starts.
2. The voice guide demonstrates the steps that have to be performed.
3. When the tutorial is completed, the system automatically switches to the Menu screen.
USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, Voice Recognition is initialized, which
may take up to one minute. When completed,
the system is ready to accept voice commands.
If > is pushed before the initialization
completes, the display will show the message:
“System not ready”.
BEFORE STARTING
To get the best recognition performance out of
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 vibration 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
without pausing between words.
. If the air conditioner is set to “Auto”, the fan
speed is automatically lowered so that voice
commands can be recognized more easily.
. The voice recognition system cannot be
operated when the soft top is not closed (for
Roadster models) .
GIVING VOICE COMMANDS
1. Push 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 [

Operating tips
. If the command is not recognized, the
system announces, “Please say again”.

Voice Prompt Interrupt:
In most cases you can interrupt the voice

ing wheel. After interrupting the system, wait for
a beep before speaking your command.
How to speak numbers
NISSAN 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. For
example, to say 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 saying 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, say
“Six Six Two”. After recognition, the system will
then ask to speak the last 4 digits. Say, “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”.
