vehicle. The system will list the names
assigned to each phone and then prompt
you for the phone you wish to select. Only
one phone can be active at a time.

“Bluetooth Off”
Use the Bluetooth Off command to pre-
vent a wireless connection to your phone.
“Replace phone”
This can be used to reconnect a new
phone with the vehicle you have changed
your cellular phone.
SPEAKER ADAPTATION (SA) MODE
Speaker Adaptation allows up to two out-
of dialect users to train the system to
improve recognition accuracy. By repeat-
ing a number of commands, the users
can create a voice model of their own
voice that is stored in the system. The
system is capable of storing a differentspeaker adaptation model for each con-
nected phone.
Training procedure
1. Position the vehicle in a reasonably
quiet outdoor location.
2. Sit in the driver’s seat with the engine running, the parking brake on, and the
transmission in Park.
3. Push and hold the
button for
more than 5 seconds.
4. The system announces: “Press the PHONE SEND (
) button for the
hands-free phone system to enter
the speaker adaptation mode or press
the PHONE END (
) button to select
a different language.”
5. Push the
button.
For information on selecting a differ-
ent language, see “Choosing a lan-
guage” (P.4-90).
6. If the connected phone is already in use, the system will prompt you to
overwrite. Follow the instructions pro-
vided by the system.
7. When preparation is complete and you are ready to begin, push the
button.
8. The SA mode will be explained. Follow the instructions provided by the sys-
tem. 9. When training is finished, the system
will tell you an adequate number of
phrases have been recorded.
10. The system will announce that speak- er adaptation has been completed
and the system is ready.
The SA mode will stop if:
. The
button is pressed for more
than 5 seconds in SA mode.
. The vehicle is driven during SA mode.
. The ignition switch is placed in the
OFF or LOCK position.
Training phrases
During the SA mode, the system instructs
you to say the following phrases.
(The system will prompt you for each
phrase.)
.phonebook transfer entry
. dial 3 0 4 2 9
. delete call back number

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.4-92).
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.4-96).
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.4-93).
2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.

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 sim-
ply following the prompts given by the
system. (See “NISSAN voice recognition
Standard Mode” (P.4-99) for details.)
For advanced operation, you can use the
Alternate Command Mode. (See “NISSAN
voice recognition Alternate Command
Mode” (P.4-110) 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 recog-
nition 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 Func- tion available in that mode. Otherwise, it
is recommended that Alternate Com-
mand Mode be turned off and Standard
Mode be used for the best recognition
performance.
For the voice commands for the naviga-
tion system, refer to the Navigation Sys-
tem Owner’s Manual of your vehicle.
For Roadster models:
The voice recognition system cannot be
operated when the soft top is not closed.

ways shown on the display and spo-
ken through voice menu prompts.
Commands other than those that

announced.
Voice Prompt Interrupt:
To skip the voice guidance function and
give the command immediately, push the
TALK
switch to interrupt the system.
Remember to speak after the tone.
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, if you would like 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 num-
bers
You can improve the recognition of
phone numbers by saying the phone
number in three groups of numbers. For
example, when you try to call 800-662-
6200, say “eight zero zero” first, and the
system will then ask you for the next
three digits. Then, say “six six two”. After
recognition, the system will then ask for
the last four digits. Say, “six two zero zero”.
Using this method of phone digit entry
can improve recognition performance.
When speaking a house number, speak
the number “0” as “zero”. If the letter “o
(Oh)” is included in the house number, it
will not be recognized as the number “0
(zero)” even if you speak “oh” instead of
“zero”. Please speak “zero” for the num-
ber “0 (zero)”, “oh” for the letter “o (oh)”

NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION AL-
TERNATE COMMAND MODE
The following section is applicable when
Alternate Command Mode is activated.
When Alternate Command Mode is acti-
vated, an expanded list of commands can
be used after pressing the TALK

mand list when this mode is active. See
examples of Alternate Command Mode
screens.
Please note that in this mode the recog-
nition success rate may be affected as
the number of available commands and
ways of speaking each command are
increased. To improve the recognition
success rate, try using the Speaker Adap-
tation Function available in that mode.
(See “Speaker adaptation function (for
Alternate Command Mode)” (P.4-121).)
Otherwise it is recommended that Alter-
nate Command Mode be turned OFF and
