USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, NISSAN 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 NISSAN 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.
Giving voice commands
1. Press and release thebutton located
on the steering wheel.
2. A list of commands appears on the screen,
and the system announces, “Please say a
command”.
3. After the tone sounds and the icon on the
screen changes from
to, speak
a command.
4. Once a command is recognized, the system
will announce the recognized command and
perform the requested action.If the command is not recognized, the sys-
tem repeats the announcement. Repeat the
command in a clear voice after the tone.
Operating tips
●Say a command after the tone. Voice com-
mands cannot be accepted when the icon
is
.
●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 cancelled” will be dis-
played.
●If you want to adjust the volume of the sys-
tem feedback, press the SETTING button on
the control panel then touch the “Volume &
Beeps” key on the touch-screen. Use the
“+” and “-” keys to adjust the guidance vol-
ume to the desired level.

●To minimize the amount of prompts spoken
by the system in Alternate Command Mode,
use the Minimize Voice Feedback function.
To access the Minimize Voice Feedback
function press the SETTING button, then
touch the “Others” key. Then touch the
“Voice Recognition” key.
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 3 digits.
Then, say “six six two”. After recognition, the
system will then ask for the last 4 digits. Say, “six
two zero zero”. Using this method of phone digit
entry can improve recognition performance.
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”.
