Operating tips
To get the best performance out of the NISSAN
Voice Recognition system, observe the following:
Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible. Close the windows to eliminate
surrounding noises (traffic noises, vibration
sounds, etc.), which may prevent the system
from recognizing voice commands correctly.
Wait until the tone sounds before speakinga
command. Otherwise, the command will not
be received properly.
Start speaking a command within 5 seconds
after the tone sounds.
Speak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.
Giving voice commands
To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition, press
and release the
button located on the
steering wheel. After the tone sounds, speak a
command.
The command given is picked up by the micro-
phone, and voice feedback is given when the
command is accepted.
If you need to hear the available commands
for the current menu again, say “Help” and
the system will repeat them.
If a command is not recognized, the system
announces, “Command not recognized.
Please try again.” Repeat the command in a
clear voice.
If you want to go back to the previous com-
mand, you can say “Go back” or “Correc-
tion” any time the system is waiting for a
response.
You can cancel a command when the sys-
tem is waiting for a response by saying,
“Cancel” or “Quit.” The system announces
“Cancel” and ends the VR session. You can
also press the
button on the steering
wheel at any time. Whenever the VR session
is cancelled, a double beep sounds to indi-
cate you have exited the system.
If you want to adjust the volume of the voice
feedback, press the volumecontrol switches
(+ or -) on the steering wheel while being
provided with feedback. You can also use
the radio volume control knob.
In most cases you can interrupt the voice
feedback to speak the next command by
pressing the
button on the steering
wheel.
To speed the operation you can say multiple
commands. For example, press the
button then say “Phonebook, New entry”
rather than “Phonebook.” Wait for the voice
feedback prompt then say “New entry”.
How to say numbers
NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a certain
way to speak numbers in voice commands. Refer
to the following rules and examples.
Either “zero” or “oh” can be used for “0”.
Example: 1-800-662-6200
“One eight oh oh six six two six two oh
oh”, or
“One eight zerozero six six two six two oh
oh”
Words can be used for the first 4 digits
places only.
Example: 1-800-662-6200
“One eight hundred six six two six two oh
oh”,
NOT “One eight hundred six six two sixty
two hundred, and
NOT “Oneeight oh oh six sixtwo sixty two
hundred.
