USING VOICE RECOGNITION SYS-
TEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, Voice Recognition is initia-
lized, which may take up to one minute.
When completed, the system is ready to
accept voice commands. If
pushed before the initialization completes,
the display will show the message: “Sys-
tem not ready”.
BEFORE STARTING
To get the best recognition performance
from Voice Recognition, observe the follow-
ing items.
. The interior of the vehicle should be as
quiet as possible. Close the windows to
eliminate the surrounding noises (traf-
fic noise and vibration sounds, etc.),
which may prevent the system from
correctly recognizing the voice com-
mands.
. Wait until the tone sounds before
speaking a command.
. Speak in a natural conversational voice
without pausing between words. .
If the air conditioner is set to “Auto”,
the fan speed is automatically lowered
so that voice commands can be recog-
nized more easily.
GIVING VOICE COMMANDS
1. Push
wheel.
2. A list of commands appears on the screen, and the system provides the
voice menu prompt “Would you like to
access Phone, Navigation, Information,
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 the preferred operation is
completed.
Operating tips
.Speak a command after the tone.
. Commands that are available are al-
ways shown on the display and spoken
through voice menu prompts. Com-
mands other than those that are dis-
played are not accepted. Follow the
prompts given by the system.
. If the command is not accepted, the
system announces, “Please say again”.
Repeat the command in a clear voice.
. Push
previous screen.
. To cancel the command, push and hold
celed” will be announced.
. Push
prompt and give the command at once.
Remember to wait for the tone before
speaking.
. To adjust the volume of the system
feedback, push the volume control
buttons <+> or <−> on the steering wheel
or use the audio system volume control
knob while the system is making an
announcement.
How to speak numbers
INFINITI Voice Recognition requires a cer-
tain 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, if speaking 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 speaking 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, speak
“ Six Six Two” . After recognition, the
system will then ask to speak the last 4
digits. Speak, “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”.
VOICE COMMAND EXAMPLES
To use the voice recognition function,
speaking one command is sometimes
sufficient, but at other times it is necessary
to speak two or more commands. As
examples, some additional basic opera-
tions that can be performed by voice
commands are described here.
Example 1: Placing call to phone
number 800-662-6200
1. Push
wheel.
2. The system announces, “Would you like

tion, Audio or Help?”.

5. Speak the name of the state, “Califor-
nia”.
6. Speak the name of the city, “Gardena”.
7. Voice feedback will be provided when
the command is accepted, and the list
of city names is displayed.
8. After the tone sounds and the icon on the screen changes again, speak
“Four”.
9. Speak the name of the street, “South
Figueroa street”.
INFO:
.Only the official street names stored in
the map database can be recognized by
the system. To improve accuracy, speak
the street name precisely and include
Boulevard, Way, North, South, etc., if
known. If unsure of the full name,
speaking only part of the street name
such as “Figueroa” is acceptable, but
recognition accuracy may be reduced.
.When the vehicle is rotated on a
parking lot turntable while the ignition
switch is off.
.When driving on a road not displayed
on the map screen or a road that has
been changed due to additional con-
struction or other reasons.
.When the GPS positioning accuracy is
low.
INFO:
.
The vehicle icon may be misaligned when
starting the vehicle just after starting the
engine or the hybrid system.
.The vehicle icon may also be misaligned if
different sized tires or tire chains are
installed.
.The system has a function that automati-
cally corrects the vehicle icon position when
it is misaligned from the actual position.
.Vehicle position correction by GPS may not
function when the vehicle is stopped.
.If the vehicle icon position does not return
to normal even after driving for a while,
correct the vehicle icon position manually.

DETAILED MAP COVERAGE AREAS
(MCA) FOR NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This system is designed to help guiding to
the destination, and it also performs other
functions as outlined in this manual.
However, the system must be used safely
and properly. Information concerning road
conditions, traffic signs and the availability
of services may not always be up-to-date.
The system is not a substitute for safe,
proper and legal driving. Map data covers
select metropolitan areas in the United
States and Canada.
Map data includes two types of areas:
“ Detailed coverage areas” providing all
detailed road data and other areas show-
ing “Main roads only”.
NOTE:
Detailed map data is not available in many
areas and is generally limited to select major
metropolitan areas.

WHEN GRAY ROAD IS DISPLAYED ON
MAP
.When you are driving on a road
displayed in gray after the vehicle has
deviated from the suggested route
during route guidance, automatic re-
routing may not start immediately.
. The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for roads displayed in
dark green. Therefore, if the destination
is set on a road displayed in dark
green, the enlarged map display will
return to the ordinary map screen at
some point on a suggested route that is
near the destination. Also, voice gui-
dance will stop at some point on a
suggested route that is near the
destination.
. Places information and street names
near roads displayed in gray may not
be contained in the map data.
ROUTE CALCULATION
.There may be cases that carpool lanes
are included on a suggested route
when the automatic rerouting function
is activated, even if the “Use Time
Restricted Roads” is turned off.
“Setting conditions for route cal-
culation”(page 5-25)
. The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for roads displayed in
dark green.
. If the destination is set on a dark green
road, the enlarged map display will
switch to the ordinary map screen at
some point and suggest a route that is
near the destination. The distance and
direction to the endpoint of the sug-
gested route will be displayed in the
lower right corner of the screen. Also,
at this time, voice guidance will an-
nounce, “The route to the destination
includes roads through incomplete
map areas. Voice guidance will not be
provided in these areas”.
When approaching the endpoint of the
suggested route, voice guidance will
announce, “Entering the road with
incomplete map data. Use the direction arrow and distance information to
proceed to your destination.”
To reach the destination, refer to the
map screen. Always follow actual roads
and regulations and drive safely.
. The suggested route may not be the
shortest, nor are other circumstances
such as traffic jams considered.
. Because of the inevitable difference in
road conditions and circumstances
between the time you use this system
and the time the information was
produced for the map data, there may
be discrepancies in roads and regula-
tions. In such cases, follow the actual
information available.
. During route calculation, the map will
not scroll, however the vehicle icon will
move with the actual vehicle’s move-
ment.
. During route calculation, buttons such
