INFINITI VOICE RECOGNITION
INFINITI 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. Stan-
dard Mode allows the operation of Naviga-
tion, Phone, Audio, Information and Help.
The commands that are available are
always shown on the display and an-
nounced by the system. To perform opera-
tions, simply follow the prompts given by
the system. In Standard Mode, hands-free
operation of Change map view, Route
selection and Bluetooth Audio, etc. is not
available through Voice Recognition.
Alternate Command Mode allows advanced
operations. When this mode is active, an
expanded list of commands can be spoken
after pushing >, and the voice
command menu prompts are turned off.
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.
Otherwise, it is recommended that Alter-
nate Command Mode be turned OFF and
Standard Mode be used for the best recognition performance.
“Alternate command mode”
(page 9-9)
INFO:
.
For U.S. customers, Standard Mode is
selected by default. For Canadian custo-
mers, Alternate Command Mode is the
default mode.
.To improve recognition success when Alter-
nate Command Mode is active, try using the
Speaker Adaptation function available in
that mode.
“Speaker adaptation” (page 9-15)
Otherwise, it is recommended that Alternate
Command Mode be turned OFF and Stan-
dard Mode be used for the best recognition
performance.
.For the voice commands for the audio,
phone and other systems, refer to the
vehicle Owner’s Manual. The following sec-
tions refer only to the navigation, phone and
information systems.
.The voice recognition system cannot be
operated when the retractable hard top is
not closed (for G37 Convertible only).

USING VOICE RECOGNITION SYS-
TEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, Voice Recognition is initia-
lized, which may take up to one minute.
When completed, the system is ready to
accept voice commands. If >is
pushed before the initialization completes,
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”.
Repeat the command in a clear voice.
. Push once to return to the
previous screen.
. To cancel the command, push and hold
>. The message, “Voice can-
celed” will be announced.
. Push >to stop the voice
prompt and give the command at once.
Remember to wait for the tone before
speaking.
. To adjust the volume of the system
feedback, push the volume control
buttons <+> or <−> on the steering wheel
or use the audio system volume control
knob while the system is making an
announcement.
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
to access Phone, Navigation, Informa-
tion, Audio or Help?”.

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.

call to phone number 011-81-111-
222-333
