INFINITI Voice Recognition System

(for vehicles with the INFINITI Navigation system)

The INFINITI Voice Recognition system allows handsfree operation of certain vehicle functions using voice commands. Available commands are announced by the system and shown on the center Display Screen. Simply follow the instructional prompts given by the system to complete the desired operation.

In Standard Mode (the default setting), the following systems can be operated using Voice Recognition commands:

■ Phone

■ Navigation

■ Information

■ Help

When the Alternate Command Mode is activated, additional systems such as Audio, and Climate Control—can be operated using Voice Recognition commands. Refer to “Alternate Command Mode” later in this section for more information about this feature.

To Operate the Voice Recognition System:

1 Press the TALK/PHONE button located on the steering

wheel. The system will respond, “Would you like to access Phone, Navigation, Information, or Help?” and the center Display Screen will change to a list of available commands to speak.

2 After the tone, say one of the command choices. The system

will then proceed to the next step. Continue listening to the prompts and responding with the requested information until the operation is completed. If you want to repeat a step or if the system incorrectly recognized your command, press the BACK button on the steering wheel or on the INFINITI Controller.

If the system does not recognize your command, repeat the command. Avoid raising the volume of your voice or slowing down your speech.

System Operating Tips

■ The interior of the vehicle should be as quiet as possible. Close the windows to eliminate

the surrounding noises.

■ Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a command.

■ Speak in a natural conversational voice with minimal pauses between words.

Speaking Phone Numbers

The system provides two commands for entering and dialing a phone number: “Dial Number” and “International Call.” The “Dial Number” command is used for domestic phone numbers up to 11 digits in length (including the long-distance dialing prefix “1”). The “International Call” command is used when more than 11 digits need to be dialed. When using these two commands, follow the phone digit speaking rules below:

■ The system will accept only single digits 0 (zero) to 9.

■ The long-distance dialing prefix “1” is not required when making a call.

■ When saying a phone number like 800-662-6200, the system will accept “eight-hundred”

in addition to “eight zero zero” or “eight oh oh.” 500, 700 and 900 are also supported.
