modes, Standard Mode or Alternate Command
Mode. In Standard Mode, you can operate
Phone and Information.
The commands that are available are always
shown on the display and announced by the
system. You can complete your desired opera-
tion by simply following the prompts given by the
system. In Standard Mode, hands–free opera-
tion of Audio, Climate Control and Display is not

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: “Phonetic data downloading. Please
wait.”
Before starting
To 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.

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.
In Standard Mode, you can operate Phone and
Information. The commands that are available

by the system. You can complete your desired
operation by simply following the prompts given
by the system. In this mode, hands-free opera-
tion of Audio, Climate Control and Display is not
available through Voice Recognition.

Alternate Command Mode that enables the
operation of the display, audio and climate
control through Voice Recognition. When this
mode is active, an expanded list of commands
can be spoken after pushing<TALK>, and the
voice command menu prompts are turned off.
Please 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.
For U.S. customers, Standard Mode is selected
by default. For Canadian customers, Alternate
Command Mode is the default mode. One mode
can be switched to another.

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 3
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
4 digits. Say, “Six Two Zero Zero”. Using this
method of phone digit entry can improve
recognition performance.
INFO:
When speaking a house number, speak the
number “0” as “zero”. If the letter “O” is included
in the house number, it will not be recognized as
the number “0” even if you speak “oh” instead of
“zero”. You can only say zero for “0”.
