NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION

NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the navigation system and other
systems equipped on this vehicle, such as the
phone, vehicle information and audio. NISSAN
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 operation, change to Alternate
Command Mode. When this mode is active, an
expanded list of commands can be spoken after
pushing <TALK
switch and the voice command menu prompts
are turned off. Note that in this mode the
recognition success rate may be affected
because the number of available commands
and ways of speaking each command are
increased. Otherwise, it is recommended that
Alternate Command Mode be turned to OFF

For U.S. customers, Standard Mode is selected
by default. For Canadian customers, Alternate
Command Mode is the default mode.

Otherwise, it is recommended that Alternate

Command Mode be turned to OFF and Stan­dard Mode be used for the best recognition
performance.

INFO:

. For voice recognition system operation

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

. When the system language is set to

“Franc¸ais” (French) or “Espan˜ol” (Spanish),
the available commands and functions may
differ from those that are available when
using the system in English.

USING THE SYSTEM

Initialization

When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initia­lized, which may take up to one minute. When

BEFORE STARTING

To get the best recognition performance from
NISSAN 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 and
vibration sounds, etc.), which may prevent
the system from correctly recognizing the
voice commands.

. The voice recognition system cannot be

operated when the soft top is not closed (for
Roadster and Cross Cabriolet models).

. 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 voice
commands can be recognized more easily.

GIVING VOICE COMMANDS

The method of giving a voice command in
Standard Mode is described in this section.
