• You will not be able to use a hands-freephone under the following conditions:– Your vehicle is outside of the cellular service area.
– Your vehicle is in an area where it is difficult to receive a cellular signal; such
as in a tunnel, in an underground park-
ing garage, near a tall building or in a
mountainous area.
– Your cellular phone is locked to prevent it from being dialed.
• When the radio wave condition is not ideal or ambient sound is too loud, it may
be difficult to hear the other person's
voice during a call.
• Do not place the cellular phone in an area surrounded by metal or far away from
the in-vehicle phone module to prevent
tone quality degradation and wireless
connection disruption.
• While a cellular phone is connected through the Bluetooth® wireless connec-
tion, the battery power of the cellular
phone may discharge quicker than usual.
The Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone Sys-
tem cannot charge cellular phones. •Some cellular phones or other devices
may cause interference or a buzzing noise
to come from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
• For additional information, refer to the cellular phone owner's manual regarding
the telephone charges, cellular phone

Initialization
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initial-
ized, which takes a few seconds. If the
button is pressed before the initialization
completes, the system will announce
“There is no phone connected” and will not
react to voice commands.
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. Keep all vents pointed away
from the microphone and close the win-
dows to eliminate surrounding noises
(traffic noises, vibration sounds, etc.),
which may prevent the system from rec-
ognizing 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. • For calling contacts by name, please say
both the first and last name of the con-
tact for better recognition.
Giving voice commands
To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition,
press thebutton located on the steer-
ing wheel for less than 1.5 seconds. 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 a command is not recognized, the sys- tem announces, “Please say or select a
command from the displayed list.” 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
system is waiting for a response by say-
ing, “Cancel” or “Quit.” The system an-
nounces “Exit” and ends the Voice Recog-
nition session. You can also press and
hold the
button on the steering
wheel for 1.5 seconds at any time to end
the Voice Recognition session. Whenever
the Voice Recognition session is can-
celed, a double beep is played to indicate
you have exited the system.
• If you want to adjust the volume of the voice feedback, push the (+ or -) volume
control switches 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.
