• Please refer to your vehicle's user manual
(Bluetooth

voice control function.
NOTE
The voice control function may have
difficulty in some environments and with
the way some people speak.
The followings will help you make the best
use of the voice control function.
• Speak loud and clear. This makes voice
recognition easier.
• When making a call, avoid saying things such as “uh”, “um, uh”, “aah”, etc. These
may be mistaken for other words.
• Close the windows. Noise from the outside can cause recognition mistakes.
• Ask everyone else in the vehicle to please be quiet while you voice-dial a
call. The voices of others in the vehicle
can cause recognition mistakes.
• Words are sometimes mistaken for other words with a similar pronunciation.
• If there is too much ambient noise, recognition mistakes may occur.
Example: Driving through a tunnel,
driving with chains on the tires
• Strong air flow from the air conditioner or heater may make recognition more
difficult.
• In the following cases, voice commands are not accepted.
- Speaking too slow or fast
- Speaking too loud or soft
- Not saying anything or pronunciation is unclear
- Spoke before the “beep”
