2018 NISSAN 370Z ROADSTER navigation system

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.

USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is
initialized, 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 performance from 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.
. When the air conditioner is in the
AUTO mode, the fan speed decreases
automatically for easy recognition.
. Wait until a tone sounds before speak-
ing a command.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, follow the solutions
given in this guide for the appropriate error.
Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number one, until the problem is resolved.
Symptom/error messageSolution
The system fails to interpret the command
correctly. 1. Ensure that the command format is valid, see “Command List” (P.4-105).
2. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise
level.
3. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive, for example, windows open or defrost on.
NOTE:
If it is too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that voice commands will not be recognized.
4. If optional words of the command have been omitted, then the command should be tried with
these in place.
The system consistently selects the wrong
voicetag in the phonebook. 1. Ensure that the voicetag requested matches what was originally stored. (See “Bluetooth® hands-
free phone system (models with navigation system)” (P.4-76).)
2. Replace one of the voicetags being confused with a different voicetag.
The system cannot be operated. 1. Make sure that the soft top (for Roadster models) is usable. If the soft top is not working, it is
recommended to contact a NISSAN dealer.
2. Close the soft top (for Roadster models).
3. Open and close the soft top (for Roadster models) before operating the system.
