from INFINITI Voice Recognition, observe
the following:

quiet as possible. Close the windows to
eliminate the surrounding noises (traf-
fic noise and vibration sounds, etc.),
which may prevent the system from
correctly recognizing the voice com-
mands.
. 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

nized more easily.

tain 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. Phone numbers
Speak phone numbers according to the
following examples:
. 1-800-662-6200
— “ Dial one eight zero zero six six two
six two zero zero. ”
Note 1: For the best voice recognition
phone dialing results, say phone numbers
as single digits.
Note 2: You cannot say 555-6000 as “ five
five five six thousands ” .
Note 3: 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 ” . Please speak “ zero ” for
the number “ 0 (zero) ” , “ oh ” for the letter
“ o (oh) ” .
