SYSTEM OPERATING TIPS
If the Voice Recognition system does not recognize
your voice commands:
1. Be sure to wait for the tone/beep before speaking
a command.
2. Reduce background noise as much as possible by
closing the windows and moonroof.
3. Make sure there are no other conversations in the
vehicle at the same time.
4. Lower HVAC blower fan speed and point vents
away from the ceiling microphone.
5. Speak naturally. Speaking too fast, too slow,
too soft, or too loud makes voice recognition
more difficult.
6. Confirm that the correct voice commands are
being used. Glance at the screen to see the currently available commands\
.
7. Train the system using the Voice Adaptation Mode. See your Owner’s Ma\
nual for
detailed information.
Press the or button on the steering wheel to interrupt the voice prompts at any time\
and speak a command after the tone.
For vehicles not equipped with Navigation:
• To use the system faster, you may speak the second level commands with t\
he main
menu command on the main menu. For example, press the
or on the steering
wheel button, and after the tone, say “Call Redial”.
For vehicles equipped with Navigation:
• Refer to the “Voice recognition (section 9)” of your Navigation \
System Owner’s Manual

The “Help” command can be used to hear a list of available command\
s at any time.
Reduce background noise as much as possible by closing windows and point\
ing HVAC
vents away from the ceiling.
Speak naturally without long pauses and without raising your voice.
