of the Audio, Climate Control and Display sys-
tems as well as additional commands for the

expanded list of commands can be used after

is not available on the display. Please review the
expanded command list, available when this

mands are replaced. Please see examples of

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.

Before starting

Recognition, observe the following:
cKeep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
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

cally for easy recognition.
cWait until a tone sounds before speaking a
command.
cSpeak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.
