may be given to
vehicle operation.*
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 on
going in the car 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 the correct voice commands are being
used. Glance at the screen to see the currently
available commands.
7. Train the system using the Speaker Adaptation Mode. See your Owner’s \
Manual for
detailed information.
