NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free operation of the navigation system and other systems equipped on this vehicle, such as the phone, vehicle information and audio. NISSAN Voice Recognition can be used in one of two selectable modes, Standard Mode or Alternate Command Mode. In Standard Mode, the commands that are available are always shown on the display and announced by the system. To perform operations, simply follow the prompts given by the system. For advanced operation, change to Alternate Command Mode. When this mode is active, an expanded list of commands can be spoken after pushing on the steering wheel switch and the voice command menu prompts are turned off. Note that in this mode the recognition success rate may be affected because the number of available commands and ways of speaking each command are increased. Otherwise, it is recommended that Alternate Command Mode be turned to OFF and Standard Mode be used for the best recognition performance. For U.S. customers, Standard Mode is selected by default. For Canadian customers, Alternate Command Mode is the default mode. Otherwise, it is recommended that Alternate Getting started 2-25 Command Mode be turned to OFF and Standard Mode be used for the best recognition performance. INFO: .
