mand. Available commands are dis-
cussed in this section. 4. Voice and display feedback are pro-
vided when the command is accepted.

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.

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”.

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-105

∙ Above 40 mph (64 km/h), it is moreefficient to use A/C to cool the vehicle
due to increased aerodynamic drag
∙ Recirculating the cool air in the cabin when the A/C is on reduces cooling
load
4. Drive at Economical Speeds and Dis-
tances
∙ Observing the speed limit and not exceeding 60 mph (97 km/h) (where
legally allowed) can improve fuel effi-
ciency due to reduced aerodynamic
drag
∙ Maintaining a safe following distance behind other vehicles reduces un-
necessary braking
∙ Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate changes in speed permits reduced
braking and smooth acceleration
changes
∙ Select a gear range suitable to road conditions
5. Use Cruise Control
∙ Using cruise control during highway driving helps maintain a steady
speed ∙ Cruise control is particularly effective
in providing fuel savings when driving
on flat terrains
6. Plan for the Shortest Route
∙ Utilize a map or navigation system to determine the best route to save
time
7. Avoid Idling
∙ Shutting off your engine when safe for stops exceeding 30–60 seconds
saves fuel and reduces emissions
8. Buy an Automated Pass for Toll
Roads
∙ Automated passes permit drivers to use special lanes to maintain cruis-
ing speed through the toll and avoid
stopping and starting
9. Winter Warm Up
∙ Limit idling time to minimize impact to fuel economy
∙ Vehicles typically need no more than 30 seconds of idling at start-up to
effectively circulate the engine oil be-
fore driving ∙ Your vehicle will reach its ideal oper-
ating temperature more quickly
while driving versus idling
10. Keeping your Vehicle Cool
∙ Park your vehicle in a covered parking area or in the shade whenever pos-
sible
∙ When entering a hot vehicle, opening the windows will help to reduce the
inside temperature faster, resulting in
reduced demand on your A/C sys-
tem
11. ECO Mode
∙ The ECO mode helps to enhance the fuel economy by controlling the en-
gine and Continuously Variable
Transmission (if so equipped) opera-
tion automatically to avoid rapid ac-
celeration.
