .
The system consistently selects the wrong entry from
the phonebook. 1. Ensure that the phonebook entry name requested matches what was originally stored. This can be confirmed by
using the “List Names” command. See “Phonebook (phones without automatic phonebook download function)”
(P.4-131) .
2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.

The system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, follow the solutions given in this guide for the
appropriate error.
Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number one, until the problem is resolved.
Symptom/error messageSolution
The system fails to interpret the command correctly. 1. Ensure that the command format is valid, see “Command List” (P.4-150) .
2. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level.
3. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive, for example, windows open or defrost on.
NOTE:
If it is too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that voice commands will not be recognized.
4. If optional words of the command have been omitted, then the command should be tried with these in place.
The system consistently selects the wrong voicetag in
the phonebook. 1. Ensure that the voicetag requested matches what was originally stored. (See “Bluetooth
®hands-free phone
system (models with navigation system)” (P.4-114) .)
2. Replace one of the voicetags being confused with a different voicetag.

5-2Starting and driving
WARNING
.Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. They
could accidentally injure themselves
or others through inadvertent op-
eration of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
. Properly secure all cargo with ropes
or straps to help prevent it from
sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In
a sudden stop or collision, unse-
cured cargo could cause personal
injury.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
.Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless car-
bon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is
dangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.
. If you suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering the vehicle, drive with
all windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.
. Do not run the engine in closed
spaces such as a garage.
. Do not park the vehicle with the
engine running for any extended
length of time.
. Keep the lift gate closed while
driving, otherwise exhaust gases
could be drawn into the passenger
compartment. If you must drive with
the lift gate open, follow these
precautions:
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the
air recirculation to off
and the fan control to high to circulate the air.
. If electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the lift gate or
the body, follow the manufacturer’s
recommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.
. If a special body, camper or other
equipment is added for recreational
or other usage, follow the manufac-
turer’s recommendation to prevent
carbon monoxide entry into the
vehicle. (Some recreational vehicle
appliances such as stoves, refrig-
erators, heaters, etc. may also gen-
erate carbon monoxide.)
. The exhaust system and body
should be inspected by a qualified
mechanic whenever:
— The vehicle is raised for service.
— You suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering into the passenger
compartment.
— You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
— You have had an accident invol- ving damage to the exhaust
