.
Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet
as possible. Close the windows to
eliminate the surrounding noises (traf-
fic noises, vibration sounds, etc.),
which may prevent the system from
recognizing the voice commands cor-
rectly.
. Wait until a tone sounds before speak-
ing a command.
. Speak a voice command within 5
seconds after the beep sound. If no
voice command is given, the system
will ask you for a number. If no further
command is given, the session ends.
. Speak in a natural voice without paus-
ing between words.
