System Operating Tips:

■ Close all windows. Surrounding noises may interfere with system operation.

■ Operate the system when the vehicle interior is relatively quiet. Set the Heater/Air

Conditioning system to “AUTO” mode, which will decrease fan speed to an ideal level.

■ After pushing the TALK switch or (if so equipped), wait for the tone before speaking.

■ Speak in a clear and natural voice without pausing between words.

Verbal Command Tips (For vehicles with INFINITI Navigation):

1 For the Navigation system, Voice Recognition is programmed with exact street name

information. For example, if the street name is Main Street South, you must say “Main Street South,” not “Main Street,” when prompted.

If there is a possibility that a street has several different names based on location (e.g. Main Street South, East Main Street, etc.), you should manually enter the street address in order to view all available street name choices. See STORING YOUR HOME (AND OTHER ADDRESSES) IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK on page 34.

2 When using Voice Recognition to program a destination in the Navigation system, for the

number “0” say “zero” not “oh.”

3 For some voice-controlled functions, compound numbers (two or more digits together)

may be spoken. For example, to go to FM station 98.1, you may say “Tune ninety-eight point one FM.”

When saying street addresses and phone numbers, however, saying compound numbers may result in a destination seek or phone dial error.

■ For best results, say street addresses and phone numbers as single digits. For

example, say 20360 as “two, zero, three, six, zero” not “twenty, three sixty.

4 If Voice Recognition is having difficulty accepting a state, city, or street name, try

speaking the name phonetically. For example, for “Oregon” say “Ore Egg On.”
