Instead, always use full names
(including first and last names) for
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
