BLUETOOTH

姞 HANDS-FREE PHONE

SYSTEM WITHOUT NAVIGATION
SYSTEM (if so equipped)

4-86

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

Your NISSAN is equipped with the Bluetooth

姞

Hands-Free Phone System. If you have an ap-
proved Bluetooth

姞 enabled cellular phone, you

can set up the wireless connection between your
cellular phone and the in-vehicle phone module.
With Bluetooth

姞 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 pushed to the ON position
with the previously connected cellular phone
turned on and carried in the vehicle.

You can connect up to 5 different Bluetooth

姞

cellular phones to the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular phone
at a time.

Before using the Bluetooth

姞 Hands-Free Phone

System, refer to the following notes.

● Set up the wireless connection between a

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

● Some Bluetooth姞 enabled cellular phones may

not be recognized by the in-vehicle phone mod-
ule. Please visit www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth
for a 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 cellular signal; such as
in a tunnel, in an underground parking
garage, near a tall building or in a moun-
tainous area.

WHA1042

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

4-87

– 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

姞 wireless connection, the bat-

tery power of the cellular phone may dis-
charge quicker than usual. The Bluetooth

姞

Hands-Free Phone System cannot charge
cellular phones.

● If the hands-free phone system seems to be

malfunctioning, see “Troubleshooting guide”
later 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

姞 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.

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

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.” 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 VR 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 ses-
sion 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.”

NOTE:

The combined command of Call and (a
Name) cannot be used.

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”,

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

4-89

– 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 Dialing” com-
mand and the “Send” command during a
call).

See “List of voice commands” and “Special
Dialing” in this section for more information.

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 Dialing” command).

● Say “pause” for a 2-second pause (available

only when storing a phone book 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.

SPEAKER ADAPTATION (SA) MODE

Speaker Adaptation allows up to two out-of-
dialect users to train the system to improve rec-
ognition accuracy. By repeating a number of
commands, the users can create a voice model of
their own voice that is stored in the system. The
system is capable of storing a different speaker
adaptation model for each connected phone.

Training procedure

The procedure for training a voice is as follows.

1. Position the vehicle in a reasonably quiet

outdoor location.

2. Sit in the driver’s seat with the engine run-

ning, the parking brake on, and the transmis-
sion in P (Park).

3. Press and hold the

button for more

than 5 seconds.

4. The

system

announces:

“Press

the

PHONE/SEND (

) button for the

hands-free phone system to enter the
speaker adaptation mode or press the
PHONE/END (

) button to select a dif-

ferent language.”

already in use, the system will prompt you to
overwrite one. Follow the instructions pro-
vided by the system.

7. When preparation is complete and you are

ready to begin, press the

button.

8. The SA mode will be explained. Follow the

instructions provided by the system.

9. When training is finished, the system will tell

you an adequate number of phrases have
been recorded.

aptation has been completed and the sys-
tem is ready.

The SA mode will stop if:

MANUAL CONTROL

While using the voice recognition system, it is
possible to select menu options by using the
steering wheel controls instead of speaking voice
commands. The manual control mode does not
allow dialing a phone number by digits. The user
may select an entry from the Phonebook or Re-
cent Calls lists. To re-activate voice recognition,
exit the manual control mode by pressing and
holding the PHONE/END (

) button. At that

time, pressing the PHONE/SEND (

) button

will start the Hands Free Phone System.

Operating tips

● To enter manual control mode, start the

voice recognition system and tilt the tuning
(

) switch up or down. The system will

speak

⬙Showing Manual Options⬙ when

manual controls are initially activated.

● To browse the menu options, tilt the tuning

(

) switch up or down. The system will

always speak the current menu option. De-
pending on the audio display, it will also
show the current menu option.

● To select the current menu option, press the

PHONE/SEND (

) button.

● To go back to the previous menu, press the

PHONE/END (

) button. If the current

menu is the Main Menu, pressing the
PHONE/END (

) button will exit the

Phone system.

● To exit the manual control mode, press and

hold the PHONE/END (

) button for 5

seconds.

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. See “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. See “Speaker adaptation (SA) 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. See “Phonebook” in this section.

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