TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, try the following solutions.
Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number 1, until the problem is resolved.
SymptomSolution
The system fails to interpret the command correctly. 1. Ensure that the command is valid. See “List of voice commands” (P.4-139) . 2. Ensure that the command is spoken after the tone.
3. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level in the vehicle.
4. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, windows open or defroster on) . NOTE: If it is too
noisy to use the phone, it is likely that the voice commands will not be recognized.
5. If more than one command was said at a time, try saying the commands separately.
6. If the system consistently fails to recognize commands, the voice training procedure should be carried out to
improve the recognition response for the speaker. See “Speaker adaptation (SA) mode” (P.4-142) .
The system consistently selects the wrong entry from
the phonebook. 1. Ensure that the phonebook entry name requested matches what was originally stored. This can be confirmed by
using the “List Names” command. See “Phonebook (phones without automatic phonebook download function)”
(P.4-140) .
2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.

WARNING
.Use a phone after stopping your
vehicle in a safe location. If you
have to use a phone while driving,
exercise extreme caution at all
times so full attention may be given
to vehicle operation.
. If you are unable to devote full
attention to vehicle operation while
talking on the phone, pull off the
road to a safe location and stop
your vehicle.
CAUTION
To avoid draining the vehicle battery,
use a phone after starting the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with the Bluetooth
Š
Hands-Free Phone System. If you have a
compatible Bluetooth Šenabled cellular phone,
you can set up the wireless connection between
your cellular phone and the in-vehicle phone module. With Bluetooth
Šwireless technology,
you can make or receive a hands-free telephone
call with your cellular phone in the vehicle.
Once your cellular phone is connected to the in-
vehicle phone module, no other phone connect-
ing procedure is required. Your phone is
automatically connected with the in-vehicle
phone module when the ignition switch is
placed in the ACC or ON position with the
previously connected cellular phone turned on
and carried in the vehicle.
NOTE:
Some devices require the user to accept
connections to other Bluetooth
Šdevices. If
your phone does not connect automatic
ally to the system, consult the phone’s
Owner’ s Manual for details on device
operation.
You can connect up to 5 different Bluetooth
Š
cellular phones to the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular phone
at a time.
Before using the Bluetooth
ŠHands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
. Set up the wireless connection between a
compatible cellular phone and the in-vehicle
phone module before using the hands-free
phone system. .
Some Bluetooth
Šenabled cellular phones
may not be recognized or work properly. For
information about Bluetooth
Šdevices that
are available for use with this system, it is
recommended that you contact a NISSAN
dealer.
. You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:
— Your vehicle is outside of the cellular
service area.
— Your vehicle is in an area where it is difficult to receive a cellular signal; such
as in a tunnel, in an underground parking
garage, near a tall building or in a
mountainous area.
. When the radio wave condition is not ideal
or ambient sound is too loud, it may be
difficult to hear the other person’s voice
during a call.
. Do not place the cellular phone in an area
surrounded by metal or far away from the in-
vehicle phone module to prevent tone quality
degradation and wireless connection dis-
ruption.
. While a cellular phone is connected through
the Bluetooth
Šwireless connection, the
battery power of the cellular phone may
discharge quicker than usual. The Blue-
tooth

will start the Hands Free Phone System.
Choosing a language
You can interact with the Bluetooth ŠHands-
Free Phone System using several languages
that are available. For operations to change the
language, see “Audio main operation” (P.4-78).
Changing voice feedback volume
If you want to adjust the volume of the voice
feedback, push the volume control switch on the
steering wheel while being provided with feed-
back. You can also use the VOL (volume) control
knob on the audio unit.
Initialization
When the ignition switch is placed in the ACC
or ON position, the Voice Recognition system is
initialized, which takes a few seconds. If the
button is pushed before the initialization com-
pletes, the system will announce “Hands-free
phone system not ready” and will not react to
voice commands.
Connecting procedure:
NOTE:
The connecting procedure must be per-
formed when the vehicle is stationary. If
the vehicle starts moving during the pro-
cedure, the procedure will be cancelled.
You can register up to 5 different Bluetooth
Š
cellular phones in the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular phone
at a time. To connect a phone to the Bluetooth
ŠHands-
Free Phone System;
1. Push the ENTER/SETTING button.
2. Use the TUNE·SCROLL control knob to select “Bluetooth” and then push the
ENTER/SETTING button.
3. Select “Add Phone” and then push the ENTER/SETTING button.
4. When a message with a PIN appears on the screen, operate the Bluetooth
Šphone to

The connecting procedure varies according to
each phone. See the phone’s Owner’s Manual
for details.
Giving voice commands
To operate voice recognition, push and release
thebutton located on the steering wheel.
After the tone sounds, speak a command.
The command given is picked up by the
microphone, and voice feedback is given when
the command is accepted.
. If you need to hear the available commands
for the current menu again, say “Help” and
the system will repeat them.
. If a command is not recognized, the system
announces, “Command not recognized.
Please try again.” Make sure the command

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.4-155) for details.)
For advanced operation, you can use the
Alternate Command Mode. (See “NISSAN
Voice Recognition alternate command mode”
(P.4-166) 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

USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initia-
lized, which may take up to one minute. When
completed, the system is ready to accept voice
commands. If the TALK
switch is pushed
before the initialization completes, the display
will show the message: “System not ready.” or a
beep sounds.
Before starting
To get the best recognition performance from
NISSAN Voice Recognition, observe the follow-
ing:
. 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 your
commands can be recognized more easily.
