Operation Manual

INFINITI Voice Recognition allows hands-
free operation of the systems equipped
on this vehicle, such as the display,
audio, climate control, phone and op-
tional navigation systems.
INFINITI Voice Recognition will be acti-
vated when the system language is set to
English. If French is selected, INFINITI
Voice Recognition will not operate when
the TALK
switch on the steering-
wheel-mounted controls is pushed. See
“How to use SETTING button” earlier in
this section.
To operate INFINITI Voice Recognition,
push and release the TALK
switch lo-
cated on the steering wheel. Then speak
the command for the system you wish to
activate. The command given is picked up
by the microphone, and it is performed
when it is properly recognized. At this
time INFINITI Voice Recognition will pro-
vide a voice and message (in the center
display) to inform you of the command re-
sults.
USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, INFINITI Voice Recognition is
initialized, which takes a few seconds.
When completed, the system is ready to
accept voice commands. If the TALK
switch is pushed before the initial-
ization completes, the display will show
the message: “Phonetic data down-
loaded. Please wait.”
Operating tips
To get the best performance out of
INFINITI Voice Recognition, observe the
following:
O 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.
O When the climate control is in the
“AUTO” mode, the fan speed de-
creases automatically for easy recog-
nition.
O Wait until a tone sounds before
speaking a command. Otherwise, the
command will not be received prop-
erly.
O Start speaking a command within 8
seconds after the tone sounds.
O Speak in a natural voice without paus-
ing between words.
