INFINITI VOICE RECOGNITION

INFINITI Voice Recognition allows hands-free operation of the navigation systemand other systems equipped on thisvehicle, such as the phone, vehicle infor-mation and audio. INFINITI Voice Recogni-tion can be used in one of two selectablemodes, Standard Mode or Alternate Com-mand Mode.

In Standard Mode, the commands that areavailable are always shown on the displayand announced by the system. To performoperations, simply follow the promptsgiven by the system.

For advanced operations, change to Alter-nate Command Mode. When this mode isactive, an expanded list of commands canbe spoken after pushing <TALK > on thesteering wheel, and the voice commandmenu prompts are turned off. Note that inthis mode the recognition success rate maydecrease because there are more com-mands available and more ways of speak-ing each command. Otherwise, it isrecommended that Alternate CommandMode be turned off and Standard Modebe used for the best recognition perfor-mance.

INFO:

. For voice recognition system operationsrelated to the phone, audio or vehicleinformation systems, refer to the vehicleOwner’s Manual.

. When the system language is set to“Français” (French) or “Español” (Spanish),the available commands and functions maydiffer from those that are available whenusing the system in English.

USING VOICE RECOGNITION SYS-TEM

InitializationWhen the ignition switch is pushed to theON position, INFINITI Voice Recognition isinitialized, which may take up to oneminute. When completed, the system isready to accept voice commands. If <TALK

> is pushed before the initializationcompletes, the display will show themessage: “System not ready.”

BEFORE STARTINGTo get the best recognition performancefrom INFINITI Voice Recognition, observethe following points.

. The interior of the vehicle should be asquiet as possible. Close the windows toeliminate the surrounding noises (traf-fic noise, vibration sounds, etc.), whichmay prevent the system from correctlyrecognizing the voice commands.

. The voice recognition system cannot beoperated when the retractable hard topis not closed (for G37 Convertible only).

. Wait until the tone sounds beforespeaking a command.

. Speak in a natural conversational voicewithout pausing between words.

. If the air conditioner is set to “Auto”,the fan speed is automatically loweredso that commands can be recognizedmore easily.

the prompts given by the system.

. If the command is not recognized, thesystem announces, “Please say again”.Repeat the command in a clear voice.

. Push <BACK> once to return to theprevious screen.

. Push and hold <TALK > to cancel thecommand. The message, “Voice recog-nition is canceled” will be announced.

. Push <TALK > to stop the voiceprompt and give the command at once.Remember to wait for the tone beforespeaking.

. To adjust the volume of the systemfeedback, push the volume controlbuttons <+> or <−> on the steeringwheel or use the audio system volumecontrol knob while the system is mak-ing an announcement.

VOICE COMMAND EXAMPLESTo use the voice recognition system,speaking one command is sometimessufficient, but at other times it is necessaryto speak two or more commands. Asexamples, some additional basic opera-tions that can be performed by voicecommands are described here.

Example 1: Placing call to phone number800-662-6200


2. The system announces, “Would you liketo access Phone, Navigation, Informa-tion, Audio or Help?”.

3. Speak “Phone”.

4. Speak “Dial Number”.

5. Speak “800”.

6. The system announces, “Please saynext three digits or dial, or say changenumber”. Speak “662”.

Black plate (37,1)


7. The system announces, “Please saylast four digits or say change number”.Speak “6200”.

8. The system announces, “Dial or ChangeNumber?”. Speak “Dial”.

9. The system makes a call to 800-662-6200.

INFO:

. Speaking “800-662-6200” (10 continuousdigits) or “662-6200” (7 continuous digits)is acceptable, if the area code is notnecessary. However the 3-3-4 digit groupingis recommended for improved recognition.

“How to speak numbers” (page 9-14)

. The INFINITI voice recognition system is notlimited to recognizing phone numbers ofonly 7 or 10 digits. To dial a number in aformat other than the 3-3-4 digit grouping,use the “International Call” command.

. If “Change Number” is spoken during phonenumber entry, the system will automaticallyrequest that the number be repeated usingthe 3-3-4 format. In this case, speak thearea code first and then follow the prompts.

. Do not add a “1” in front of the area codewhen speaking phone numbers.

. If the system does not recognize a spokenvoice command, try repeating the commandusing a natural voice. Speaking too slowlyor too loudly may further reduce recognitionaccuracy.

How to speak numbersINFINITI Voice Recognition requires a cer-tain way to speak numbers when givingvoice commands. Refer to the followingexamples.

