MANUAL CONTROLS
While using the Voice Recognition system, it is
possible to select menu options by using the
steering wheel controls instead of speaking voice
commands. This can be especially helpful if the
noise of driving makes it difficult for Voice Rec-
ognition system to accurately interpret com-
mands. The manual control mode does not allow
dialing a phone number by digits. The user may
select an entry from the Phonebook or Recent
Calls lists. To re-activate Voice Recognition, exit
the manual control mode by pressing and holding
the PHONE/END (
) button. At the time,
pressing the PHONE/SEND (
) button will
start the Hands Free Phone System.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The system should respond correctly to all voice
commands without difficulty. If problems are en-
countered, try the following solutions.
Where the solutions are listed by number, try
each solution in turn, starting with number 1, until
the problem is resolved.
Symptom Solution
System fails to interrupt the command correctly. 1. Ensure that the command is valid. For additional information, refer to “Voice commands”
in this section.
2. Ensure that the command is spoken after the tone.
3. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient
noise level in the vehicle.
4. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, windows open or de-
froster on) . NOTE: if it is too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that the voice commands
will not be recognized.
5. If more than one command was said at a time, try saying the commands separately.
6. If the system consistently fails to recognize commands, the voice training procedure
should be carried out to improve the recognition response for the speaker.
The system consistently selects the wrong entry from the phone book. 1. Ensure that the phone book entry name requested matches what was originally stored.
This can be confirmed by using the “List Names” command. For additional information,
refer to “Phonebook” in this section.
2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.
3. Say First Name and Last Name of the desired contact to improve recognition.
