TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The system should respond correctly to all
voice commands without difficulty. If prob-
lems are encountered, try the following so-
lutions.
Where the solutions are listed by number,
try each solution in turn, starting with num-
ber 1, until the problem is resolved.
SymptomSolution
System fails to interpret the command correctly. 1. Ensure that the command is valid. For additional information, refer to “NISSAN Voice Recognition Sys-
tem” in this section.
2. Ensure that the command is spoken af ter the tone.
3. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level in
the vehicle.
4. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, windows open or defroster on).
NOTE: If it is too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that the voice commands will not be recognized.
5. If more than one command was said at a time, try saying the commands separately.
The system consistently selects the wrong entry from
the phone book. 1. Ensure that the phone book entry name requested matches what was originally stored. For additional

Operating tips
To get the best performance out of NISSAN
Voice Recognition, observe the following:
• Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet aspossible. Close the windows to eliminate
the surrounding noises (traffic noises, vi-
bration sounds, etc.), which may prevent
the system from recognizing the voice
commands correctly.
• Wait until a tone sounds before speaking a command. Otherwise, the command
will not be received properly.
• Start speaking a command within 3.5 seconds af ter the tone sounds.
• Speak in a natural voice without pausing 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 ohoh”
• “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”.
