INFINITI VOICE RECOGNITION

INFINITI Voice Recognition allows hands­free operation of the navigation system
and other systems equipped on this
vehicle, in one of two modes, Standard
Mode or Alternate Command Mode. In
Standard Mode, you can operate Phone
and Information.

The commands that are available are
always shown on the display and an­nounced by the system. You can complete
your desired operation by simply following
the prompts given by the system. In this
mode, hands – free operation of Audio,
Climate Control and Display is not avail­able through Voice Recognition.

INFO:

.

For the voice commands for the audio, air
conditioner and other systems, refer to the
Owner’s Manual of your vehicle. The follow­ing sections refer only to the navigation,
phone, and information systems.

.

When the system language is set to
“Français” (French) the available commands
and functions differ from those available
when using the system in English.

USING THE SYSTEM

Initialization

When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, INFINITI Voice Recognition is
initialized, which takes a few seconds.
When completed, the system is ready to
accept voice commands. If <TALK> is
pushed before the initialization completes,
the display will show the message: “Pho­netic data downloading. Please wait.”

BEFORE STARTING

To get the best recognition performance
from of INFINITI Voice Recognition, observe
the following:

. The interior of the vehicle should be as

quiet as possible. Close the windows to
eliminate the surrounding noises (traf­fic noise and vibration sounds, etc.),
which may prevent the system from
correctly recognizing the voice com­mands.

. 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 your commands can be recog­nized more easily.

is recommended for improved recognition.

“How to speak numbers” (page 9-23)

.

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 grouping, use
the “International Call” command.

.

If you say “Change Number” during phone
number entry, the system will automatically
request that you repeat the number using
the 3-3-4 format. In this case please say the

area code first and then follow the prompts.

.

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

.

If the system does not recognize your
command, please try repeating the com­mand using a natural voice. Speaking too
slow or too loudly may further decrease
recognition performance.
