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 aspossible. Point all vents away from the
microphone area and close the windows
to eliminate surrounding noises (traffic
noises, vibration sounds, etc.), which may
prevent the system from recognizing
voice commands correctly.
• Wait until the tone sounds before speak- ing a command. Otherwise, the com-
mand will not be received properly.
• Start speaking a command within 5 sec- onds af ter the tone sounds.
• Speak in a natural voice without pausing between words.
Giving voice commands
To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition,
press and release the
button located
on the steering wheel. Af ter the tone
sounds, speak a command. The command given is picked up by the
microphone, and voice feedback is given
when the command is accepted.
• If you need to hear the available com-
mands for the current menu again, say
“Help” and the system will repeat them.
• If a command is not recognized, the sys- tem announces, “Command not recog-
nized. Please try again.” 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 “Cor-
rection” any time the system is waiting for
a response.
• You can cancel a command when the sys- tem is waiting for a response by saying,
“Cancel” or “Quit.” The system announces
“Cancel” or “Quit” and ends the Voice Rec-
ognition session. You can also press and
hold thebutton on the steering
wheel for 5 seconds at any time to end the
Voice Recognition session. Whenever the
Voice Recognition session is canceled, a
double beep is played to indicate you have
exited the system. • If you want to adjust the volume of the
voice feedback, press the volume control
switches (+ or -) on the steering wheel
while being provided with feedback. You
can also use the radio volume control
knob.
Voice Prompt Interrupt
In most cases you can interrupt the voice
feedback to speak the next command by
pressing the
button on the steering
wheel. Af ter interrupting the system, wait
for a beep before speaking your command.

the second level commands with the main
menu command on the main menu. For
example, press the
