Using the system

This system enables convenient hands-free operation of the Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System in the Nissan Sentra, allowing drivers to place and receive calls while keeping their hands on the steering wheel.

When the vehicle is in motion, certain voice commands or functions may be limited or unavailable so that full attention can remain focused on safe vehicle operation.

Initialization

When the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, the NISSAN Voice Recognition system begins initializing. This process takes a few seconds. If the button is pressed before initialization is complete, the system will announce, “There is no phone connected,” and will not respond to voice commands.

Operating tips

For optimal performance of the NISSAN Voice Recognition System in your Nissan Sentra, observe the following recommendations:

• Keep the vehicle interior as quiet as possible. Direct all air vents away from the microphone and close the windows to reduce external noises such as traffic, wind, or vibration sounds, which may interfere with accurate voice recognition.
• Wait until the audible tone is heard before speaking a command. Speaking too early may prevent the system from recognizing the command correctly.
• Begin speaking within five seconds after the tone sounds to ensure the command is accepted.
• Speak naturally and clearly without unnecessary pauses between words.
• When placing calls by contact name, say both the first and last name of the contact to improve recognition accuracy.

Giving voice commands

To operate the NISSAN Voice Recognition system, briefly press the button on the steering wheel for less than 1.5 seconds. After the tone sounds, clearly speak the desired command.

The spoken command is detected by the microphone, and the system provides audible feedback once the command has been successfully recognized.

• If a command is not recognized, the system announces, “Please say or select a command from the displayed list.” Repeat the command exactly as prompted, using a clear and steady voice.
• If you wish to return to the previous command level, say “Go back” or “Correction” at any time while the system is awaiting input.
• You may cancel the current command by saying “Cancel” or “Quit.” The system will announce “Exit” and terminate the Voice Recognition session. You can also press and hold the button on the steering wheel for more than 1.5 seconds to end the session at any time. When the session ends, a double beep confirms that you have exited the system.
• To adjust the volume of voice feedback, use the (+) or (–) volume control switches on the steering wheel while feedback is playing, or adjust the radio volume control knob.

Voice Prompt Interrupt

In most situations, you can interrupt voice feedback to issue the next command by pressing the button on the steering wheel. After interrupting, wait for the confirmation beep before speaking your next command.

One Shot Call (if so equipped)

To speed up operation, second-level commands may be spoken directly after the main menu command. For example, press the button and, after the tone, say “Call Redial” to quickly redial the last number.

Indicators

When a cellular phone is connected to the Nissan Sentra through the Bluetooth wireless connection, indicator icons for phone calls and text messaging are displayed at the top of the screen, allowing the driver to quickly confirm connection status and message availability.

Control buttons

The control buttons for the Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System in the Nissan Sentra are conveniently integrated into the steering wheel, allowing safe operation without removing your hands from the wheel.

VOICE COMMAND BUTTON

Press and hold the button for more than 1.5 seconds to start a Voice Recognition session, enabling hands-free control of phone and system functions.

To exit the Voice Recognition session, press and hold the button for more than 1.5 seconds.

You can use the button to interrupt system voice feedback and immediately issue a new command, which helps streamline operation while driving.

If an iPhone is connected to the Nissan Sentra, Siri can be accessed by pressing the button for less than 1.5 seconds, allowing quick access to Siri Eyes Free features.