General rule:

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

Examples:

1-800-662-6200

“One eight zero zero six six two six twozero zero”

Improving Recognition of Phone numbers:

Recognition of phone numbers can beimproved by speaking the phone numberin 3 groups of numbers. For example, tocall 800-662-6200, speak “Eight ZeroZero” first, and the system will then askto speak the next three digits. Then, speak“Six Six Two”. After recognition, thesystem will then ask to speak the last 4digits. Speak, “Six Two Zero Zero”. Usingthis method of phone digit entry canimprove recognition performance.

INFO:

For best recognition, speak “zero” for thenumber “0” and “oh” for the letter “o”.

VOICE COMMAND EXAMPLESTo use the voice recognition function,speaking one command is sometimessufficient, but at other times it is necessaryto speak two or more commands. Asexamples, some additional basic opera-tions that can be performed by voicecommands are described here.

Example 1: Placing call to phonenumber 800-662-62001. Push <TALK > located on the steering

wheel.

9-6


4. Speak “Dial Number”.

5. Speak “800”.

6. The system announces, “Please saynext three digits or dial, or say changenumber”. Speak “662”.

7. The system announces, “Please saylast four digits or say change number”.Speak “6200”.

8. The system announces, “Dial or ChangeNumber?”. Speak “Dial”.

9. The system makes a call to 800-662-6200.

INFO:

. Speaking “800-662-6200” (10 continuousdigits) or “662-6200” (7 continuous digits)is acceptable, if the area code is notnecessary. However the 3-3-4 digit groupingis recommended for improved recognition.

“How to speak numbers” (page 9-14)

. The INFINITI voice recognition system is notlimited to recognizing phone numbers ofonly 7 or 10 digits. To dial a number in aformat other than the 3-3-4 digit grouping,use the “International Call” command.

. If “Change Number” is spoken during phonenumber entry, the system will automaticallyrequest that the number be repeated usingthe 3-3-4 format. In this case please speakthe area code first and then follow the

Black plate (183,1)


prompts.

. Do not add a “1” in front of the area codewhen speaking phone numbers.

. If the system does not recognize a voicecommand, please try repeating the com-mand using a natural voice. Speaking tooslowly or too loudly may further decreaserecognition performance.

Example 2: Placing internationalcall to phone number 011-81-111-222-3331. Push <TALK > located on the steering

wheel.



4. Speak “International Call”.

5. Speak “01181111222333”.

FEATURES OF THIS NAVIGATION SYSTEM

ROUTE GUIDANCEThe main features of the INFINITI Naviga-tion System are visual guidance and voiceguidance in selected map coverage areas.Utilizing a network of GPS (Global Position-ing System) satellites, the INFINITI Naviga-tion System tracks the location on the mapand navigates to a preferred location.

Once the destination is set in a mapcoverage area, the INFINITI NavigationSystem will calculate a route from thecurrent location to the destination. Thereal-time map display and turn-by-turnvoice guidance leads the driver along theroute. These features can be especiallyhelpful when driving to unfamiliar loca-tions.

The system may be unable to set adestination and/or calculate a route whenthe destination is outside the map cover-age area. Additionally, voice guidance maynot be available if the destination isoutside the map coverage area. For moreinformation on how to set a destination,refer to section 4.

PLACES OF INTEREST (PLACES) DI-RECTORYThe INFINITI Navigation System offers anextensive places of interest (Places) direc-tory in map coverage areas. This directoryincludes a wide variety of destinationsranging from gas stations, ATMs, andrestaurants to casinos, ski resorts, shop-ping centers and businesses. A point ofinterest can be searched by category, nameor phone number. After selecting a desti-nation, the INFINITI Navigation System willcalculate a route to that destination.

The Places directory has many uses. Forexample, the directory can be sorted by thevarious types of restaurants near thecurrent location. If an ATM or gas stationis needed, the INFINITI Navigation Systemcan navigate to the closest preferredlocation.

For more information on how to use thePlaces directory, refer to section 4.

ADDRESS BOOKThe Address Book can store up to 300locations from map coverage areas into apersonal directory. This is especially usefulfor frequently visited locations, such asclients, relatives and friends. The Address

Book function allows easy access tofrequently visited locations when settingthem as your destination.

For more information on how to use theAddress Book, refer to section 6.

AVOID AREAThe Avoid Area function sets areas orfreeways that the INFINITI Navigation Sys-tem does not include in the suggestedroute when calculating routes. For exam-ple, if a freeway or area that is alwayscongested with traffic.

For more information on the Avoid Areafunction, refer to section 6.

