Creating a suitable cabin environment
When using the voice recognition feature, only commands listed within the user's manual are supported.

Be aware that during the operation of the voice recognition sys-tem, pressing some keys other than the
key will terminate
voice recognition mode.

For superior voice recognition performance, position the micro- phone used for voice recognition above the head of the driver’s
seat and maintain a proper position when saying commands.

Within the following situations, voice recognition may not func-tion properly due to external sound.
• When the windows and sunroof are open
• When the wind of the cooling/heating device is strong
• When entering and passing through tunnels
• When driving on rugged and uneven roads
• During severe rain (heavy rains, windstorms)
After downloading the Bluetooth® contacts, it takes some times
to convert the contacts into voice information. During this time,
voice recognition may not properly operate.



Pronounce the voice commands naturally and clearly as if in a normal conversation.
The system may slow down slightly when using the Navigation to calculate a new route or re-calculating an existing route. In
such cases, use voice recognition features after waiting a few
moments.
