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. For ad-ditional information, refer to “INFINITI Voice Rec-
ognition Alternate Command Mode” in this sec-
tion.
To improve the recognition success rate when
Alternate Command Mode is active, try using the
Speaker Adaptation Function available in that
mode. For additional information, refer to
“Speaker Adaptation Function” in this section.
Otherwise, it is recommended that Alternate
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. For additional information,
refer to “INFINITI Voice Recognition StandardMode” in this section. For vehicles in Canada, the
factory default setting is the Alternate Command
Mode. For additional information, refer to
“INFINITI Voice Recognition Alternate Command
Mode” in this section.
INFINITI VOICE RECOGNITION
STANDARD MODE

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, voice commands will not be ac-
cepted. Please wait until the INFINITI Voice Rec-
ognition initialization is completed.
BEFORE STARTING
To get the best recognition performance from
Voice Recognition, observe the following:
●The interior of the vehicle should be as quiet
as possible. Close the windows to eliminate
the surrounding noises (traffic noise and vi-
bration sounds, etc.) , which may prevent the
system from correctly recognizing the voice
commands.
●Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a
command.
●Speak in a natural conversational voice with-
out pausing between words.
●If the air conditioner is set to “Auto”, the fan
speed is automatically lowered so that your
commands can be recognized more easily.
GIVING VOICE COMMANDS

ing wheel.2. A list of commands appears on the screen,
and the system announces, “Would you like

Audio or Help?”
3. After the tone sounds and the icon on the
screen changes from
to, speak
a command.
4. Continue to follow the voice menu prompts
and speak after the tone sounds until your
desired operation is completed.