XM NavTraffic® INFORMATIONWhen available, the XM NavTraffic® Infor-mation broadcast may help to avoid delaysdue to traffic incidents. Traffic jams, road-work, closed roads around the currentlocation, etc. are represented graphicallyon the map by icons depicting the natureof the event. Incidents on the route areautomatically brought to the attentionwhen they are approached.

The XM NavTraffic® Information feature, viathe guidance mode, may help to detouraround traffic problems. For more informa-

Black plate (207,1)


tion on the XM NavTraffic® Informationfeature, refer to section 5.

AUTOMATIC REROUTEWhen detecting a deviation from thesuggested route, the INFINITI NavigationSystem will automatically recalculate anew route to the destination.

For more information on the Automaticreroute function, refer to section 5.

DETOURTo make a detour due to traffic conditions,the Detour function calculates an alterna-tive route. The INFINITI Navigation Systemcan calculate a route using secondaryroads that will return to primary roadsafter a specified number of miles.

For more information on the Detour func-tion, refer to section 5.

BirdviewTM

Two map types, the 2D (Plan View) mapand BirdviewTM (3D) map, are available inthe INFINITI Navigation System. BirdviewTM

map displays the map from an elevatedperspective. In BirdviewTM map, it is easyto recognize an image of the route becauseit provides a panoramic view over a longdistance.

For more information on BirdviewTM map,refer to section 3.

VOICE GUIDANCE

Route guidance is provided through voiceand visual instructions. Voice guidanceannounces the appropriate directionswhen approaching an intersection to turn.

For more information on voice guidance,refer to section 5.

CURRENT VEHICLE LOCATION

DISPLAY OF CURRENT VEHICLE LO-CATIONThis navigation system combines the dataobtained from the vehicle (by gyro sensor)and from GPS (Global Positioning System)satellites to calculate the current locationof the vehicle. This position is thendisplayed throughout route guidance to adestination.

WHAT IS GPS (Global PositioningSystem)?GPS is a position detecting system thatuses satellites deployed by the U.S.government. This navigation system re-ceives radio signals from three or moredifferent satellites that orbit 13,049 miles(21,000 km) above the earth in space, anddetects the position of the vehicle byutilizing the principle of triangulation.

Positioning adjustmentWhen the system judges that the vehicleposition information is not accurate basedon vehicle speed and gyro sensor datacalculations, the system will automaticallyadjust the position of the vehicle icon

using GPS signals.

Receiving signals from GPS satel-litesThe reception of GPS signals can be weak,depending on the environment. Vehicles inthe following areas/environments may notreceive GPS signals (indicator color: gray).

. Inside tunnels or parking garages

. Areas with numerous tall buildings

. Under multi-layered highways

Black plate (209,1)


. Under many large trees

. In a canyon

INFO:

The GPS antenna is located on the instrumentpanel inside the vehicle. Do not place anyobjects, especially mobile phones or transcei-vers, on the instrument panel. Because thestrength of the GPS signal is approximately onebillionth of that of TV waves, phones andtransceivers will affect or may totally disruptthe signal.

Display of GPS informationGPS information can be displayed.

“Viewing GPS current location infor-mation” (page 7-19)

NOTE:

Route guidance provided by the navigationsystem does not take carpool lane driving intoconsideration, especially when carpool lanesare separated from other road lanes.

INCORRECT DISPLAY OF VEHICLEPOSITIONThe following cases may affect the displayaccuracy of the vehicle’s position ortraveling direction. The accuracy will returnto normal if the driving conditions return tonormal.

. When there is a similar road nearby.

. When the vehicle is traveling in an areawith a grid pattern road system.


10-5

Black plate (210,1)



10-6

. When the vehicle is passing through alarge Y-shaped intersection/junction.

. When the vehicle is traveling on acontinuous, slowly curving road.

. When the vehicle is traveling on a roadwith repeating S-shaped curves.

. When the vehicle is on a loop bridge.

. When the vehicle is on a snow-coveredor unpaved road.

. When repeatedly turning left or right, ordriving in zigzags.

Black plate (211,1)


. When the vehicle is rotated on aparking lot turntable while the ignitionswitch is off.

. When driving on a road not displayedon the map screen or a road that hasbeen changed due to additional con-struction or other reasons.

. When the GPS positioning accuracy islow.

INFO:

. The vehicle icon may be misaligned whenstarting the vehicle just after starting theengine.

. The vehicle icon may also be misaligned ifdifferent sized tires or tire chains areinstalled.

. The system has a function that automati-cally corrects the vehicle icon position whenit is misaligned from the actual position.

