InitializationWhen the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initia-
lized, which takes a few seconds. When
completed, the system is ready to accept voice
commands. If the TALK
switch is pushed
before the initialization completes the display will
show the message: “Phonetic data downloaded.
Please wait.” or a beep sounds.
Before startingTo get the best performance from NISSAN
Voice Recognition, observe the following:
.Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible. Close the windows to eliminate the
surrounding noises (traffic noises, vibration
sounds, etc.) , which may prevent the system
from recognizing the voice commands cor-
rectly.
.When the climate control is in the AUTO
mode, the fan speed decreases automati-
cally for easy recognition.
.Wait until a tone sounds before speaking a
command.
.Speak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.

How to speak numbersNISSAN 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 you would like to say 500, “five zero
zero” can be used, but “five hundred” cannot.)
Phone numbers:
Speak phone numbers according to the follow-
ing examples:
.1-800-662-6200— “Dial one eight zero zero six six two zero
zero.”
Note 1: For the best voice recognition phone
dialing results, say phone numbers as single
digits.
Note 2: You cannot say 555-6000 as “five five
five six thousands”.
Note 3: When speaking a house number, speak
the number “0” as “ zero”. If the letter “o ( Oh)” is
included in the house number, it will not be
recognized as the number “0 (zero)” even if you
speak “oh” instead of “ zero”. You can only say
“zero” for “0 ( Zero)”. You can say either “zero”
or “oh” for “o (Oh)”.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDEThe system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, follow the solutions given in this guide for the
appropriate error.
Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number one, until the problem is resolved.
Symptom/error message Solution
Displays “COMMAND NOT RECOGNIZED” or the
system fails to interpret the command correctly.1. Ensure that the command format is valid, see “Command List” earlier in this section.
2. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level.
3. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive, for example, windows open or defrost on.
NOTE:If it is too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that voice commands will not be recognized.
4. If optional words of the command have been omitted, then the command should be tried with these in place.
The system consistently selects the wrong voicetag in
the phonebook.1. Ensure that the voicetag requested matches what was originally stored. (See “BLUETOOTH
®HANDS-FREE
PHONE SYSTEM WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM” earlier in this section; page 4-75.)
2. Replace one of the voicetags being confused with a different voicetag.
