● A cellular telephone should not be used
while driving so full attention may be
given to vehicle operation. Some juris­dictions prohibit the useof cellular tele­phones while driving.

● If you must make a call while your ve­hicle is in motion, the hands free cellu­lar phone operational mode (if so
equipped) is highly recommended. Ex­ercise extreme caution at all times so
full attention may be given to vehicle
operation.

● If you are unable to devote full attention
to vehicle operation while talking on
the phone, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop your vehicle.

CAUTION

● Keep the antenna as far away as pos­sible from the electronic control
modules.

● Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in
(20 cm) away from the electronic con­trol system harnesses. Do not route the
antenna wire next to any harness.

● Adjust the antenna standing-wave ratio
as recommended by the manufacturer.

● Connect the ground wire from the CB
radio chassis to the body.

● For details, consult a NISSAN dealer.

WARNING

● Use a phone after stopping your vehicle
in a safe location. If you have to use a
phone while driving, exercise extreme
caution at all timesso full attention may
be given to vehicle operation.

● If you are unable to devote full attention
to vehicle operation while talking on
the phone, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop your vehicle.

With BluetoothT wireless technology, you can

LHA1158

make or receive a hands-free telephone call with
your cellular phone in the vehicle.

Once your cellular phone is paired to the in­vehicle phone module, no other phone connect­ing procedure is required. Your phone is auto­matically connected with the in-vehicle phone

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems 4-99

module when the ignition switch is placed in the
ON positionwith the paired cellular phoneturned
on and carried in the vehicle.

You can register up to 5 different BluetoothT
cellular phones to the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular phone
at a time.

Before using the BluetoothT Hands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.

● Set up the wireless connection between a
compatible cellular phone and the in-vehicle
phone module before using the hands-free
phone system.

● Some BluetoothT enabled cellular phones
may not be recognized by the in-vehicle
phone module. Please visit
www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth for a recom­mended phone list and pairing.

● You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:

– Your vehicle is outside of the cellular ser-

vice area.

– Your vehicle is in an area where it is

difficult to receive a cellular signal; such
as in a tunnel, in an underground parking
garage, near a tall building or in a moun­tainous area.

● When the radio wave condition is not ideal
or ambient sound is too loud, it may be
difficult to hear the other person’s voice dur­ing a call.

● Do not place the cellular phone in an area
surrounded by metal or far away from the
in-vehicle phone module to prevent tone
quality degradation and wireless connection
disruption.

● While a cellular phone is connected through
the BluetoothT wireless connection,the bat­tery power of the cellular phone may dis­charge quicker than usual. The BluetoothT
Hands-Free Phone System cannot charge
cellular phones.

● If the hands-free phone system seems to be
malfunctioning, see“Troubleshooting guide”
in this section. You can also visit
www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth for trouble­shooting help.

● Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers. Stor­ing the device in a different location may
reduce or eliminate the noise.

● Refer to the cellular phone Owner’s Manual
regarding the telephone charges, cellular
phone antenna and body, etc.

commands, the users can create a voice model of
their own voice that is stored in the system. The
system is capable of storing a different speaker
adaptation model for memory A and memory B.

If memory A is available, the system will use
memory A to store the model. If memory A is in
use and memory B is available, the system will
use memory B to store the model. If both of the
memory locations are in use, the system will ask
the user to select which memory location should
be overwritten.

Training procedure

The procedure for training a voice is as follows.

1. Position the vehicle in a reasonably quiet
outdoor location.

2. Sit in the driver’s seat with the engine run­ning, theparking brake on, andthe transmis­sion in P (Park).

3. Press and hold the

● call seven six three oh one

● go back

● call five six two eight zero

● dial six six four three seven

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

The system should respond correctly to all voice
commands without difficulty. If problems are en­countered, try the following solutions.

1. Ensure that the command is valid. See “List of voice commands”

2. Ensure that the command is spoken after the tone.

3. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level in the vehicle.

4. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, windows open or defroster on). NOTE: If it is too
noisy to use the phone, it is likely that the voice commands will not be recognized.

5. If more than one command was said at a time, try saying the commands separately.

6. If the system consistently fails to recognize commands, the voice training procedure should be carried out to im­prove the recognition response for the speaker. See “Speaker adaptation (SA) mode”

1. Ensure that the phone book entry name requested matches what was originally stored. This can be confirmed by
using the “List Names” command. See “Phone book”

2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.

Where the solutions are listed by number, try
each solution in turn, starting with number 1, until
the problem is resolved.

● You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:

– Your vehicle is outside of the cellular ser-

vice area.

WHA1350

– Your vehicle is in an area where it is

difficult to receive cellular signal; such as
in a tunnel, in an underground parking
garage, near a tall building or in a moun­tainous area.

– Your cellular phone is locked to prevent it

from being dialed.

● When the radio wave condition is not ideal
or ambient sound is too loud, it may be
difficult to hear the other person’s voice dur­ing a call.

● Immediately after the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position, it may be impos­sible to receive a call for a short period of
time.

● Do not place the cellular phone in an area
surrounded by metal or far away from the
in-vehicle phone module to prevent tone
quality degradation and wireless connection
disruption.

● While a cellular phone is connected through
the BluetoothT wireless connection,the bat­tery power of the cellular phone may dis­charge quicker than usual. The BluetoothT
Hands-Free Phone System cannot charge
cellular phones.

NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION

DRAFT-PROOF REVIEW COPY

Note to reviewers: Please confirm that Canada vehicles default to the
Alternate command mode for Voice Recognition and that US vehicles
default to the Standard command mode for Voice Recognition. Also,
are both modes available for US and Canada, the only difference
being which mode the system defaults to?

