vice area.
– Your vehicle is in an area where it is
difficult to receive a cellular signal; such
as in a tunnel, in an underground parking
garage, near a tall building or in a moun-
tainous area.– Your cellular phone is locked to prevent it
from being dialed.
●When the radio wave condition is not ideal
or ambient sound is too loud, it may be
difficult to hear the other person’s voice dur-
ing a call.
●Do not place the cellular phone in an area
surrounded by metal or far away from the
in-vehicle phone module to prevent tone
quality degradation and wireless connection
disruption.

SPEAKER ADAPTATION (SA) MODE
Speaker Adaptation allows up to two out-of-
dialect users to train the system to improve rec-
ognition accuracy. By repeating a number of
commands, the users can create a voice model of
their own voice that is stored in the system. The
system is capable of storing a different speaker
adaptation model for memory A and memory B.
If memory A is available, the system will use
memory A to store the model. If memory A is in
use and memory B is available, the system will
use memory B to store the model. If both of the
memory locations are in use, the system will ask
the user to select which memory location should
be overwritten.
Training procedure
The procedure for training a voice is as follows.
1. Position the vehicle in a reasonably quiet
outdoor location.
2. Sit in the driver’s seat with the engine run-
ning, the parking brake on, and the transmis-
sion in P (Park) .
3. Press and hold the
button for more
than 5 seconds.
4. The system announces: “Press the
PHONE/SEND (
) button for thehands-free phone system to enter the
speaker adaptation mode or press the
PHONE/END (
) button to select a dif-
ferent language.”
5. Press the
button.
For information on selecting a different lan-
guage, see “Choosing a language” earlier in
this section.
6. Voice memory A or memory B is selected
automatically. If both memory locations are
already in use, the system will prompt you to
overwrite one. Follow the instructions pro-
vided by the system.
7. When preparation is complete and you are
ready to begin, press the
button.
8. The SA mode will be explained. Follow the
instructions provided by the system.
9. When training is finished, the system will tell
you an adequate number of phrases have
been recorded.
10. The system will ask you to say your name.
Follow the instructions to register your
name.
11. The system will announce that speaker ad-
aptation has been completed and the sys-
tem is ready.The SA mode will stop if:
●The
button is pressed for more than 5
seconds in SA mode.
●The vehicle begins moving during SA mode.
●The ignition switch is placed in the OFF or
LOCK position.
Training phrases

trainer to say the following phrases. (The system
will prompt you for each phrase.)
