Operating tips
To get the best performance out of 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.
● Wait until a tone sounds before speaking a
command. Otherwise, the command will not
be received properly.
● Start speaking a command within 3.5 sec-
onds after the tone sounds.
● Speak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.
SYSTEM FEATURES
NISSAN Voice Recognition can activate the fol-
lowing systems:
● Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System
● Navigation
● Audio
● Information
● My Apps
For additional information, refer to the separate
Navigation System Owner’s Manual.
How to say numbers
NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a certain
way to speak numbers in voice commands. Refer
to the following examples.
General rule: Either “zero” or “oh” can be used for
“0”.
Phone numbers
Speak phone numbers according to the following
example. For 1-800-662-6200, say dial number
and then speak the phone number in any of the
following formats: ● “one eight oh oh six six two six two oh oh”
● “one eight hundred six six two six two oh oh”
● “one eight zero zero six six two six two oh oh”
For the best voice recognition phone dialing re-
sults, say phone numbers as single digits. Also,
full numbers can only be spoken for “800”. For
example, you cannot say 555-6000 as “five five
five six thousand”.
