ized, which takes a few seconds. If

tialization completes, the system will an-
nounce “There is no phone connected” and
will not react to voice commands.
Operating tips
To get the best performance out of the
NISSAN Voice Recognition System, observe
the following:
∙ Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as possible. Keep all vents pointed away
from the microphone and close the
windows to eliminate surrounding
noises (traffic noises, vibration sounds,
etc.), which may prevent the system
from recognizing voice commands cor-
rectly. ∙ Wait until the tone sounds before
speaking a command. Otherwise, the
command will not be received properly.
∙ Start speaking a command within 5 seconds af ter the tone sounds.

∙ For calling contacts by name, please say both the first and last name of the
contact for better recognition.

lect a command from the displayed list.”
Make sure the command is said exactly
as prompted by the system and repeat
the command in a clear voice. ∙ If you want to go back to the previous
command, you can say “Go back” or
“Correction” any time the system is
waiting for a response.
∙ You can cancel a command when the system is waiting for a response by say-
ing, “Cancel” or “Quit.” The system an-
nounces “Exit” and ends the Voice Rec-
ognition session. You can also press
and hold the
button on the steer-
ing wheel for 1.5 seconds at any time to
end the Voice Recognition session.

sion is canceled, a double beep is

control switches on the steering wheel
