front air bags inflate with great
force. Even with the NISSAN Ad-

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
GUID-1990A006-1918-4972-930B-87D92D705B77
The system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, 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
1. Ensure that the command format is valid. (See “List of voice commands” (P.4-55).)
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.
The system fails to interpret the command 4. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, windows open or defroster on).
correctly. 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 improve the
recognition response for the speaker. (See “Speaker Adaptation (SA) mode” (P.4-59).)
1. Ensure that the phone book entry name requested matches what was originally stored. This can be confirmed by using the
