The NISSAN voice recognition system allows you to use the Bluetooth® hands-free phone system.

While the vehicle is moving, some commands are not accessible so that the driver can concentrate on driving.

Initialization

When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON position, the NISSAN voice recognition system initializes within a few seconds. If you press the buttonl'initialisation, le systèmebefore
initialization is complete, the system announces "The hands-free phone system is not ready" and does not respond to voice commands.

Driving tips

Follow these guidelines to optimize the performance of the NISSAN voice recognition system:

  • Keep the cabin as quiet as possible. Close the windows to eliminate ambient noise (traffic noise, vibration, etc.) that may prevent the system from correctly recognizing voice commands.
  • Wait for the tone before speaking a command. Otherwise, the command will not be correctly received.
  • Begin speaking a command within five seconds after the tone.
  • Speak naturally without pausing between words.

Giving Voice Commands

Briefly press the buttonpour utiliser le système de reconnaissanceon the steering wheel
to use the NISSAN voice recognition system. Speak a command after the tone.

The spoken command is picked up by the microphone, and a voice response is given when the command is accepted.

  • If you want to hear the commands of 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 given exactly as the system requires, and repeat the command in a clear voice.
  • To return to the previous command, you can say "Back" or "Correction" at any time when the system is waiting for a response.
  • You can cancel a command when the system is waiting for a response by saying "Cancel" or "Exit". The system announces "Cancelled" and ends the voice recognition session. You can also press and hold the buttonvolant et le maintenir enfoncé pendant cinqon the
    steering wheel for five seconds at any time to end the voice recognition session. When the voice recognition session is cancelled, a double beep sounds to indicate that you have exited the system.
  • To adjust the volume of system messages, press the volume control buttons (+ or -) on the steering wheel when the system is giving a message. You can also use the radio volume knob.
  • In most cases, you can interrupt voice guidance to speak the next command by pressing the buttonVous pouvez accéder au système plus rapidementon the steering wheel.

  • You can access the system more quickly by using second-level commands through the main menu command. For example, press the buttonaprès la tonalité, dites and
    after the tone, say "Redial".

    • Numbers

    Numbers must be spoken in a certain way for the NISSAN voice recognition system to recognize them. See the following rules and examples.

    • You can say "zero" or "oh" 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 four digits only.

    Example: 1 800 662-6200

    • "One eight hundred six six two six two zero zero".
    • NOT "one, eight hundred, six six two, six thousand two hundred".
    • NOT "one, eight zero zero, six six two, six thousand two hundred".
    • Numbers can be spoken in small groups. The system prompts you to continue entering numbers, if necessary.

    Example: 1 800 662-6200

    • "One eight zero zero".

    The system repeats the numbers and prompts you to enter more.

    • "Six six two".

    The system repeats the numbers and prompts you to enter more.

    • "Six two zero zero".
    • Say "Pound" for "#". Say "Star" for "*" (this option is available when using the "Special Number" and "Send" commands during a call).
    See the "Voice Command List" and "Special Number" sections in this chapter for more information.

    Example: 1 555 1212 *123

    • "One five five five one two one two star one two three".
    • Say "Plus" for "+" (this command is only available when using the "Special Number" command).
    • Say "Pause" to insert a two-second pause; this option is only available when you are storing a phone number.

    NOTE:

    For best results, speak phone numbers one digit at a time.

    The "Help" voice command is available at all times. Use the "Help" voice command to get information on using the system.

    Interrupting Voice Messages

    In most cases, you can interrupt voice guidance to speak the next command by pressing the buttondu
    on the steering wheel. After interrupting the system, wait for a beep before speaking your command.

    Direct Dialing

    You can access the system more quickly by using second-level commands through the main menu command. For example, press the buttonditesand after the tone,
    say "Redial".
