INFINITI VOICE RECOGNITION
INFINITI Voice Recognition allows handsfree
operation of the navigation system
and other systems equipped on this
vehicle, such as the phone, vehicle information
and audio.
INFINITI Voice Recognition can be used in
one of two selectable modes, Standard
Mode or Alternate Command Mode.
In Standard Mode, the commands that are
available are always shown on the display
and announced by the system. To perform
operations, simply follow the prompts
given by the system.
For advanced operations, change to Alternate
Command Mode. When this mode is
active, an expanded list of commands can
be spoken after pushing on the
steering wheel, and the voice command
menu prompts are turned off. Note that in
this mode the recognition success rate may
decrease because there are more commands
available and more ways of speaking
each command. Otherwise, it is
recommended that Alternate Command
Mode be turned off and Standard Mode
be used for the best recognition performance.
INFO:
. For U.S. customers, Standard Mode is
selected by default. For Canadian customers,
Alternate Command Mode is the
default mode.
. For voice recognition system operations
related to the phone, audio or vehicle
information systems, refer to the vehicle
Owner’s Manual.
. When the system language is set to
“Français” (French) or “Español” (Spanish),
the available commands and functions may
differ from those that are available when
using the system in English.
USING VOICE RECOGNITION SYS-
TEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, INFINITI Voice Recognition is
initialized, which may take up to one
minute. When completed, the system is
ready to accept voice commands. If is pushed before the initialization
completes, the display will show the
message: “System not ready.”
2. Getting started
BEFORE STARTING
To get the best recognition performance
from INFINITI Voice Recognition, observe
the following points.
. The interior of the vehicle should be as
quiet as possible. Close the windows to
eliminate the surrounding noises (traffic
noise, vibration sounds, etc.), which
may prevent the system from correctly
recognizing the voice commands.
. The voice recognition system cannot be
operated when the retractable hard top
is not closed (for G37 Convertible only).
. Wait until the tone sounds before
speaking a command.
. Speak in a natural conversational voice
without pausing between words.
. If the air conditioner is set to “AUTO”,
the fan speed is automatically lowered
so that commands can be recognized
more easily.