. Vehicle position correction by GPS may notfunction when the vehicle is stopped.

. If the vehicle icon position does not returnto normal even after driving for a while,correct the vehicle icon position manually.

WHEN GRAY ROAD IS DISPLAYED ONMAP. When you are driving on a road

displayed in gray after the vehicle hasdeviated from the suggested routeduring route guidance, automatic re-routing may not start immediately.

. The navigation system does not provideroute guidance for roads displayed indark green. Therefore, if the destinationis set on a road displayed in darkgreen, the enlarged map display willreturn to the ordinary map screen atsome point on a suggested route that isnear the destination. Also, voice gui-dance will stop at some point on asuggested route that is near thedestination.

. Places information and street namesnear roads displayed in gray may notbe contained in the map data.

ROUTE CALCULATION

. There may be cases that carpool lanesare included on a suggested routewhen the automatic rerouting functionis activated, even if the “Use TimeRestricted Roads” is turned off.

“Setting conditions for route cal-culation” (page 5-25)

. The navigation system does not provideroute guidance for roads displayed indark green.

. If the destination is set on a dark greenroad, the enlarged map display willswitch to the ordinary map screen atsome point and suggest a route that isnear the destination. The distance anddirection to the endpoint of the sug-gested route will be displayed in thelower right corner of the screen. Also,at this time, voice guidance will an-nounce, “The route to the destinationincludes roads through incompletemap areas. Voice guidance will not beprovided in these areas”.When approaching the endpoint of thesuggested route, voice guidance willannounce, “Entering the road withincomplete map data. Use the direction

arrow and distance information toproceed to your destination.”To reach the destination, refer to themap screen. Always follow actual roadsand regulations and drive safely.

. The suggested route may not be theshortest, nor are other circumstancessuch as traffic jams considered.

. Because of the inevitable difference inroad conditions and circumstancesbetween the time you use this systemand the time the information wasproduced for the map data, there maybe discrepancies in roads and regula-tions. In such cases, follow the actualinformation available.

. During route calculation, the map willnot scroll, however the vehicle icon willmove with the actual vehicle’s move-ment.

. During route calculation, buttons suchas <ZOOM OUT>/<ZOOM IN> (if soequipped), <MAP>, <DEST> and theINFINITI controller will be disabled.

. In some cases, after the calculation iscomplete, the calculated route may notbe immediately displayed.

Black plate (213,1)


. Waypoints that have been passed willbe disregarded by rerouting calcula-tion.

. If you scroll the map while the sug-gested route is being drawn, it maytake more time to finish drawing.

. If waypoints are set, the system calcu-lates multiple routes between way-points simultaneously, and thefollowing may result.— If one section between waypoints cannot

be calculated, none of the route will bedisplayed.

— The route may not connect completely atsome waypoints.

— The route may require a U-turn close tosome waypoints.

. Route calculation may not be com-pleted in the following cases.— If there is no main road within a range of

1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the vehicle, amessage saying so will appear on thescreen. Try recalculating when the vehi-cle is closer to a main road.

— If there is no main road within a range of1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the destinationor waypoint, a message saying so will

appear on the screen. Try setting thelocation closer to a main road.

— If the vehicle is too close to thedestination or if there are no roads tothe destination, a message saying sowill appear on the screen.

— If it is impossible to reach the destina-tion or waypoints because of trafficregulations, etc.

— If the only route to reach the destinationor waypoints is extremely complicated.

— If the destination, current vehicle posi-tion or waypoint is within the “AvoidArea”.

— If a part of the route is included in the“Avoid Area”.

. The following may occur when the routeis displayed.— If you calculate a route on a main road,

the starting point of the route may notexactly match the current vehicle loca-tion.

— The endpoint of the route may notexactly match the destination.

— If you calculate a route on a main road,the system may display a route from

another main road. This may be becausethe position of the vehicle icon is notaccurate. In this case, park the vehicle ina safe location and reset the vehicleicon, or continue driving to see if theposition of the vehicle icon is automati-cally adjusted before recalculating theroute.

— There are cases in which the systemshows an indirect route to reach thedestination or waypoints, if you set themfrom stored or facility information. Inorder to correct this, you must be carefulabout the traffic direction, especiallywhen lanes with different travel direc-tions are shown separately, such asinterchanges and service areas.

— This system makes no distinction be-tween limited traffic control and totalcontrol (blockage). It may show anindirect route even if the road is usable.

— Even if the freeway preference is set toOFF, a route that uses the freeway maybe suggested.

— Even if the ferry preference is set to OFF,a route that uses a ferry line may besuggested.

