lized, which may take up to one minute.

accept voice commands. If >is

the display will show the message: “Sys-
tem not ready”.
BEFORE STARTING
To get the best recognition performance
from Voice Recognition, observe the follow-
ing items.
. The interior of the vehicle should be as
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
so that voice commands can be recog-
nized more easily.
GIVING VOICE COMMANDS
1. Push located on the steering
wheel.
2. A list of commands appears on the screen, and the system provides the
voice menu prompt “Would you like to
access Phone, Navigation, Information,
Audio or Help?”.
3. After the tone sounds and the icon on the screen changes from [
]to[],
speak a command.
4. Continue to follow the voice menu prompts and speak after the tone
sounds until the preferred operation is
completed.

Operating tips
.Speak a command after the tone.
. Commands that are available are al-
ways shown on the display and spoken
through voice menu prompts. Com-
mands other than those that are dis-
played are not accepted. Follow the
prompts given by the system.
. If the command is not accepted, the
system announces, “Please say again”.

feedback, push the volume control
buttons <+> or <−> on the steering wheel

How to speak numbers
INFINITI Voice Recognition requires a cer-
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 speaking 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.
INFO:
For best recognition, speak “zero” for the
number “0”and “oh” for the letter “o”.
VOICE COMMAND EXAMPLES
To use the voice recognition function,
speaking one command is sometimes
sufficient, but at other times it is necessary
to speak two or more commands. As
examples, some additional basic opera-
tions that can be performed by voice
commands are described here.
Example 1: Placing call to phone
number 800-662-6200
1. Pushlocated on the steering
wheel.
2. The system announces, “Would you like

prompts.
.Do not add a“1”in front of the area code
when speaking phone numbers.
.If the system does not recognize a voice
command, please try repeating the com-
mand using a natural voice. Speaking too
slowly or too loudly may further decrease
recognition performance.
Example 2: Placing international
call to phone number 011-81-111-
222-333
