NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEM (models with navigation system)

NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free operation of the Phone, Navigation, Information and Audio systems 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.)

For advanced operation, you can use the Alternate Command Mode. (See "NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION ALTERNATE COM- MAND 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. Review the expanded command list, which is available when this mode is active. 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.

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.

Giving voice commands

1. Push the TALK switch located on the steering wheel.

SAA2535

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

Center display, heater, air conditioner, audio, phone and voice recognition systems 4-101

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)"
