Operating tips
To get the best performance out of the NISSAN
Voice Recognition system, observe the following:● 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 commands
To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition, press
and release the
button located on the
steering wheel. After the tone sounds, speak a
command.
The command given is picked up by the micro-
phone, 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 try again.” Make sure the command is
said exactly as prompted by the system and
repeat the command in a clear voice.
● If you want to go back to the previous com-
mand, you can say “Go back” or “Correc-
tion” any time the system is waiting for a
response.
● You can cancel a command when the sys-
tem is waiting for a response by saying,
“Cancel” or “Quit.” The system announces
“Cancel” and ends the NISSAN Voice Rec-
ognition session. You can also press and
hold the
button on the steering wheel
for 5 seconds at any time to end the NISSAN
Voice Recognition session. Whenever the
NISSAN Voice Recognition session is can-
celled, a double beep is played to indicate
you have exited the system.
● If you want to adjust the volume of the voice
feedback, press the Volume control
switches (+ 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.”
