“Steering wheel switch” (page 2-3) NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the navigation system and other
systems equipped on this vehicle, such as the
phone, vehicle information and audio. NISSAN
Voice Recognition can be used in one of two se-
lectable modes, Standard Mode (default) or Al-
ternate Command Mode.
“9. Voice recognition”
In Standard Mode, the commands that are avail-
able are always shown on the display and an-
nounced by the system. To perform operations,
simply follow the prompts given by the system.
For advanced operation, change to Alternate
Command Mode. 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 Alternate
Command Mode be turned to OFF and Stan-
dard Mode be used for the best recognition
performance.

out pausing between words.
