mended phone list and connecting in-
structions.
∙ You will not be able to use a hands-free phone under the following conditions:
– Your vehicle is outside of the cellular service area.
– Your vehicle is in an area where it is difficult to receive a cellular signal;
such as in a tunnel, in an under-
ground parking garage, near a tall
building or in a mountainous area.
– Your cellular phone is locked to pre- vent it from being dialed.
∙ When the radio wave condition is not ideal or ambient sound is too loud, it
may be difficult to hear the other per-
son’s voice during a call.
∙ Do not place the cellular phone in an area surrounded by metal or far away

nection, the battery power of the cellu-
lar phone may discharge quicker than
usual. The Bluetooth® Hands-Free
Phone System cannot charge cellular

∙ Some cellular phones or other devices may cause interference or a buzzing
noise to come from the audio system
speakers. Storing the device in a differ-
ent location may reduce or eliminate
the noise.

USING THE SYSTEM
The system allows hands-free operation of
the Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System.
If the vehicle is in motion, some commands
may not be available so full attention may
be given to vehicle operation.
Initialization
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initial-
ized, which takes a few seconds. If
the
button is pressed before the ini-
tialization completes, the system will an-
nounce “There is no phone connected” and
will not react to voice commands.
Operating tips
To get the best performance out of the
NISSAN Voice Recognition System, observe
the following:
∙ Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as possible. Keep all vents pointed away
from the microphone and close the
windows to eliminate surrounding
noises (traffic noises, vibration sounds,
etc.), which may prevent the system
from recognizing voice commands cor-
rectly. ∙ Wait until the tone sounds before
speaking a command. Otherwise, the
command will not be received properly.
∙ Start speaking a command within 5 seconds af ter the tone sounds.
∙ Speak in a natural voice without paus- ing between words.
∙ For calling contacts by name, please say both the first and last name of the
contact for better recognition.
Giving voice commands
To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition,
press the
button located on the
steering wheel for more than 1.5 seconds.
Af ter the tone sounds, speak a command.
The command given is picked up by the
microphone, and voice feedback is given
when the command is accepted.
∙ If a command is not recognized, the system announces, “Please say or se-
lect a command from the displayed list.”
Make sure the command is said exactly
as prompted by the system and repeat
the command in a clear voice. ∙ If you want to go back to the previous
command, you can say “Go back” or
“Correction” any time the system is
waiting for a response.
∙ You can cancel a command when the system is waiting for a response by say-
ing, “Cancel” or “Quit.” The system an-
nounces “Exit” and ends the Voice Rec-
ognition session. You can also press
and hold the
button on the steer-
ing wheel for 1.5 seconds at any time to
end the Voice Recognition session.
Whenever the Voice Recognition ses-
sion is canceled, a double beep is
played to indicate you have exited the
system.
∙ If you want to adjust the volume of the voice feedback, push the (+ or -) volume
control switches on the steering wheel
while being provided with feedback. You
can also use the radio volume control
knob.
Voice Prompt Interrupt
In most cases you can interrupt the voice
feedback to speak the next command by
pressing the
