Up to 5 phones can be paired. If you try to pair a
sixth phone, the system announces that you
must first delete one phone or replace an
existing phone.
If you try to pair a phone that has already been
paired to your vehicle’s system, the system
announces the name the phone is already using.
The pairing procedure will then be canceled.
When prompted by the system, choose from the
following commands:
.“New phone” — see “PAIRING PROCE-
DURE” earlier in this section.
.“Replace phone” — The system announces
the names of the phones already paired and
asks which you would like to replace.
Once you say the name of the phone you
wish to replace, the paring procedure will
begin. (See “PAIRING PROCEDURE” ear-
lier in this section.)
.“List phone” — See the description below.
“List Phones”
Use the List Phone command to hear the names
of the phones currently paired. If no phones are
paired, the system announces, “No paired
phones to list.” The system then ends the VR
session.“Select Phone”
Use the Select Phone command to select a
phone of lesser priority when two or more
phones paired with Bluetooth
®Hands-Free
Phone System are in the vehicle at the same
time.
The system asks you to name the phone and
confirm the selection.
Once the selection is confirmed, the selected
phone remains active until the ignition switch is
turned OFF or you select a new phone.
“Change Priority”
Use the Change Priority command to change
the priority level of the active phone.
The priority level determines which phone is
active when more than one paired Bluetooth
®
phone is in the vehicle.
The system states the priority level of the active
phone and asks for a new priority level (1, 2, 3,
4, 5) .
If the new priority level is already being used for
another phone, the two phones will swap priority
levels.For example, if the current priority levels are:
Priority Level 1 = Phone A
Priority Level 2 = Phone B
Priority Level 3 = Phone C
and you change the priority level of Phone C to
Level 1, then:
Priority Level 1 = Phone C
Priority Level 2 = Phone B
Priority Level 3 = Phone A
“Delete Phone”
Use the Delete Phone command to delete a
specific phone or all phones from the Bluetooth
®
Hands-Free Phone System.
The system announces the names of the phones
already paired with the system and their priority
level. The system then gives you the option to
delete a specific phone, all phones or listen to
the list again.
Once you choose to delete a phone or all
phones, the system asks you to confirm this
action.
NOTE:
When you delete a phone, the associated
phone book for that phone will also be
deleted.

“Select Ring tone”
Use the Select Ring tone command to select the
tone heard in the vehicle when an incoming call
is received.
The system announces the name of the active
phoneandasksyoutochoosefromthe
following commands:
.“Ringtone” — The system plays a ringtone
and asks if you would like to select that tone.
If you say no, the system plays the next
ringtone available and continues to cycle
through the ringtones until you select one or
quit.
.“Silent” — The system asks you to confirm
your wish to disable the ringtone.SPEAKER ADAPTATION (SA) MODESpeaker Adaptation allows up to two out-of
dialect users to train the system to improve
recognition accuracy. By repeating a number of
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 thememory locations are in use, the system will ask
the user to select which memory location should
be overwritten.
Training procedureThe 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, the parking brake on, and the
transmission in the P (Park) position.
3. Press and hold the
button for more
than 5 seconds.
4. The system announces: “Press the PHONE/
SEND (
) button for the hands-free
phone system to enter the speaker adapta-
tion mode.
5. Press thebutton.
6. Voice memory A or memory B is selected
automatically. If both memory locations are
already in use, the system will prompt you to
overwrite one. Follow the instructions pro-
vided by the system.
7. When preparation is complete and you are
ready to begin, the press the
button.
8. The SA mode will be explained. Follow the
instructions provided by the system.9. When training is finished, the system will tell
you an adequate number of phrases have
been recorded.
10. The system will ask you to say your name.
Follow the instructions to register your
name.
11. The system will announce that speaker
adaptation has been completed and the
system is ready.
The SA mode will stop if:
.The
button is pressed for more than 5
seconds in SA mode.
.The vehicle is driven during SA mode.
.The ignition switch is pushed to the OFF or
LOCK position.
Training phrasesDuring the SA mode, the system instructs you to
say the following phrases.
(The system will prompt you for each phrase.)

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDEThe system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, try the following solutions.
Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number 1, until the problem is resolved.Symptom Solution
System fails to interpret the command
correctly.1. Ensure that the command is valid. (See “LIST OF VOICE COMMANDS” earlier in this section.)
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” earlier in this section.)
The system consistently selects the
wrong entry from the phone book.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” earlier in this section.)
2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.4-108

NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the systems equipped on this
vehicle, such as phone and vehicle information
as a factory default setting (Standard Mode) .
Commands that are available are always shown
on the display 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, and the voice command
menu prompts are turned off. Note that in this
mode the recognition success rate may be
affected as the number of available commands
and the ways of speaking each command are
increased. (See “NISSAN VOICE RECOGNI-
TION ALTERNATE COMMAND MODE” later in
this section for details about Alternate Com-
mand Mode.)
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 FUNC-
TION” later in this section.) Otherwise, it isrecommended 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.

before the initialization completes, the display
will show the message: “Phonetic data down-
loaded. Please wait.” or a beep sounds.
BEFORE STARTINGTo get the best recognition performance from
NISSAN Voice Recognition, observe the follow-
ing:
.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.
.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 your
commands can be recognized more easily.

How to speak numbersNISSAN 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, if you would like to say 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:
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.
When speaking a house number, speak the
number “0” as “zero”. If the letter “o (Oh)” is
included in the house number, it will not be
recognized as the number “0 (zero)” even if you
speak “oh” instead of “zero”.You can only say
“zero” for “0 (zero)”. You can say either
“zero” or “ oh” for “o (Oh)”.
