During a call
During a call there are several command options
available. Push the
button on the steering
wheel to mute the receiving voice and enter
commands.
. “Help” — The system announces the avail-
able commands.
. “Go back/Correction” — The system an-
nounces “Go back,” ends the VR session
and returns to the call.
. “Cancel/Quit” — The system announces
“Cancel,” ends the VR session and returns
to the call.
. “Send/Enter/Call/Dial” — Use the Send
command to enter numbers, “*” or “#”
during a call. For example, if you were
directed to dial an extension by an auto-
mated system:
Say: “Send one two three four.”
The system acknowledges the command
and sends the tones associated with the
numbers. The system then ends the VR
session and returns to the call. Say “star” for
“*”, say “pound” for “#”.
. “Transfer call” — Use the Transfer Call
command to transfer the call from the
Bluetooth
®Hands-Free Phone System to the cellular phone when privacy is desired.
The system announces, “Transfer call. Call
transferred to privacy mode.” The system
then ends the VR session.
To reconnect a call from the cellular phone
to the Bluetooth
®Hands-Free Phone sys-
tem, push thebutton.
. “Mute” — Use the Mute command to mute
your voice so the other party cannot hear it.
Use the mute command again to unmute
your voice.
NOTE:
If a call is ended or the cellular phone
network connection is lost while the Mute
feature is on, the Mute feature will be reset
to “off” for the next call so the other party
can hear your voice.
Phonebook (phones without automatic
phonebook download function)“Transfer Entry”
*A
Use the Transfer Entry command to store a new
name in the system.
When prompted by the system, say the name
you would like to give the new entry.
For example, say: “Mary.”
If the name is too long or too short, the system
tells you, then prompts you for a name again.
Also, if the name sounds too much like a name
already stored, the system tells you, then
prompts you for a name again.
The system will ask you to transfer a phone
number stored in the cellular phone’s memory.
To enter a phone number by voice command:
For example, say: “five five five one two one
two.” See “How to say numbers” earlier in this
section for more information.
To transfer a phone number stored in the cellular
phone’s memory:
Say: “Transfer entry.” The system acknowledges
the command and asks you to initiate the
transfer from the phone handset. The new

by pushing the
button on the steeringwheel. The system ends the VR session.
Phonebook (phones with automatic
phonebook download function)NOTE:
Phonebook commands are not available
when the vehicle is moving.For phones that support automatic download of
the phonebook (PBAP Bluetooth profile) , the
“Phonebook” command is used to manage
entries to the vehicle phonebook. You can say
the name of an entry at this menu to initiate
dialing of that entry.
The phonebook stores up to 1000 names for
each phone paired with the system. Each name
can have up to 4 locations/phone numbers
associated with it.
When a phone is connected to the system, the
phonebook is automatically downloaded to the
vehicle. This feature allows you to access your
phonebook from the Bluetooth
®system and call
contacts by name. You can record a custom
voice tag for contact names that the system has
difficulty recognizing. For more information see
“Record Name” in this section. NOTE:
Each phone has its own separate phone-
book. You cannot access Phone A’s phone-
book if you are currently connected with
Phone B.
“List names”
*A
Use the List Names command to hear all the
names and locations in the phone book.
The system recites the phone book entries but
does not include the actual phone numbers.
When the playback of the list is complete, the
system goes back to the main menu.
You can stop the playback of the list at any time
by pressing the
button on the steering
wheel. The system ends the VR session. See the
“Record Name” command in this section for
information about recording custom voice tags
for list entries that the system has difficulty
pronouncing.
“Record name”

The system allows you to record custom voice
tags for contact names in the phonebook that
the vehicle has difficulty recognizing. This
feature can also be used to record voice tags
to directly dial an entry with multiple numbers.
Up to 40 voice tags can be recorded to the
system.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDEThe system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, try the following solutions.
Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number 1, until the problem is resolved.SymptomSolution
System fails to interpret the command correctly. 1. Ensure that the command is valid. See “LIST OF VOICE COMMANDS” earlier in this section.
2. Ensure that the command is spoken after the tone.
3. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level in the vehicle.
4. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, windows open or defroster on) . NOTE: If it is too
noisy to use the phone, it is likely that the voice commands will not be recognized.
5. If more than one command was said at a time, try saying the commands separately.
6. If the system consistently fails to recognize commands, the voice training procedure should be carried out to
improve the recognition response for the speaker. See “SPEAKER ADAPTATION (SA) MODE” earlier in this
section.
The system consistently selects the wrong entry from
the phonebook. 1. Ensure that the phonebook entry name requested matches what was originally stored. This can be confirmed by
using the “List Names” command. See “Phonebook (phones without automatic phonebook download function)”
earlier in this section.
2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.

NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the Phone, Navigation, Information
and Audio systems in one of two modes,
Standard Mode or Alternate Command Mode.
In Standard Mode, commands that are available
are always shown on the display and announced
by the system. You can complete your desired
operation by simply following the prompts given
by the system. (See “NISSAN VOICE RECOG-
NITION STANDARD MODE” later in this section
for details.)
For advanced operation, you can use the
Alternate Command Mode. (See “NISSAN
VOICE RECOGNITION ALTERNATE COM-
MAND MODE” later in this section for details.)
When this mode is active, an expanded list of
commands can be spoken after pushing the
TALK
switch, and the voice command
menu prompts are turned off. Review the
expanded command list, which is available when
this mode is active. Note that in this mode the
recognition success rate may be affected as the
number of available commands and the ways of
speaking each command are increased.
To switch one mode to another, see each mode
description later in this section.
To improve the recognition success rate when
Alternate Command Mode is active, try using the
Speaker Adaptation Function available in that
mode. Otherwise, it is recommended that Alternate Command Mode be turned off and
Standard Mode be used for the best recognition
performance.
For the voice commands for the navigation
system, refer to the Navigation System Owner’s
Manual of your vehicle.
For Roadster models:
The voice recognition system cannot be oper-
ated when the soft top is not closed.
