When using the microphone
It is unnecessary to speak directly into the microphone when giving a com-
mand.
Wait for the confirmation beep before speaking a command.
Speech commands may not be recognized if:
• Spoken too quickly.
• Spoken at a low or high volume.
• The roof or windows are open.
• Passengers are talking while speech commands are spoken.
• The air conditioning speed is set high.
• The air conditioning vents are turned towards the microphone.
In the following conditions, the system may not recognize the command
properly and using speech commands may not be possible:
• The command is incorrect or unclear. Note that certain words, accents or
speech patterns may be difficult for the system to recognize.
• There is excessive background noise, such as wind noise.
When searching for a track
A USB memory or iPod must be connected to enable track searching and
playback. (P. 510, 521)
When a USB memory or iPod is connected, recognition data is created so
tracks can be searched using speech commands.
Recognition data is updated under the following conditions:
• When the USB memory or iPod data has changed.
• When the voice recognition language is changed. (P. 386)
While the recognition data is being created or being updated, a track search
cannot be performed using a speech command.
When “Play music” is dimmed in the “Shortcuts” screen, it is not possible
to search for a track using a speech command. In this situation, reduce the
amount of music data in the USB memory or iPod and update the recogni-
tion data to enable searching by speech command.
