name you would like to give the new
entry.
For example, say: “Mary.”
If the name is too long or too short, the
system tells you, then prompts you for a
name again.
Also, if the name sounds too much like a
name already stored, the system tells you,
then prompts you for a name again.
The system will ask you to transfer a
phone number stored in the cellular
phone’s memory.
To enter a phone number by voice
command:
For example, say: “five five five one two
one two.” See “How to say numbers” (P.4-
97) for more information.
To transfer a phone number stored in the
cellular phone’s memory:
Say: “Transfer entry.” The system ac-
knowledges the command and asks you
to initiate the transfer from the phone
handset. The new contact phone number
will be transferred from the cellular phone
via the Bluetooth® communication link.
The transfer procedure varies according
to each cellular phone. See the cellular
phone Owner’s Manual for details. You
can also visit www.nissanusa.com/blue-
tooth for instructions on transferringphone numbers from NISSAN recom-
mended cellular phones.
The system repeats the number and
prompts you for the next command.
When you have finished entering num-
bers or transferring an entry, choose
“Store.”
The system confirms the name, location
and number.
“Delete Entry”
Use the Delete Entry command to delete
one entry from the phonebook. After the
system acknowledges a command, say
the name to delete or say “List Names” to
choose an entry.
“List Names”
Use the List Names command to hear all
the names in the phonebook. The system
recites the phonebook entries but does
not include the actual phone numbers.
When playback of the list is complete, the
system returns to the main menu.
Playback of the list can be stopped at any
time by pushing the
button on the
steering wheel. The system ends the VR
session.
Phonebook (phones with auto-
matic phonebook download func-
tion)
NOTE:
Phonebook commands are not avail-
able when the vehicle is moving.
For phones that support automatic
download of the phonebook (PBAP Blue-
tooth profile), the “Phonebook” command
is used to manage entries to the vehicle
phonebook. You can say the name of an
entry at this menu to initiate dialing of
that entry.
The phonebook stores up to 1000 names
for each phone paired with the system.
Each name can have up to 4 locations/
phone numbers associated with it.
When a phone is connected to the
system, the phonebook is automatically
downloaded to the vehicle. This feature
allows you to access your phonebook
from the Bluetooth® system and call
contacts by name. You can record a

custom voice tag for contact names that
the system has difficulty recognizing. For
more information see “Record Name” in
this section.
NOTE:
Each phone has its own separate pho-
nebook. You cannot access Phone A’s
phonebook if you are currently con-
nected with Phone B.
“List names”
Use the List Names command to hear all
the names and locations in the phone
book.
The system recites the phone book
entries but does not include the actual
phone numbers. When the playback of
the list is complete, the system goes back
to the main menu.
You can stop the playback of the list at
any time by pressing the
button on
the steering wheel. The system ends the
VR session. See the “Record Name” com-
mand in this section for information
about recording custom voice tags for
list entries that the system has difficulty
pronouncing.
“Record name”
The system allows you to record custom
voice tags for contact names in the phonebook that the vehicle has difficulty
recognizing. This feature can also be used
to record voice tags to directly dial an
entry with multiple numbers. Up to 40
voice tags can be recorded to the system.
“Next Name”
Use the Next Name command to move
the next name of list.
“Previous Name”
Use the Previous Name command to
move the previous name of list.
Recent Calls
Use the Recent Calls command to access
outgoing, incoming or missed calls.
“Outgoing”

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.

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)”

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.

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.4-97).)
. 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.
