INFINITI VOICE RECOGNITION

INFINITI Voice Recognition allows handsfree operation of the navigation system and other systems equipped on this vehicle, such as the phone, vehicle information and audio. INFINITI Voice Recognition can be used in one of two selectable modes, Standard Mode or Alternate Command Mode.

In Standard Mode, the commands that are available are always shown on the display and announced by the system. To perform operations, simply follow the prompts given by the system.

For advanced operations, change to Alternate Command Mode. When this mode is active, an expanded list of commands can be spoken after pushing <TALK steering wheel, and the voice command menu prompts are turned off. Note that in this mode the recognition success rate may decrease because there are more commands available and more ways of speaking each command. Otherwise, it is recommended that Alter nate Command Mode be turned off and Standard Mode be used for the best recognition performance.

> on the

INFO:

For voice recognition system operations

related to the phone, audio or vehicle information systems, refer to the vehicle Owner’s Manual.

When the system language is set to “Français” (French) or “Español” (Spanish), the available commands and functions may differ from those that are available when using the system in English.

USING VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEM

Initialization

When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON position, INFINITI Voice Recognition is initialized, which may take up to one minute. When completed, the system is ready to accept voice commands. If <TALK

> is pushed before the initialization

completes, the display will show the message: “System not ready.”

BEFORE STARTING

To get the best recognition performance from INFINITI Voice Recognition, observe the following points.

. 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 recognizing the voice commands.

. The voice recognition system cannot be

operated when the retractable hard top is not closed (for G37 Convertible only).

. Wait until the tone sounds before

speaking a command.

. Speak in a natural conversational voice

without pausing between words.

. If the air conditioner is set to “Auto”,

the fan speed is automatically lowered so that commands can be recognized more easily.

VOICE COMMAND EXAMPLES

Tousethevoicerecognitionsystem, speaking one command is sometimes sufficient, but at other times it is necessary to speak two or more commands. As examples, some additional basic operations that can be performed by voice commands are described here.

Example 1: Placing call to phone number 800-662-6200

1. Push <TALK

2. The system announces, “Would you like to access Phone, Navigation, Information, Audio or Help?”.

3. Speak “Phone”.

4. Speak “Dial Number”.

> located on the steering

5. Speak “800”.

6. The system announces, “Please say next three digits or dial, or say change number”. Speak “662”.

Page 37

7. The system announces, “Please say last four digits or say change number”. Speak “6200”.

8. The system announces, “Dial or Change Number?”. Speak “Dial”.

9. The system makes a call to 800-662-

6200.

INFO:

Speaking “800-662-6200” (10 continuous

digits) or “662-6200” (7 continuous digits) is acceptable, if the area code is not necessary. However the 3-3-4 digit grouping is recommended for improved recognition.

“How to speak numbers” (page 9-14)

The INFINITI voice recognition system is not limited to recognizing phone numbers of only 7 or 10 digits. To dial a number in a format other than the 3-3-4 digit grouping, use the “International Call” command.

If “Change Number” is spoken during phone number entry, the system will automatically request that the number be repeated using the 3-3-4 format. In this case, speak the area code first and then follow the prompts.

2. Getting started

Do not add a “1” in front of the area code when speaking phone numbers.

If the system does not recognize a spoken voice command, try repeating the command using a natural voice. Speaking too slowly or too loudly may further reduce recognition accuracy.

Example 2: Placing international call to phone number 011-81-111-222-333

1. Push <TALK
