within the user's manual are sup-
ported.

tion mode.
For superior voice recognition per- formance, position the microphone

the head of the driver’s seat and
maintain a proper position when
saying commands.

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
(Continued)(Continued)
- When driving on rugged and uneven roads
- During severe rain (heavy rains, windstorms)
Phone related voice commands can be used only when a
Bluetooth® Wireless Technology
device is connected.
When making calls by stating a name, the corresponding contact
must be downloaded and stored
within the audio system.
After downloading the Bluetooth® Wireless Technology phone book,
it takes some times to convert the
phone book data into voice infor-
mation. During this time, voice
recognition may not properly oper-
ate.
Pronounce the voice commands naturally and clearly as if in a nor-
mal conversation.

Instead, always use full names

all contacts (e.g., use “Jacob
Stevenson” instead of “Dad”).
2)Do not use abbreviations (i.e., use “Lieutenant” instead of “Lt.” or
“Sergeant” instead of “Sgt.”).
3)Do not use acronyms (i.e., use “County Finance Department”
instead of “CFD”).
4)Do not use special characters (e.g., “@”, “hyphen -“, “asterisk *”,
ampersand &”).
5)If a name is not recognized from the contact list, change it to a more
descriptive name (e.g., use
“Grandpa Joseph” instead of “Pa
Joe”).

Voice Recognition and Phone
Contact Tips:
The Kia Voice Recognition System
may have difficulty understanding
some accents or uncommon
names. When using Voice
Recognition to place a call, speak in
a moderate tone, with clear pronun-
ciation
To maximize the use of Voice
Recognition, consider these guide-
lines when storing contacts:
(e.g., “Bob”, “Mom”, etc.). Instead,
always use full names (including
first and last names) for these con-
tacts
'@', '-', '*', '&', etc.)
"Lieutenant" instead of "Lt.") or
acronyms (i.e., use "County
Finance Department" instead of
"C. F. D."; Be sure to say the name
exactly as it is entered in the con-
tacts list
