Using the system
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initialized, which may take up to one minute. 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: “System not ready.” or a beep sounds.
Before starting
To get the best recognition performance from NISSAN Voice Recognition, observe the following:
• 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.
Giving voice commands
1. Push the TALK switch located on the steering wheel.
2. A list of commands appears on the screen,
and the system announces, “Would you like
to access Phone, Navigation, Information,
Audio or Help?”.
3. After the tone sounds and the icon on the
screen changes from to
, speak a
command.
Selecting the “Practice” key will start the practice mode. See “Let’s Practice” earlier in this section.
4. Continue to follow the voice menu prompts and speak after the tone sounds until your desired operation is completed.
Selecting the “Help” key can display the detailed information of the each command.
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 BACK button once to return to the
previous screen.
• To exit the voice recognition system, push
and hold the TALK switch. The
message,
“Voice canceled” will be announced.
• To skip the voice guidance function and
give
the command immediately, press the TALK
switch to interrupt the system. Remember
to speak after the tone.
• 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”. Please speak “zero” for the number “0 (zero)”, “oh” for the letter “o (oh)”.
Send digits using dial tone:
• Press the TALK switch during a phone
call.
• The menu will be launched and you will be
provided with the following guidance:
"Please say the digits to dial".
• After guidance, say the digits of the
number
you want to send. After this, the digits that
have been recognized will be read out.
• If you press the ENTER button on the
steering wheel or on the multifunction
controller, the selected digits will be sent.

Voice command examples
To use the NISSAN 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 by voice commands are described here.
For navigation system commands, see the separate Navigation System Owner’s Manual.
Example 1 - Placing a call to the phone number 800-662-6200:
1. Push the TALK switch located on the steering wheel.
2. The system announces, “Would you like to
access Phone, Navigation, Information,
Audio or Help?”
3. Speak “Phone”.
4. Speak “Dial Number”.
5. Speak “8 0 0”.
Selecting the “Manual Controls” key switches the screen to the keypad to input the phone number manually.
6. The system announces, “Please say the next
three digits or dial, or say change number.”
7. Speak “6 6 2”.
8. The system announces, “Please say the last
four digits” or say change number.
9. Speak “6 2 0 0”.
10. The system announces, “Dial or Change
Number?”
11. Speak “Dial”.
12. The system makes a call to 800-662-6200.
NOTE:
• You can also speak “800-662-6200”
(10
continuous digits) or “662-6200” (7
continuous digits), if the area code is
not necessary. However, the 3-3-4 digit
grouping is recommended for improved
recognition. (See “Giving voice
commands” 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
command using a natural voice. Speaking
too slow 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 the TALK switch located on the steering wheel.
2. The system announces, “Would you like to
access Phone, Navigation, Information or
Help?”
3. Speak “Phone”.
4. Speak “International Call”.
5. Speak “011811112223333”.
6. Speak “Dial”.
7. System makes a call to 011-81-111-222-
3333.
NOTE:
Any digit input format is available in the
International Number input process.
