USING THE SYSTEM

Initialization

When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initia-
lized, which may take up to one minute. When
completed, the system is ready to accept voice
commands. If the TALK

switch is pushed

before the initialization completes the display will
show the message: “System not ready.” or a
beep sounds.

Before starting

To get the best performance from NISSAN
Voice Recognition, observe the following.

Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible. Close the windows to eliminate the
surrounding noises (traffic noises, vibration
sounds, etc.), which may prevent the system
from recognizing the voice commands cor-
rectly.

When the air conditioner is in the AUTO
mode, the fan speed decreases automati-
cally for easy recognition.

Wait until a tone sounds before speaking a
command.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

The system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, follow the solutions given in this guide for the
appropriate error.

Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number one, until the problem is resolved.

Symptom/error message

Solution

The system fails to interpret the command correctly.

1. Ensure that the command format is valid, see “Command List” (P.4-104).

2. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level.

3. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive, for example, windows open or defrost on.
NOTE:
If it is too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that voice commands will not be recognized.

4. If optional words of the command have been omitted, then the command should be tried with these in place.

The system consistently selects the wrong voicetag in
the phonebook.

1. Ensure that the voicetag requested matches what was originally stored. (See “Bluetooth

hands-free phone

system (models with navigation system)” (P.4-76).)

2. Replace one of the voicetags being confused with a different voicetag.

The system cannot be operated.

1. Make sure that the soft top (for Roadster models) is usable. If the soft top is not working, it is recommended to
contact a NISSAN dealer.

2. Close the soft top (for Roadster models).

3. Open and close the soft top (for Roadster models) before operating the system.
