Giving voice commands
1. Push the TALKswitch located on
the steering wheel.
2. A list of commands appears on the screen, and you will hear a prompt.
3. After the tone sounds and the icon on the screen changes from
to,
speak a command.
Selecting the “Practice” key will start
the practice mode. See “Let’s Practice”
(P.4-101).
4. Continue to follow the voice menu prompts and speak after the tone
sounds until your desired operation
is completed. Selecting the “Help” key can display
the detailed information of the each
command.
Operating tips:
. Say a command after the tone.
. Commands that are available are al-
ways shown on the display and spo-
ken through voice menu prompts.
Commands other than those that
are displayed are not accepted. Please
follow the prompts given by the
system.
. If the command is not recognized, the
system announces, “Please say again”.
Repeat the command in a clear voice.
. Push the BACK button once to return
to the previous screen.
. To exit the voice recognition system,
push and hold the TALK
switch.
The message, “Voice canceled” will be
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)”

Send digits using dial tone:
.Push the TALK
switch during a
phone call.
. The menu will be launched and you
will be provided with the following
guidance: "Please say the digits to
dial".
. After guidance, say the digits of the
number you want to send. After this,
the digits that have been recognized
will be read out.
. If you push the ENTER button on the
steering wheel or on the multi-func-
tion controller, the selected digits will
be sent.
Voice command examples
To use the NISSAN Voice Recognition
function, speaking one command is
sometimes sufficient, but at other times
it is necessary to speak two or more
commands. As examples, some additional
basic operations by voice commands are
described here.
For navigation system commands, see
the separate Navigation System Owner’s
Manual.

number 800-662-6200:
1. Push the TALK
switch located on

9. The system announces, “Dial orChange Number?”
10. Speak “Dial”.
11. The system makes a call to 800-662- 6200.
Note:
. You can also speak “800-662-6200”
(10 continuous digits) or “662-6200” (7
continuous digits), if the area code is
not necessary. However, the 3-3-4
digit grouping is recommended for
improved recognition. (See “How to
say numbers” (P.4-89).)
. You can only say a phone number
using the 3-3-4 grouping, 7 digits, and 10 digits using this command. Please
use the “International Call” command
for all other formats.
. If you say “Change Number” during
phone number entry, the system will
automatically request that you repeat
the number using the 3-3-4 format. In
this case please say the area code first
and then follow the prompts.
. Do not add a “1” in front of the area
code when speaking phone numbers.
. If the system does not recognize your
command, please try repeating the
command using a natural voice.
Speaking too slow or too loudly may
further decrease recognition perfor-
mance.

Speaker adaptation function (for
Alternate Command Mode)
The voice recognition system has a func-
tion to learn the user’s voice for better
voice recognition performance. The sys-
tem can memorize the voices of up to
three persons.
Having the system learn the user’s
voice:
1. Push the SETTING button on the
instrument panel and select the
“Others” key.
2. Select the “Voice Recognition” key. 3. Select the “Speaker Adaptation” key.

5-4Starting and driving
main continuously illuminated. This se-
quence will continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunction indica-
tor is illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pressure
as intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons, including
the installation of replacement or alter-
nate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-
erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires
or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
Additional information
.Since the spare tire is not equipped
with the TPMS, the TPMS does not
monitor the tire pressure of the spare
tire.
. The TPMS will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above 16
MPH (25 km/h). Also, this system may
not detect a sudden drop in tire
pressure (for example a flat tire while
driving).
. The low tire pressure warning light
does not automatically turn off when
the tire pressure is adjusted. After the
tire is inflated to the recommended pressure, the vehicle must be driven at
speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to
activate the TPMS and turn off the low
tire pressure warning light. Use a tire
pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure.
. The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning
also appears on the vehicle informa-
tion display when the low tire pres-
sure warning light is illuminated and
low tire pressure is detected. The
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning turns
off when the low tire pressure warn-
ing light turns off.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning
appears each time the ignition switch
is placed in the ON position as long as
the low tire pressure warning light
remains illuminated.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning
does not appear if the low tire pres-
sure warning light illuminates to in-
dicate a TPMS malfunction.
. Tire pressure rises and falls depending
on the heat caused by the vehicle’s
operation and the outside tempera-
ture. Do not reduce the tire pressure
after driving because the tire pressure
rises after driving. Low outside tem-
perature can lower the temperature
of the air inside the tire which can
cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. If the
warning light illuminates in low ambi-
ent temperature, check the tire pres-
sure for all four tires.
For additional information, see “Low tire
pressure warning light” (P.2-13) and “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.6-
3).
WARNING
. If the low tire pressure warning
light illuminates while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneu-
vers or abrupt braking, reduce
vehicle speed, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop the
vehicle as soon as possible. Driv-
ing with under-inflated tires may
permanently damage the tires
and increase the likelihood of tire
failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in ser-
ious personal injury. Check the
tire pressure for all four tires.
Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label to turn the low
tire pressure warning light OFF. If
