NISSAN ARMADA 2017 2.G 08IT Navigation Manual

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 opera-
tions, 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 Stan-
dard 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 initia-
lized, 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 follow-
ing 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 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.

Voice command examples
To use the voice recognition function, 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 are performed by voice com-
mands are described here.
Example 1: Placing a call to the phone
number 800-662-6200:
1. Push <TALK
>located on the steering
wheel. You will hear a prompt.
2. Speak “Phone”.
3. Speak “Dial Number”.
4. Speak “800”.
5. The system announces, “Please say next three digits or dial, or say change number”.
Speak “662”.
6. The system announces, “Please say last fourdigits or say change number”. Speak
“6200”.
7. The system announces, “Dial or ChangeNumber ?”. Speak “Dial”.
8. 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 group-
Getting started2-27

ing is recommended for improved recogni-
tion.
“How to speak numbers” (page 9-20)
. The NISSAN 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 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 a voice
command, please try repeating the com-
mand using a natural voice. Speaking too
slowly or too loudly may further decrease
recognition performance. Example 2: Placing an international call to
the phone number 011-81-111-222-3333:
1. Push
<TALK>located on the steering
wheel. You will hear a prompt.
2. Speak “Phone”.
3. Speak “International Call”.
4. Speak “01181111222333”.
5. Speak “Dial”.
6. The system makes a call to 011-81-111- 222-3333.

Any digit input format is available in the
International Number input process.

map database can be recognized by the
system. To improve accuracy, speak the
street name precisely and include Boule-
vard, Way, North, South, etc., if known. If
unsure of the full name, speaking only part of
the street name such as “Figueroa” is
acceptable, but recognition accuracy may
be reduced.
