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 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 between words. ● 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 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 push the button on the steering wheel at any time. 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, push the volume control switches (+ or -) on the steering wheel while being provided with feedback. You can also use the radio volume control knob. How to say numbers NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a certain way to speak numbers in voice commands. Refer to the rules and examples below. ● 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 zero zero 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 "One eight oh oh six six two sixty two hundred. Giving voice commands To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition, push and release the button located on the steering wheel. The light on the overhead console flashes to signal you have entered a voice recognition (VR) session. After the tone sounds, speak a command. The command given is picked up by the microphone, and voice feedback is given when the command is accepted. Display screen, heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems 4-37
