language NISSAN MAXIMA 2014 A35 / 7.G 08IT Navigation Manual

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.
USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initia-
lized, which may take up to one minute. When
completed, the system is ready to accept voice
commands. If >is pushed before the
initialization completes, the display will show the
message: “System not ready.”
BEFORE STARTING
To get the best recognition performance from
NISSAN Voice Recognition, observe the follow-
ing points:
. 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.
. The voice recognition system cannot be
operated when the soft top is not closed (for
Roadster and CrossCabriolet models).
. Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a
command.
. Speak in a natural conversational voice
without pausing between words.
. If the air conditioner is set to “Auto”, the fan
speed is automatically lowered so that voice
commands can be recognized more easily.
GIVING VOICE COMMANDS
The method of giving a voice command in
Standard Mode is described in this section.

— If it is impossible to reach the destinationor waypoints because of traffic regula-
tions, etc.
— If the only route to reach the destination or waypoints is extremely complicated.
— If the destination, current vehicle position or waypoint is within the “Avoid Area”.
— If a part of the route is included in the “Avoid Area”.
. The following may occur when the route is
displayed.
— If you calculate a route on a main road,
the starting point of the route may not
exactly match the current vehicle loca-
tion.
— The endpoint of the route may not exactly match the destination.
— If you calculate a route on a main road, the system may display a route from
another main road. This may be because
the position of the vehicle icon is not
accurate. In this case, park the vehicle in
a safe location and reset the vehicle icon,
or continue driving to see if the position
of the vehicle icon is automatically
adjusted before recalculating the route. — There are cases in which the system
shows an indirect route to reach the
destination or waypoints, if you set them
from stored or facility information. In
order to correct this, you must be careful
about the traffic direction, especially
when lanes with different travel directions
are shown separately, such as inter-
changes and service areas.
— This system makes no distinction be- tween limited traffic control and total
control (blockage) . It may show an
indirect route even if the road is usable.
— Even if the freeway preference is set to OFF, a route that uses the freeway may
be suggested.
— Even if the ferry preference is set to OFF, a route that uses a ferry line may be
suggested.
— Ferry lines, excluding those that are only for pedestrians, bicycles and motor-
cycles, are stored in this system. Take
into consideration the travel time required
and operational condition before decid-
ing whether to use them or not.INFO:
The system will only announce street names
when the system language is set to English.
Street names are not announced when the
system is set to Franc¸ ais (French).
BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCE
Voice guidance announces which direction to
turn when approaching an intersection in which
a turn is necessary.
NOTE:
. There may be some cases in which
voice guidance and actual road condi-
tions do not correspond. This may
occur because of discrepancies be-
tween the actual road and the informa-
tion on the map data, or it is due to the
vehicle’s speed.
. In case voice guidance does not corre-
spond to the actual road conditions,
follow the information obtained from
traffic signs or notices on the road.
. Route guidance provided by the navi-
gation system does not take carpool
lane driving into consideration, espe-
cially when carpool lanes are separated
from other road lanes.
