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.

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, recognized. Please try again.” Repeat the command in a clear voice.

“Command not

● If you want to go back to the previous com- mand, you can say “Go back” or “Correc- tion” any time the system is waiting for a response.

● You can cancel a command when the sys- tem is waiting for a response by saying, “Cancel” or “Quit.” The system announces “Cancel” and ends the VR session. You can button on the also press and hold the steering wheel for 5 seconds at any time to end the VR session. Whenever the VR ses- sion 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 volume control knob.

● In most cases you can interrupt the voice feedback to speak the next command by button on the steering pressing the wheel.

● To use the system faster, you may speak the second level commands with the main menu command on the main menu. For example, button and after the tone press the say, “Call Redial.”

NOTE: The combined command of Call and (a Name) cannot be used. How to say numbers NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a certain way to speak numbers in voice commands. Refer to the following rules and examples. ● 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”

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems 4-119

● 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”

● Numbers can be spoken in small groups. The system will prompt you to continue en- tering digits, if desired. 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 “*” (avail- able when using the “Special Number” com- mand and the “Send” command during a call). See “List of voice commands” and “Special number” in this section for more information. Example: 1-555-1212 *123
– “One five five five one two one two star

one two three”

● Say “plus” for “+” (available only when using

the “Special Number” command).

● Say “pause” for a 2-second pause (available

only when storing a phone book number).

NOTE: For best results, say phone numbers as single digits. The voice command “Help” is available at any time. Please use the “Help” command to get information on how to use the system.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE The system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are en- countered, try the following solutions. Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number 1, until the problem is resolved.

Symptom

System fails to interpret the command correctly.

The system consistently selects the wrong entry from the phone book.

Solution 1. Ensure that the command is valid. See “List of voice commands” in this section. 2. Ensure that the command is spoken after the tone. 3. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level in the vehicle. 4. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, windows open or defroster on). NOTE: If it is too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that the voice commands will not be recognized. 5. If more than one command was said at a time, try saying the commands separately. 6. If the system consistently fails to recognize commands, the voice training procedure should be carried out to im- prove the recognition response for the speaker. See “Voice Adaptation (VA) mode” in this section. 1. Ensure that the phone book entry name requested matches what was originally stored. This can be confirmed by using the “List Names” command. See “Phonebook” in this section. 2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.

NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEM (if so equipped)

NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free operation of the systems equipped on this ve- hicle, such as phone and vehicle information. There are two voice recognition modes of opera- tion available. They are: ● Standard Mode ● Alternate Command Mode In Standard Mode (the factory default setting), 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. Not all NISSAN Voice Recognition options are available while in Standard Mode. For advanced operation, you can change to an Alternate Command Mode that enables the op- eration of the display, audio, and climate control through NISSAN Voice Recognition. When this mode is active, an expanded list of commands can be spoken after pushing the TALK switch on the steering wheel, and the voice com- mand menu prompts are turned off. In Alternate Command Mode the recognition success rate may be affected because the num- ber of available commands and the ways of speaking each command are increased. See “NISSAN Voice Recognition Alternate Com- mand Mode” in this section.

CALL VOLUME Adjusting the incoming or outgoing call volume may improve clarity if reception between callers is unclear. ● Incoming call — adjusting this setting allows

you to hear a difference in volume.

● Outgoing call — adjusting this setting allows the person you are talking with to hear a difference in volume.

NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION STANDARD MODE The Standard Mode enables control of naviga- tion, phone and vehicle information. With this setting active, commands that are available are always shown on the display and announced by the system. Displaying user guide If you use the NISSAN Voice Recognition system for the first time or you do not know how to operate it, you can display the User Guide for confirmation. You can confirm how to use voice commands by accessing a simplified User Guide, which con- tains basic instructions and tutorials for several voice commands.

To improve the recognition success rate when Alternate Command Mode is active, try using the Speaker Adaptation Function available in that mode. See “Speaker Adaptation Function” in this section. Otherwise, it is recommended that Alter- nate Command Mode be turned off and Standard Mode be used for the best recognition perfor- mance. While using the NISSAN Voice Recognition sys- tem for certain Phone and Navigation features, you can switch to using manual controls (touch- screen, NISSAN controller, steering wheel con- trols) and the information you have already en- tered by voice control will be retained. To switch to manual controls, select the “Manual Controls” key on the display when it appears. The system will respond by speaking “Changing to manual operation. Please use manual controls to con- tinue.” For the voice commands for the navigation sys- tem, refer to the Navigation System Owner’s Manual of your vehicle. For vehicles in the U.S., the factory default setting is the Standard Mode. See “Standard Mode” in this section. For vehicles in Canada, the factory default setting is the Alternate Command Mode.
