lems are encountered, try the following so-
lutions.
Where the solutions are listed by number,

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 elimi-
nate the surrounding noises (traffic
noises, vibration sounds, etc.), which
may prevent the system from recogniz-
ing the voice commands correctly.
∙ Wait until a tone sounds before speak- ing a command. Otherwise, the com-
mand will not be received properly.
∙ Start speaking a command within 3.5 seconds af ter the tone sounds.
∙ Speak in a natural voice without paus- ing between words.
SYSTEM FEATURES
NISSAN Voice Recognition can activate the
following systems:
∙ Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System
∙ Navigation
∙ Audio
∙ Information
∙ My Apps
∙ Help
For additional information, refer to the
separate NissanConnect® Owner’s Manual.
How to say numbers
NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a cer-
tain way to speak numbers in voice com-
mands. Refer to the following examples.
General rule: Either “zero” or “oh” can be
used for “0”.
Phone numbers
Speak phone numbers according to the
following 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”
For the best voice recognition phone dial-
ing results, say phone numbers as single
digits. Also, full numbers can only be spo-
ken for “800”. For example, you cannot say
555-6000 as “five five five six thousand”.
