8-2Voice recognition
NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the navigation system and other
systems equipped on this vehicle, in one of two
modes, Standard Mode or Alternate Command
Mode. Standard Mode allows the operation of
Navigation, Phone, Audio, Information and Help.
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. In Standard Mode,
hands-free operation of Change map view,
Route selection and Bluetooth Audio, etc. is
not available through Voice Recognition.
Alternate Command Mode allows advanced
operations. When this mode is active, an
expanded list of commands can be spoken after
pushing<
>, 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 OFF and Standard
Mode be used for the best recognition perfor-
mance.
“Alternate Command Mode” (page 8-11)
INFO:
. To improve recognition success when Alter-
nate Command Mode is active, try using the
Speaker Adaptation function available in that
mode.
“Speaker adaptation” (page 8-20)
Otherwise, it is recommended that Alternate
Command Mode be turned OFF and Stan-
dard Mode be used for the best recognition
performance.
. For the voice commands for the audio,
phone and other systems, refer to the
vehicle Owner’s Manual. The following sec-
tions refer only to the navigation, phone and
information systems.
. If the air conditioner is set to “Auto”, the fan
speed is automatically lowered so that
commands can be recognized more easily.

the first time, it is possible to confirm how to use
commands by viewing the Getting Started
section of the User Guide.

<ENTER>.
2. To confirm the page, scroll the screen using the up and down switches of the main
directional buttons or the center dial.
Practicing voice commands
Practice for using the voice recognition function
can be performed by repeating a phrase after
the system announces it.

.Push <>to stop the voice prompt and
give the command at once. Remember to
wait for the tone before speaking.
. To adjust the volume of the system feed-
back, push the volume control buttons [+] or
[−] on the steering wheel or use the audio
system volume control knob while the

How to speak numbers
NISSAN 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. For
example, to speak 500, “five zero zero” can be
used, but “five hundred” cannot.
Examples:
1-800-662-6200
“One eight zero zero six six two six two zero
zero”
Improving Recognition of Phone numbers:
Recognition of phone numbers can be improved
by speaking the phone number in 3 groups of
numbers. For example, to call 800-662-6200,
speak “Eight Zero Zero” first, and the system will
then ask to speak the next three digits. Then,
speak “Six Six Two”. After recognition, the system will then ask to speak the last 4 digits.
Speak, “Six Two Zero Zero”. Using this method
of phone digit entry can improve recognition
performance.
