Before Starting
To get the best possible performance out of the Voice Recognition system, observe the following:

The interior of the vehicle should be as quiet as possible. close the windows to minimize the
surrounding noises.

Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a command.

Speak in a natural conversational voice with minimal pauses between words.

if you want to repeat a step or if the system incorrectly recognizes your command, push the

switch on the steering wheel or select the “ BA
ck” key on the display.

if the system does not recognize your command, please repeat the command \
again.
However, avoid raising the volume of your voice or slowing down your speech unless
the system prompts you to do so. Speaking too slowly reduces recognition\
accuracy.

To give commands quickly, press the
switch to interrupt the voice guidance.
How to speak phone numbers
The system provides two commands for entering and dialing a phone number: “ diAL” and
“inTe RnATi OnAL c ALL.” The “diAL” command is used for domestic phone numbers up to
10 digits in length starting with the area code. The “ inTe R nAT iO nAL cALL” command is used
when more than 10 digits need to be dialed or when special characters are required such as *, #,
or +. When using these two commands, please follow the phone digit speaking rul\
es below:

Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 (nine) can be spoken.

Speak digits at a normal pace. Speaking too slowly reduces recognition a\
ccuracy.

When saying the phone number 800-662-6200, the system will accept “eight zero zero” or
“eight oh oh.” 500, 700 and 900 are also supported.

The long-distance dialing prefix “1” is not required when making a call.
“diAL” c OMMAnd O nLY
You can say all the digits of a 7- or 10-digit phone number at one time.

for a 10-digit number, saying the phone number in groups of 3, 3 and 4 digits may improve
recognition for some speakers. To use this group dialing method, say only the first 3 digits of
the phone number. After the system recognizes the 3 three digits, it will request the next 3
digits and finally the last 4 digits.

if a phone number is incorrectly recognized, you can try entering the pho\
ne number again
using the 3-3-4 group dialing procedure by saying, “c HAnGe nu MBeR.”
“inTe RnATi OnAL c ALL” c OMMAnd O nLY
You can say the entire phone number at once or in groups of any digit length.

for *, # and +, say “STAR,” “PO und” or “PLuS,” respectively.
