USING THE SYSTEM

The NISSAN Voice Recognition system allows
hands-free operation of the Bluetooth® Phone
System.

If the vehicle is in motion, some commands may
not be available so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.

Initialization

When the power switch is placed in the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initialized,
which takes a few seconds. If the

button is

pressed before the initialization completes, the
system will announce “Hands-free phone system
not ready” and will not react to voice commands.

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 sur-
rounding

noises

(traffic

noises,

vibration

sounds, etc.), which may prevent the system
from recognizing voice commands correctly.

• Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a

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 be-

tween 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.”Make sure the command is said ex-
actly as prompted by the system and repeat the
command in a clear voice.

• If you want to go back to the previous command,

you can say “Go back” or “Correction” any time
the system is waiting for a response.

• You can cancel a command when the system is

waiting for a response by saying, “Cancel” or
“Quit.” The system announces “Cancel” and
ends the VR session. You can also press and
hold the

button on the steering wheel for

5 seconds at any time to end the VR session.
Whenever the VR session is cancelled, a
double beep is played to indicate you have
exited the system.

• If you want to adjust the volume of the voice

feedback, press the volume control switches (+
or -) on the steering wheel while being provided
with feedback. You can also use the radio vol-
ume control knob.

• In most cases you can interrupt the voice feed-

back to speak the next command by pressing
the

button on the steering wheel.

• To use the system faster, you may speak the

second level commands with the main menu
command on the main menu. For example,
press the

button and after the tone say,

“Call Redial.”
