INFINITI QX60 HYBRID 2015 Owner's Manual

Voice command examples
Some basic voice command examples are de-
scribed here.
For navigation system commands, refer to the
separate Navigation System Owner’s Manual.Example 1 — Placing a call to the phone
number 800-662-6200:1. Press the
button located on the steer-
ing wheel.
2. The system announces, “Would you like to access Phone, Navigation, Information, Au-
dio or Help?”
3. Say “Phone”.
4. Say “Dial Number”.
5. Say “800”.
6. The system announces, “Please say the next 3 digits or dial, or say change number.” 7. Say “662”.

4 digits or say change number.”
9. Say “6200”.
10. The system announces, “Dial or Change Number?”
11. Say “Dial”.
12. The system makes a call to 800-662- 6200.
NOTE: ● You can also speak “800-662-6200” (10
continuous digits) or “662-6200” (7 con-
tinuous digits) , if the area code is not nec-
essary. However, the 3-3-4 digit grouping is
recommended for improved recognition. For
additional information, refer to “How to
speak numbers” in this section.
● You can only say a phone number using the
3-3-4 grouping, 7 digits, and 10 digits using

●If you say “Change Number” during phone
number entry, the system will automatically
request that you repeat the number using

area code first and then follow the prompts.
● Do not add a “1” in front of the area code
when speaking phone numbers.

mand, please try repeating the command
using a natural voice. Speaking too slowly or
too loudly may further decrease recognition

USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, INFINITI Voice Recognition is initialized,
which takes a few seconds. When completed,
the system is ready to accept voice commands. If
the
switch is pressed before the initializa-
tion completes, the display will show the mes-
sage: “System not ready” or a beep sounds.
Before starting
To get the best performance from INFINITI Voice
Recognition, observe the following:
● Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible. Close the windows to eliminate the
surrounding noises (traffic noises, vibration
sounds, etc.) , which may prevent the system
from recognizing the voice commands cor-
rectly.
● When the climate control is in the AUTO
mode, the fan speed decreases automati-
cally for easy recognition.
● Wait until a tone sounds before speaking a
command.
● Speak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.
Giving voice commands
1. Press and release thebutton located
on the steering wheel. 2. A list of commands appears on the screen,
and the system announces, “Please say a
command from the displayed list or say Help
to show all commands.”
3. After the tone sounds and the icon on the screen changes from
to, speak
a command.
4. Once a command is recognized, the system will announce the recognized command and
perform the requested action.
If the command is not recognized, the sys-
tem repeats the announcement. Repeat the
command in a clear voice after the tone.

Operating tips
●Say a command after the tone. Voice com-
mands cannot be accepted when the icon
is
.
● If the command is not recognized, the sys-
tem repeats the announcement. Repeat the
command in a clear voice.
● Say “Back” when prompted to return to the
previous screen.
● If you want to cancel the command, press
and hold the
switch. The message,
“Voice recognition is cancelled” will be an-
nounced.
● If you want to adjust the volume of the sys-
tem feedback, push the volume control
switch on the steering wheel or use the
audio system volume knob while the system
is making an announcement.
● To minimize the amount of prompts spoken
by the system in Alternate Command Mode,
use the Minimize Voice Feedback function.
To access the Minimize Voice Feedback
function press the SETTING button, then
select the “Others” key. Then select the
“Voice Recognition” key.
How to speak numbers
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.
● When saying the phone number 800-662-
6200, the system will accept “eight-
hundred” in addition to “eight zero zero” or
“eight oh oh”. 500, 700, and 900 are also
supported.
Examples ● 1-800-662-6200
– “One eight zero zero six six two six two zero zero”
– “One eight hundred six six two six two zero zero”
Improving Recognition of Phone numbers
You can improve the recognition of phone num-
bers 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 3 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.
NOTE:
When speaking a house number, speak the
number “0” as “zero” or “oh”. If the letter
“O” is included in the house number, it will
not be recognized as “0” even if you speak
“oh” instead of “zero”.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The system should respond correctly to all voice
commands without difficulty. If problems are en-
countered, follow the solutions given in this guide
for the appropriate error.
Where the solutions are listed by number, try
each solution in turn, starting with number one,
until the problem is resolved.
Symptom/error messageSolution
Displays “COMMAND NOT RECOG-
NIZED” or the system fails to interpret
the command correctly. 1. Ensure that the command format is valid, refer to “Standard Mode command list” or “Alternate Command Mode command list” in this
section.
2. Speak clearly using your normal speech pattern and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level.
3. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive, for example, windows open or defrost on.
NOTE:
If it is too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that voice commands will not be recognized.
The system consistently selects the
wrong voicetag in the phonebook. 1. Ensure that the voicetag requested matches what was originally stored. For additional information, refer to “Bluetooth® Hands-Free
Phone System with Navigation System” in this section.
2. Replace one of the voicetags being confused with a different voicetag.