ROUTE GUIDANCE

INFO:

The system will only announce street nameswhen the system language is set to English.Street names are not announced when thesystem is set to Français (French).

BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCEVoice guidance announces which directionto turn when approaching an intersectionin which a turn is necessary.

NOTE:

. There may be some cases in which voiceguidance and actual road conditions do notcorrespond. This may occur because ofdiscrepancies between the actual road andthe information on the map data, or it isdue to the vehicle’s speed.

. In case voice guidance does not correspondto the actual road conditions, follow theinformation obtained from traffic signs ornotices on the road.

. Route guidance provided by the navigationsystem does not take carpool lane drivinginto consideration, especially when carpool

lanes are separated from other road lanes.

DIRECTIONS PROVIDED AND DIS-TANCES TO GUIDE POINTSDirections will differ, depending on theroad type.

INFO:

Distances may vary, depending on the vehiclespeed.

Notification of intersection on or-dinary road

in these areas.” When approaching theendpoint of the suggested road, voiceguidance will announce, “Entering the roadwith incomplete map data. Please use thedirection arrow and distance information toproceed to your destination.”

REPEATING VOICE GUIDANCEThis function is available throughout routeguidance, from the time after the routecalculation is completed until the vehiclearrives at the destination. Push <VOICE>.Voice guidance will be repeated.

INFO:

. If <VOICE> is pushed when the vehicle isdeviating from the suggested route andwhen the automatic reroute function is off,voice guidance will announce, “Proceed tothe highlighted route.”

. If <VOICE> is pushed when the vehicle isgoing in the wrong direction, voice guidancewill announce: “Please make a legal U-turnif possible.”

NOTES ON VOICE GUIDANCE. Voice guidance in this system should

be regarded as a supplementary func-tion. When driving the vehicle, checkthe route on the map and follow theactual roads and traffic regulations.

. Voice guidance is activated only forintersections with certain conditions.There may be cases that the vehicle hasto turn, but voice guidance is notprovided.

. Voice guidance contents may vary,depending on the direction of the turnand the type of intersection.

. The voice guidance timing will varydepending on the situation.

. When the vehicle has deviated from thesuggested route, voice guidance is notavailable. The system will not announcethis. Refer to the map and recalculatethe route.

“Recalculate route” (page 5-22)

right/left” after announcing the arrivalat the destination.

. Voice guidance may be partially opera-tional or inoperative due to the angle ofroads at an intersection.

. Because freeway lane information isavailable only for approximately 7,000major freeways in North America, it isnot possible to display information forall junctions and exits.

. Freeway exit information may differfrom the information on the actual exitsigns.

. Because it is not possible to considerdata concerning roads that are season-ally available or unavailable, a routemay be displayed that does not matchthe actual traffic restrictions. Be sure tofollow the actual traffic restrictionswhile driving.

. Canada and Alaska contain many roadswith incomplete map data. As a result,when searching for a route, the routemay include roads with incompletedata. In regions where road data isnot complete, voice guidance may stopfor long periods of time. Be sure tofollow the actual traffic restrictions

while driving. NOTES ON XM NavTraffic® INFORMA-TION

VEHICLE ICON


Names of roads and locations differ betweenPlan View and BirdviewTM.

This is because the quantity of the displayed information isreduced so that the screen does not become too crowded. There isalso a chance that names of the roads or locations may bedisplayed multiple times, and the names appearing on the screenmay be different because of a processing procedure.


The vehicle icon is not displayed in the correctposition.

The vehicle was transported after the ignition switch was pushedoff, for example, by a ferry or car transporter.

Drive the vehicle for a while on a roadwhere GPS signals can be received.

The position and direction of the vehicle icon may be incorrectdepending on the driving environments and the levels ofpositioning accuracy of the navigation system.

This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehiclefor a while to automatically correct theposition and direction of the vehicle icon.

“Current vehicle location” (page 10-4)

When the vehicle is traveling on a new road,the vehicle icon is located on another roadnearby.

Because the new road is not stored in the map data, the systemautomatically places the vehicle icon on the nearest road available.

Updated road information will be includedin the next version of the map data.

The screen does not switch to the night screeneven after turning on the headlights.

The daytime screen was set the last time the headlights wereturned on.

Set the screen to the night screen modeusing <DAY/NIGHT OFF> when turning onthe headlights.

“Display settings” (page 8-3)

The map does not scroll even when thevehicle is moving.

The current location map screen is not displayed. Push <MAP>.

The vehicle icon is not displayed. The current location map screen is not displayed. Push <MAP>.
