VOICE RECOGNITION
USING VOICE RECOGNITION
SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is in the ON or ACC
position, voice recognition is initialized.
When the initialization is complete, the
system is ready to accept voice commands.
If <
>on the steering wheel is pushed
before the initialization completes, the
display will show a message to wait until
the system is ready.
BEFORE STARTING
To get the best recognition performance
from voice recognition, observe the follow-
ing items.
. The interior of the vehicle should be as
quiet as possible. Close the windows to
eliminate the surrounding noises (traffic
noise, vibration sounds, etc.), which may
prevent the system from correctly re-
cognizing the voice commands.
. Wait until the tone sounds before speak-
ing a command. .
Speak in a natural conversational voice
without pausing between words.
. The system cannot recognize voice com-
mands spoken from passenger seats.
GIVING VOICE COMMANDS
1. Push <>on the steering wheel.
Example
2. A list of commands appears on the
screen, and the system provides the

from the category command list.
INFO:
.Some of the commands for eachcategory are shown on the right side
of the screen and they can also be spoken without selecting a category.

mand, only the commands related to
the selected category can be recog-
nized.

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
No sounds are played though the CD play time is
displayed. The system plays back the first track of the mix
mode disc. (Mix mode is a format in which data
except music is recorded on the first track and
music data is recorded on one other than the
first track in a session.)Play back music data that is recorded on a track
other than the first track.
Music cuts off or skips. The combination of writing software and hard-
ware might not match; or the writing speed,
writing depth, writing width, etc. might not
match the specifications. Create a disc using different writing speed
settings, etc.
The system skips the selected track and moves
to the next track. A non-MP3/WMA file is given an extension of “.
MP3”, “.WMA”, “.mp3” or “.wma”.Prepare MP3/WMA files.
The system plays back a file that is prohibited
due to copyright protection. Prepare playable files.
The tracks do not play back in the desired order. The folder locations in the disc are changed by the writing software while the files are written
in the disc.Check the settings of the writing software, and
create a new disc.
The CD cannot be ejected. The ignition switch is not placed in the ACC or
ON position. Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position.

VEHICLE ICON
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations differ
between 2D and 3D view. This is because the quantity of the displayed information is
reduced so that the screen does not become too cluttered.
There is also a chance that names of the roads or locations
may be displayed multiple times, and the names appearing
on the screen may be different because of a processing
procedure. This is not a malfunction.
The location of the vehicle icon is
misaligned from the actual position. The vehicle was transported after the ignition switch was
placed in the OFF position, for example, by a ferry or car
transporter. Drive the vehicle for a period of time on a
road where GPS signals can be received.
The position and direction of the vehicle icon may be
incorrect depending on the driving environments and the
levels of positioning accuracy of the navigation system. This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehicle for
a period of time to automatically correct the
position and direction of the vehicle icon.
“Current vehicle location” (page 6-55)
Driving with tire chains or tires that have been replaced
may result in an incorrect vehicle location display due to
miscalculation by the speed sensor. Drive the vehicle for a period of time (at
approximately 19 MPH (30 km/h) for about
30 minutes) to automatically correct the
vehicle icon position.
If this does not correct the vehicle icon
position, it is recommended you contact an
INFINITI retailer.
The map data has a mistake or is incomplete (the vehicle
icon position is always misaligned in the same area). Updated road information will be included in
the next version of the map data.
“How to update map data” (page 6-61)
When the vehicle is traveling on a new
road, the vehicle icon is located on
another road nearby. Because the new road is not stored in the map data, the
system automatically places the vehicle icon on the nearest
road available. Updated road information will be included in
the next version of the map data.
