USING VOICE RECOGNITION SYS-
TEM
Initialization
When the power switch is pushed to the "ON"
position, Voice Recognition is initialized, which
takes a few seconds. When completed, the
system is ready to accept voice commands. If
the
button on the steering wheel is pushed
before the initialization completes, the display
will show the message: "Loading Voice Recog-
nition system. Please wait...".
BEFORE STARTING
To get the best recognition performance from
Voice Recognition, observe the following items.
. The interior of the vehicle should be as quiet
as possible. Close the windows to eliminate
the surrounding noises (traffic noise and
vibration sounds, etc.), which may prevent
the system from correctly recognizing the
voice commands.
. Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a
command.
. Speak in a natural conversational voice
without pausing between words.
GIVING VOICE COMMANDS
1. Push thebutton located on the steering
wheel.
2. A list of commands appears on the screen,
and the system provides the voice menu
prompt.
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 always
shown on the display and spoken through
voice menu prompts. Commands other than
those that are displayed 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 the
button once to return to the
previous screen.
. To cancel the command, push and hold the
button or thebutton on the steering
wheel. The message, “Voice recognition is

back, push the -
+button on the
steering wheel or use the audio system
volume control knob while the system is

How to speak numbers
NISSAN Voice Recognition requires the user to
a certain speak numbers in a certain way 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.)
NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION

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 number 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 operations
that can be performed by voice commands are
described here.
Example 1: Setting destination by
address book
1. Push thebutton located on the steering
wheel.
2. The system announces, "Would you like to access Phone, Navigation, Zero Emission or
CARWINGS?".
3. Speak "Navigation".
4. Speak "Address Book".
5. Voice feedback will be provided when the command is accepted, and the list of
address book is displayed.
6. After the tone sounds and the icon on the screen changes again, speak "Two".

7. Voice feedback will be provided when thecommand is accepted, and the system
starts calculating a route to the selected
location.
Example 2: Placing call to phone
number 800-662-6200
1. Push thebutton located on the steering
wheel.
2. The system announces, "Would you like to access Phone, Navigation, Zero Emission or
CARWINGS?". 3. Speak "Phone".
4. Speak "Dial Number".
5. Speak "800".
6. The system announces, "Please say either
the next three digits, dial, or say change
number". Speak "662".
7. The system announces, "Please say the lastfour digits or say change number". Speak
"6200".
8. The system announces, "Dial or ChangeNumber?". Speak "Dial".

9. The system makes a call to 800-662-6200.
INFO:
. If the area code is not required, speaking
"800-662-6200" (10 continuous digits) or
"662-6200" (7 continuous digits) is accep-
table. However the 3-3-4 digit grouping is
recommended for improved recognition.
“How to speak numbers” (page 8-2)
. The NISSAN voice recognition system is not
limited to recognizing phone numbers of
only 7 or 10 digits. To dial a number in a
format other than the 3-3-4 digit grouping,
use the "International Call" command.
. If "Change Number" is spoken during phone
number entry, the system will automatically
request that the number be repeated using
the 3-3-4 format. In this case please speak
the area code first and then follow the
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.
Example 3: Placing international call
to phone number 011-81-111-222-
333
1. Push thebutton located on the steering
wheel.
2. The system announces, "Would you like to access Phone, Navigation, Zero Emission or
CARWINGS?".
3. Speak "Phone".
4. Speak "International Call".
5. Speak "01181111222333".

objects viewed in the monitor are
closer than they appear. Use the
mirrors or actually look to properly
judge distances to other objects.
The vehicle width and predictive course lines are
wider than the actual width and course.
Front and rear view
Front view
Rear viewGuiding lines, which indicate the vehicle width
and distances to objects with reference to the
vehicle body line
*A, are displayed on the
monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.
. Red line
*1: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
. Yellow line
*2: approx. 3 ft (1 m)
. Green line
*3: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
. Green line
*4: approx. 10 ft (3 m)
Vehicle width guide lines
*5:
Indicate the vehicle width when backing up.
Predictive course lines
*6:
Indicate the predictive course when operating
the vehicle. The predictive course lines will be
displayed on the monitor when the steering wheel is turned. The predictive course lines will
move depending on how much the steering
wheel is turned and will not be displayed while
the steering wheel is in the neutral position.
The front view will not be displayed when the
vehicle speed is above 6 MPH (10 km/h).
WARNING
.
The distance between objects
viewed in the rear view may differ
from the actual distance. Objects in
the rear view will appear visually
opposite from those viewed in the
inside and outside mirrors.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predictive course line and the
actual course line.
. The displayed lines on the rear view
will appear slightly off to the right
because the rear view camera is not
installed in the rear center of the
vehicle.

CAUTION
When the monitor displays the front
view and the steering wheel turns about
90 degrees or less from the neutral
position, both the right and left pre-
dictive course lines
*6are displayed.
When the steering wheel turns about 90
degrees or more, a predictive course
line is displayed only on the opposite
side of the turn.
Bird’s-eye view
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead view of
the vehicle which helps confirm the vehicle
position and the predictive course to a parking
space. The vehicle icon
*1shows the position of the
vehicle. Note that the distance between objects
viewed in the bird’s-eye view differs from the
actual distance.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover
*2are
indicated in black.
After the power switch is placed to ON, the non-
viewable area
*2is highlighted in yellow for 3
seconds after the bird’s-eye view is displayed.
In addition, the non-viewable corners are dis-
played in red (blink for the first 3 seconds)
*3
to remind the drivers to be cautious.
WARNING
. Objects in the bird’s-eye view will
appear further than the actual dis-
tance because the bird’s-eye view is
a pseudo view that is processed by
combining the views from the cam-
eras on the outside mirrors, the
front and the rear of the vehicle.
. Tall objects, such as a curb or
vehicle, may be misaligned or not
displayed at the seam of the views.
. Objects that are above the camera
cannot be displayed. .
The view for the bird’s-eye view may
be misaligned when the camera
position alters.
. A line on the ground may be mis-
aligned and is not seen as being
straight at the seam of the views.
The misalignment will increase as
the line proceeds away from the
vehicle.

Guiding lines that indicate the width and the
front end of the vehicle are displayed on the
