How to speak numbers
NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a certain
way to speak numbers 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. 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 saying the phone number in 3 groups of
numbers. For example, to call 800-662-6200,
say “Eight Zero Zero” first, and the system will
then ask to speak the next three digits. Then, say
“Six Six Two”. After recognition, the system will
then ask to speak the last 4 digits. Say, “Six Two
Zero Zero”. Using this method of phone digit
entry can improve recognition performance.
INFO:
For best recognition, speak “zero” for the
number “0” and “oh” for the letter “o”.

Refer to the vehicle Owner’s Manual for the

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: Placing a call to the phone
number 800-662-6200
1. Push located on the steering
wheel switch.
2. The system announces, “Would you like to
access Phone, Navigation, Information,
Audio or Help?”. 3. Speak “Phone”.
4. Speak “Dial Number”.
5. Speak “800”.
6. The system announces, “Please say next
three digits or dial, or say change number”.
Speak “662”.
7. The system announces, “Please say last fourdigits 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:
. Speaking “800-662-6200” (10 continuous
digits) or “662-6200” (7 continuous digits)
is acceptable, if the area code is not
necessary. However the 3-3-4 digit group-
ing is recommended for improved recogni-
tion.
“How to speak numbers” (page 9-20)
. 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 say 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 2: Placing an international call
to the phone number 011-81-111-222-
3333
1. Push located on the steering
wheel switch.
2. The system announces, “Would you like to access Phone, Navigation, Information,
Audio or Help?”.
3. Speak “Phone”.
4. Speak “International Call”.
5. Speak “01181111222333”.
