Nissan Maxima: NISSAN Voice Recognition Alternate Command Mode

Nissan Maxima: NISSAN Voice Recognition Alternate Command Mode

The Alternate Command Mode enables control of the Audio, Climate Control and Display systems as well as additional commands for the Vehicle Information, Phone and Navigation systems.

With this setting active, the system does not announce or display the available commands at each step.

When Alternate Command Mode is activated, an expanded list of commands can be used after pushing the TALK switch. Under this mode, the screen for Standard Mode commands is not available on the display. Please review the expanded command list, available when this mode is active, as some Standard Mode commands are replaced. Please see examples of Alternate Command Mode screens.

Please note that in this mode the recognition success rate may be affected as the number of available commands and ways of speaking each command are increased. You can turn this mode ON or OFF. When this mode is activated, the Voice Recognition Settings will change to show more options.
