2-22 Getting started

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> on the steering wheel 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 and Standard Mode be used for the best recognition performance.

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 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 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.
