possible. Close the windows to eliminate the
surrounding noises (traffic noises, vibration
sounds, etc.) , which may prevent the system
from recognizing the voice commands cor-
rectly.
cWhen the climate control is in the AUTO
mode, the fan speed decreases automati-
cally for easy recognition.
cWait until a tone sounds before speaking a
command. Otherwise, the command will not
be received properly.
cStart speaking a command within 1.5 sec-
onds after the tone sounds.
cSpeak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.

mand after a tone.”

tem announces: “Please say again.” Repeat
the command in a clear voice.
