Using Voice Recognition
Starting Voice Recognition
Shortly press the key on the
steering wheel Say a command.
If voice recognition is in [Normal
Mode], then the system will say
“Please say a command. Beep~”

To change the Normal Mode/Expert Mode setting, go to [System] [Voice Recognition
System].
✽✽ NOTICE
For proper recognition, say the com-
mand after the voice insttction and
beep tone.
Phonebook List Best Practice
1) Do not store single-name entries (e.g., “Bob”, “Mom”, “Kim”, etc.).
Instead, always use full names
(including first and last names) for
phonebook (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 phonebook, change it to a
more descriptive name (e.g., use
“Grandpa Joseph” instead of “PaJoe”).

Voice Recognition and Phonebook 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 pronunciation.
To maximize the use of Voice Recognition, consider these guide-
lines when storing contacts:
Do not store single-name entries(e.g., “Bob”, “Mom”, etc.). Instead,
always use full names (including first
and last names) for these contacts.
Do not use special characters (e.g., '@', '-', '*', '&', etc.).
Do not use abbreviations (i.e., use "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 isentered in the contacts list.
