2017 NISSAN ARMADA ECO mode

NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the Phone, Navigation, Information
and Audio systems in one of two modes,
Standard Mode or Alternate Command Mode.
In Standard Mode, 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. (See “NISSAN Voice Recogni-
tion Standard Mode” (P.4-117) for details.)
For advanced operation, you can use the
Alternate Command Mode. (See “NISSAN
Voice Recognition Alternate Command Mode”
(P.4-130) for details.) When this mode is active,
an expanded list of commands can be spoken
after pushing the TALK
switch, and the
voice command menu prompts are turned off.
Review the expanded command list, which is
available when this mode is active. Note that in
this mode the recognition success rate may be
affected as the number of available commands
and the ways of speaking each command are
increased.
To switch one mode to another, see each mode
description later in this section.
To improve the recognition success rate when
Alternate Command Mode is active, try using the
Speaker Adaptation Function available in that
mode. Otherwise, it is recommended that Alternate Command Mode be turned off and
Standard Mode be used for the best recognition
performance.
For the voice commands for the navigation
system, refer to the Navigation System Owner’s
Manual of your vehicle.
