STARTING THE SYSTEM NAVIGATION SYSTEM STATUS
SCREEN

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
selectable modes, Standard Mode or Alternate
Command Mode.
In Standard Mode, the commands that are
available are always shown on the display and
announced by the system. To perform opera-
tions, 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 >on the steering wheel
switch 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 Standard Mode be used for the best
recognition performance.
For U.S. customers, Standard Mode is selected
by default. For Canadian customers, Alternate
Command Mode is the default mode.
Otherwise, it is recommended that Alternate Command Mode be turned to OFF and Stan-
dard Mode be used for the best recognition
performance.
INFO:
. For voice recognition system operation
related to the phone, audio or vehicle
information systems, refer to the Owner’s
Manual of your vehicle.
. When the system language is set to
“Franc¸ ais” (French) or “Espan ˜
ol” (Spanish) ,
the available commands and functions may
differ from those that are available when
using the system in English.

11-4Troubleshooting guide
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations differ
between Plan View and Birdview
TM. This is because the quantity of the displayed information is reduced so
that the screen does not become too crowded. There is also a chance
that names of the roads or locations may be displayed multiple times,
and the names appearing on the screen may be different because of a
processing procedure. This is not a malfunction.
The vehicle icon is not displayed in
the correct position. The vehicle was transported after the ignition switch was pushed off,
for example, by a ferry or car transporter. Drive the vehicle for a while on a road where
GPS signals can be received.
The position and direction of the vehicle icon may be incorrect
depending on the driving environments and the levels of positioning
accuracy of the navigation system. This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehicle for a
while to automatically correct the position and
direction of the vehicle icon.
“Current vehicle location” (page 10-3)
When the vehicle is traveling on a
new road, the vehicle icon is located
on another road nearby. Because the new road is not stored in the map data, the system
automatically places the vehicle icon on the nearest road available.
Updated road information will be included in the
next version of the map data.
The screen does not switch to the
night screen even after turning on the
headlights. The daytime screen was set the last time the headlights were turned
on.
Set the screen to the night screen mode using

when turning on the head-
lights.