SYSTEM (if so equipped)

NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the systems equipped on this ve­hicle, such as phone and vehicle information.

There are two voice recognition modes of opera­tion available. They are:

● Standard Mode

● Alternate Command Mode

In Standard Mode (the factory default setting),
commands that are available are always shown
on thedisplay 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
NISSAN Voice Recognition.

For advanced operation, you can change to an
Alternate Command Mode that enables the op­eration of the display, audio, and climate control
through NISSAN Voice Recognition. When this
mode is active, an expanded list of commands

can be spoken after pushing the TALK
switch on the steeringwheel, and the voice com­mand menu prompts are turned off.

In Alternate Command Mode the recognition
success rate may be affected because the num­ber of available commands and the ways of
speaking each command are increased. See

“NISSAN Voice Recognition Alternate Com­mand Mode” in this section.

To improve the recognition success rate when
Alternate Command Mode is active, try using the
Speaker Adaptation Function available in that
mode. See “Speaker Adaptation Function” later
in this section. Otherwise, it is recommended that
Alternate Command Mode be turned off and
Standard Mode be used for the best recognition
performance.

For the voice commands for the navigation sys­tem, refer to the Navigation System Owner’s
Manual of your vehicle.

For vehicles in the U.S., the factory default setting
is the Standard Mode. See “Standard Mode” in
this section. For vehicles in Canada, the factory
default setting is the Alternate Command Mode.
See “Alternate Command Mode” in this section.

NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION
STANDARD MODE

The Standard Mode enables control of naviga­tion, phone and vehicle information. With this
setting active, commands that are available are
always shown on the display and announced by
the system.

USING THE SYSTEM

DRAFT-PROOF REVIEW COPY

Initialization

When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initialized,
which takes a few seconds. When completed,
the system is ready to accept voice commands. If

the switch is pressed before the initializa­tion completes, voice commands will not be ac­cepted. Please wait until the NISSAN Voice Rec­ognition initialization is completed.

BEFORE STARTING

To get the best recognition performance from
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 mayprevent the
system from correctly recognizing the voice
commands.

● Waituntil the tone sounds before speaking a
command.

● Speak in anatural 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.

● Say a command after the tone. Voice com­mands cannot be accepted when the icon

is .

● Commands that are available are always
shown on the display and spoken through
voice menu prompts. Commands other than
those that are displayed are not accepted.
Please follow the prompts given by the sys­tem.

● If the command is not recognized, the sys­tem repeats the announcement. Repeat the
command in a clear voice.

● Press the switch on the steering
wheel to return to the previous screen.

● If you want to cancel the command, press
and hold the switch. The message,

“Voice cancelled” will be announced.

is making an announcement.

How to speak numbers

Voice Recognition requires a certain way to
speak numbers when giving voice commands.
Refer to the following examples.

General rule:

● Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 can be used.

● When saying the phone number 800-662-

6200, the system will accept “eight­hundred” in addition to “eight zero zero” or
“eight oh oh”. 500, 700, and 900 are also
supported.

Examples:

● 1-800-662-6200
– “One eight zero zero six six two six two

zero zero”

– “One eight hundred six six two six two

zero zero”

Improving Recognition of Phone numbers:

You can improve the recognition of phone num­bers by saying the phone number in three groups
of numbers. For example, when you try to call
800-662-6200, say “eight zero zero” first, and
the system will then ask you for the next three
digits. Then, say “six six two”. After recognition,
the system will then ask for the last four digits.
Say, “six two zero zero”. Using this method of
phone digit entry can improve recognition perfor­mance.

NOTE:
When speaking a house number, speak the

number “0” as “zero” or “oh”. If the letter
“O” is included in the house number, it will
not be recognized as “0” even if you speak
“oh” instead of “zero”.

USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization

When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initialized,
which takes a few seconds. When completed,
the system is ready to accept voice commands. If

the switch is pressed before the initializa­tion completes the display will show the mes­sage: “Phonetic data downloaded. Please wait.”
or a beep sounds.

Before starting

To get the best performance from NISSAN Voice
Recognition, observe the following:

● Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible. Close the windows to eliminate the
surrounding noises (traffic noises, vibration
sounds, etc.), whichmay prevent thesystem
from recognizing the voice commands cor­rectly.

● When the climate control is in the AUTO
mode, the fan speed decreases automati­cally for easy recognition.

● Wait until a tone sounds before speaking a
command.

● Speak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.

How to speak numbers

Voice Recognition requires a certain way to
speak numbers when giving voice commands.
Refer to the following examples.

General rule:

● Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 can be used.

● When saying the phone number 800-662-

6200, the system will accept “eight­hundred” in addition to “eight zero zero” or
“eight oh oh”. 500, 700, and 900 are also
supported.

Examples:

● 1-800-662-6200
– “One eight zero zero six six two six two

zero zero”

– “One eight hundred six six two six two

zero zero”

Improving Recognition of Phone numbers:

You can improve the recognition of phone num­bers by saying the phone number in three groups
of numbers. For example, when you try to call
800-662-6200, say “eight zero zero” first, and
the system will then ask you for the next three
digits. Then, say “six six two”. After recognition,
the system will then ask for the last four digits.
Say, “six two zero zero”. Using this method of
phone digit entry can improve recognition perfor­mance.

NOTE:
When speaking a house number, speak the

number “0” as “zero” or “oh”. If the letter
“O” is included in the house number, it will
not be recognized as “0” even if you speak
“oh” instead of “zero”.
