TERNATE COMMAND MODE

The following section is applicable when Alter-
nate Command Mode is activated.

When Alternate Command Mode is activated,
an expanded list of commands can be used after
pressing the TALK

switch. In this mode,

available commands are not fully shown on the
display or prompted. Review the expanded
command list when this mode is active. See
examples of Alternate Command Mode screens.

Please note that in this mode the recognition
success rate may be affected as the number of
available commands and ways of speaking each
command are increased. To improve the recog-
nition success rate, try using the Speaker
Adaptation Function available in that mode.
(See “Speaker adaptation function (for Alternate
Command Mode)” (P.4-176).) Otherwise it is
recommended that Alternate Command Mode
be turned OFF and Standard Mode be used for
the best recognition performance.

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.

. Speak in a natural voice without pausing

between words.

How to speak numbers:

NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a certain
way to speak numbers when giving voice
commands. Refer to the following examples.

General rule

Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 can be used. (For
example, if you would like to say 500, “five zero
zero” can be used, but “five hundred” cannot.

Phone numbers

Speak phone numbers according to the follow-
ing examples:
. 1-800-662-6200

4-175

4-176

Monitor, heater, air conditioner, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

— “Dial one eight zero zero six six two six

two zero zero.”

Note 1: For the best voice recognition phone
dialing results, say phone numbers as single
digits.

Note 2: You cannot say 555-6000 as “five five
five six thousands”.

Note 3: When speaking a house number, speak
the number “0” as “ zero”. If the letter “o ( Oh)” is
included in the house number, it will not be
recognized as the number “0 (zero)” even if you
speak “oh” instead of “ zero”. Please speak
“zero” for the number “0 (zero)”, “oh” for the
letter “o (oh)”.

Send digits using dial tone:
. Press the TALK

switch during a phone

call.

steering wheel or on the multi-function
controller, the selected digits will be sent.

Symptom/error message

Solution

The system fails to interpret the command correctly.

1. Ensure that the command format is valid, see “Command List” (P.4-168).

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 (Type A)” (P.4-122).)

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