INFINITI VOICE RECOGNITION
INFINITI Voice Recognition allows hands-
free operation of the navigation system
and other systems equipped on this
vehicle, such as the phone, vehicle infor-
mation and audio.
INFINITI 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
operations, simply follow the prompts
given by the system.
For advanced operations, change to Alter-
nate Command Mode. When this mode is
active, an expanded list of commands can
be spoken after pushing >on the
steering wheel, and the voice command
menu prompts are turned off. Note that in
this mode the recognition success rate may
decrease because there are more com-
mands available and more ways of speak-
ing each command. Otherwise, it is
recommended that Alternate Command
Mode be turned off and Standard Mode
be used for the best recognition perfor-
mance.
INFO:
.
For U.S. customers, Standard Mode is
selected by default. For Canadian custo-
mers, Alternate Command Mode is the
default mode.
.For voice recognition system operations
related to the phone, audio or vehicle
information systems, refer to the vehicle
Owner’s Manual.
.When the system language is set to
“Français” (French) or “Español”(Spanish),
the available commands and functions may
differ from those that are available when
using the system in English.

eliminate the surrounding noises (traf-
fic noise, vibration sounds, etc.), which
may prevent the system from correctly
recognizing the voice commands.
. The voice recognition system cannot be
operated when the retractable hard top
is not closed (for G37 Convertible only).
. 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 commands can be recognized
more easily.
