The NISSAN Voice Recognition system allows
hands-free operation of the systems equipped on
this vehicle, such as the phone and navigation
systems.
To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition, press
the
button located on the steering wheel.
Then speak the command for the system you
wish to activate. The command given is picked up
by the microphone, and it is performed when it is
properly recognized. At this time NISSAN Voice
Recognition will provide a voice and message (in
the center display) to inform you of the command
results.
USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
NISSAN Voice Recognition is initialized, which
takes a few seconds. When completed, the sys-
tem is ready to accept voice commands. If
the
button is pressed before the initializa-
tion completes, the display will show the mes-
sage: “Phonetic data downloaded. Please wait.”
Giving voice commands
1. Press thebutton.
2. The system announces: “Please say a com-
mand”
3. After the tone sounds and the face icon of
the display changes, speak a command. For
additional information, see “List of voice
commands” later in this section.
4. Voice and message feedback will be pro-
vided when the command is accepted.
cIf the command is not recognized, the sys-
tem announces: “Please say again.” Repeat
the command in a clear voice.cIf you want to cancel the command, press
and hold the
button for 2 seconds
during feedback. The system will announce:
“Voice input is canceled”
cIf you want to adjust the volume of the voice
feedback, press the volume control buttons
(2or +) on the steering wheel while being
provided with the feedback.
Operating tips
To get the best performance out of NISSAN
Voice Recognition, observe the following:
cKeep 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.
cWait until a tone sounds before speaking a
command. Otherwise, the command will not
be received properly.
cStart speaking a command within 3.5 sec-
onds after the tone sounds.
cSpeak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.
