NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the systems equipped on this
vehicle in one of two modes, Standard Mode
or Alternate Command Mode.
In Standard Mode, commands that are available
are always shown on the display and announced
by the system. You can complete your desired
operation by simply following the prompts given
by the system. (See “NISSAN VOICE RECOG-
NITION STANDARD MODE” later in this section
for details.) In this mode, hands-free operation of
Audio, Air Conditioner and Display is not
available through NISSAN Voice Recognition.
For advanced operation, you can use the
Alternate Command Mode that enables the
operation of the display, audio, and air condi-
tioner through NISSAN Voice Recognition. (See
“NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION ALTERNATE
COMMAND MODE” later in this section for
details.) When this mode is active, an expanded
list of commands can be spoken after pushing
the TALK
switch, and the voice command
menu prompts are turned off. Note that in this
mode the recognition success rate may be
affected as the number of available commands
and the ways of speaking each command are
increased.
For U.S. customers, the Standard Mode is
selected by default. For Canadian customers,
the Alternate Command Mode is the default
mode. To switch one mode to another, see each mode description later in this section.
To improve the recognition success rate when
Alternate Command Mode is active, try using the
Speaker Adaptation Function available in that
mode. Otherwise, it is recommended that
Alternate Command Mode be turned off and
Standard Mode be used for the best recognition
performance.
For the voice commands for the navigation
system, refer to the Navigation System Owner’s
Manual of your vehicle.
NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION
STANDARD MODEThe following section is applicable when the
Standard Mode is activated. (This mode is

The Standard Mode enables you to complete
the desired operation by simply following the
prompts that appear on the display and also are
announced by the system. Hands-free operation
of Audio, Air Conditioner and Display systems is
not available in this mode.

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 down-
loaded. Please wait.” or a beep sounds.
Before startingTo get the best recognition performance from
NISSAN Voice Recognition, observe the follow-
ing:
. 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.
. 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 your
commands can be recognized more easily.

Help?”.
3. After the tone sounds and the icon on the screen changes from

, speak a
command.
4. Continue to follow the voice menu prompts and speak after the tone sounds until your
desired operation is completed.
Operating tips:
. Say a command after the tone.
. Commands that are available are always shown on the display and spoken through
voice menu prompts. Commands other than
those that are displayed are not accepted.
Please follow the prompts given by the
system.
. If the command is not recognized, the
system announces, “Please say again”.
Repeat the command in a clear voice.
. Push the BACKbutton once to return to the
previous screen.
. If you want to cancel the command, push
and hold the TALK
switch. The
message, “Voice cancelled” will be an-
nounced.
. Push the TALK
switch to pause the
operation. Push the TALK
switch again
to restart the operation.
. If you want to adjust the volume of the
system feedback, push the volume control
buttons [+] or [ ] on the steering switch or
use the audio system volume knob while the
system is making an announcement.
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 you would like to say 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
You can improve the recognition of phone
numbers by saying the phone number in three
groups of numbers. For example, when you try to
call 800-662-6200, say “eight zero zero” first,
and the system will then ask you for the next
three digits. Then, say “six six two”. After
recognition, the system will then ask for the last
four digits. Say, “six two zero zero”. Using this
method of phone digit entry can improve
recognition performance.
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)”.

Note:
. You can also speak “800-662-6200” (10
continuous digits) or “662-6200” (7 con-
tinuous digits) , if the area code is not
necessary. However, the 3-3-4 digit group-
ing is recommended for improved recogni-
tion. (See “How to speak numbers” earlier in
this section.) .
You can only say a phone number using the
3-3-4 grouping, 7 digits, and 10 digits using
this command. Please use the “International
Call” command for all other formats.
. If you say “Change Number” during phone
number entry, the system will automatically
request that you repeat the number 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 your
command, please try repeating the com-
mand using a natural voice. Speaking too
slow or too loudly may further decrease
recognition performance.
