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
seconds after the tone sounds.
.Speak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.

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 follow-
ing 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”

results, say phone numbers as single digits.

five five six thousand”.
