Nissan Xterra (2015 year). Instruction

● You will not be able to use a hands-free

phone under the following conditions:

– Your vehicle is outside of the cellular ser-

vice area.

– Your vehicle is in an area where it is

difficult to receive a cellular signal; such
as in a tunnel, in an underground parking
garage, near a tall building or in a moun-
tainous area.

– Your cellular phone is locked to prevent it

from being dialed.

● When the radio wave condition is not ideal

or ambient sound is too loud, it may be
difficult to hear the other person’s voice dur-
ing a call.

● Do not place the cellular phone in an area

surrounded by metal or far away from the
in-vehicle phone module to prevent tone
quality degradation and wireless connection
disruption.

● While a cellular phone is connected through

the Bluetooth® wireless connection, the
battery power of the cellular phone may dis-
charge quicker than usual. The Bluetooth®
Hands-Free Phone System cannot charge
cellular phones.

● If the hands-free phone system seems to be

malfunctioning, refer to “Troubleshooting
guide” in this section. You can also visit
www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth for trouble-
shooting help.

● Some cellular phones or other devices may

cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers. Stor-
ing the device in a different location may
reduce or eliminate the noise.

● Refer to the cellular phone Owner’s Manual

regarding the telephone charges, cellular
phone antenna and body, etc.

USING THE SYSTEM

The NISSAN Voice Recognition system allows
hands-free operation of the Bluetooth® Hands-
Free Phone System.

If the vehicle is in motion, some commands may
not be available so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.

Initialization

When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initialized,
which takes a few seconds. If the

button is

pressed before the initialization completes, the
system will announce “Hands-free phone system
not ready” and will not react to voice commands.

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, “Command not recognized.
Please try again.” Make sure the command is
said exactly as prompted by the system and
repeat the command in a clear voice.

● 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 Voice Recognition
session. You can also press and hold
the

button on the steering wheel for

5 seconds at any time to end the VR session.
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, 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
pressing the

button on the steering

wheel.

● To use the system faster, you may speak the

second level commands with the main menu
command on the main menu. For example,
press the

button and after the tone

say, “Call Redial.”

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”

● 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).

For additional information, refer to “List of
voice commands” and “Special number” in
this section.

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 phonebook 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.

Voice Prompt Interrupt

In most cases you can interrupt the voice feed-
back to speak the next command by pressing
the

button on the steering wheel. After

interrupting the system, wait for a beep before
speaking your command.

One Shot Call

To use the system faster, you may speak the
second level commands with the main menu
command on the main menu. For example, press
the

button and after the tone say, “Call

Redial”.

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

Solution

System fails to interpret the command correctly.

1. Ensure that the command is valid. For additional information, refer to “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. For additional information, refer to “Voice Adaptation (VA) mode” in
this section.

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

1. Ensure that the phone book entry name requested matches what was originally stored. This can be confirmed by
using the “List Names” command. For additional information, refer to “Phonebook” in this section.

2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.

WARNING

● Use a phone after stopping your vehicle

in a safe location. If you have to use a
phone while driving, exercise extreme
caution at all times so full attention may
be given to vehicle operation.

● If you are unable to devote full attention

to vehicle operation while talking on
the phone, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop your vehicle.

CAUTION

To avoid discharging the vehicle battery,
use a phone after starting the engine.

Your NISSAN is equipped with the Bluetooth®
Hands-Free Phone System. If you have a com-
patible Bluetooth® enabled cellular phone, you
can set up the wireless connection between your
cellular phone and the in-vehicle phone module.
With Bluetooth® wireless technology, you can

make or receive a hands-free telephone call with
your cellular phone in the vehicle.

Once your cellular phone is connected to the in-
vehicle phone module, no other phone connecting
procedure is required. Your phone is automatically
connected with the in-vehicle phone module when

the ignition switch is placed in the ON position with
the previously connected cellular phone turned on
and carried in the vehicle.

You can connect up to five different Bluetooth®
cellular phones to the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular phone
at a time.

Before using the Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.

● Set up the wireless connection between a

compatible cellular phone and the in-vehicle
phone module before using the hands-free
phone system.

● Some Bluetooth® enabled cellular phones may

not be recognized by the in-vehicle phone mod-
ule. Please visit www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth
for recommended phone list and connecting
instructions.

● You will not be able to use a hands-free

phone under the following conditions:

– Your vehicle is outside of the cellular ser-

vice area.

– Your vehicle is in an area where it is

difficult to receive a cellular signal; such
as in a tunnel, in an underground parking
garage, near a tall building or in a moun-
tainous area.

– Your cellular phone is locked to prevent it

from being dialed.

● When the radio wave condition is not ideal

or ambient sound is too loud, it may be
difficult to hear the other person’s voice dur-
ing a call.

● Do not place the cellular phone in an area

surrounded by metal or far away from the
in-vehicle phone module to prevent tone
quality degradation and wireless connection
disruption.

● While a cellular phone is connected through

the Bluetooth® wireless connection, the
battery power of the cellular phone may dis-
charge quicker than usual. The Bluetooth®
Hands-Free Phone System cannot charge
cellular phones.

● If the hands-free phone system seems to be

malfunctioning, refer to “Troubleshooting
guide” in this section. You can also visit
www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth for trouble-
shooting help.

● Some cellular phones or other devices may

cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers. Stor-
ing the device in a different location may
reduce or eliminate the noise.

● Refer to the cellular phone Owner’s Manual

regarding the telephone charges, cellular
phone antenna and body, etc.

USING THE SYSTEM

The NISSAN Voice Recognition system allows
hands-free operation of the Bluetooth® Hands-
Free Phone System.

If the vehicle is in motion, some commands may
not be available so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.

Initialization

When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initialized,
which takes a few seconds. If the

button is

pressed before the initialization completes, the
system will announce “Hands-free phone system
not ready” and will not react to voice commands.

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, “Command not recognized.
Please try again.” Make sure the command is
said exactly as prompted by the system and
repeat the command in a clear voice.

● 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 Voice Recognition
session. You can also press and hold
the

button on the steering wheel for

five seconds at any time to end the VR
session. Whenever the VR session is can-
celled, 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.
