operation of the AV system (RADIO, 
CD, USB, iPod), navigation and other 
systems equipped on this vehicle, such 
as the phone.

mance out of voice recognition, observe

quiet as possible. Close the windows 
to eliminate the surrounding noises 
(traffic noises, vibration sounds, etc.), 
which may prevent the system from 
recognizing the voice commands cor-
rectly.
•  Wait until a beep sounds before 
speaking a command. Otherwise, 
the command will not be recognized 
properly.

ing between words.

ognition, press
