Troubleshooting for Voice Recognition
If you do not understand an operation
method while in the voice recognition
mode, say “Tutorial” or “Help”.
Commands useable anytime during
voice recognition
“Go Back” and “Cancel” are commands
which can be used at anytime during voice
recognition.
Returning to previous operation
To return to the previous operation, say,
“Go Back” while in voice recognition
mode.
Cancel
To put the Bluetooth
® Hands-Free system
in standby mode, say, “Cancel” while in
voice recognition mode.
To prevent a deterioration in the voice
recognition rate and voice quality, the
following points should be observed:
 




The voice recognition cannot be
performed while voice guidance or
the beep sound is operating. Wait
until the voice guidance or the beep
sound is ¿ nished before saying your
commands.
 


 Phone related commands are available
only when your phone is connected via
Bluetooth
® . Make sure your phone is
connected via Bluetooth ® before you
operate phone related voice commands.
 


 Music play commands, such as Play
Artist and Play Album can be used only
in USB audio mode.
 


 Do not speak too slowly or loudly (no
loud voice).
 


 Speak clearly, without pausing between
words or numbers.
 


 Dialects or different wording other
than hands-free prompts cannot be
recognised by voice recognition. Speak
in the wording speci¿ ed by the voice
commands.
 


 It is not necessary to face the
microphone or approach it. Speak the
voice commands while maintaining a
safe driving position.
 


 Close the windows and/or the
convertible top to reduce loud noises
from outside the vehicle, or turn down
the airÀ ow of the air-conditioning
system while Bluetooth
® Hands-Free is
being used.
 


 Make sure the vents are not directing air
up towards the microphone.
NOTE
If the voice recognition performance is
not satisfactory.

“Mazda”.
  Before you pair your device, make sure that Bluetooth ® is “ON”, both on your phone
and on the vehicle.
  If Bluetooth ® -enabled devices are used in the following locations or conditions,
connection via Bluetooth ® may not be possible.

Voice recognition related problems
Symptom Cause Solution method
Poor voice recognition
Excessive, slow speech. Excessive, forceful speech
(shouting).
 Speaking before the beep sound
has ended.
Loud noise (speaking or noise from
outside/inside vehicle).
 A i rÀ ow from A/C is blowing
against the microphone.
Speaking in off-standard
expressions (dialect). Regarding the causes indicated
on the left, be careful with how
you speak. In addition, when
numbers are spoken in a sequence,
recognition ability will improve
if no stop is placed between the
numbers. False recognition of numbers
Poor voice recognition There is a malfunction in the
microphone. A poor connection or malfunction
with the microphone may have
occurred. Consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.
Phone-related voice recognition is
disabled There is a problem with the
connection between the Bluetooth
®
unit and the device. If there is any malfunction after
checking the pairing situation, check
for device pairing or connection
problems.
Names in the phonebook are not
easily recognised The Bluetooth
® system is under a
condition in which recognition is
dif¿ cult. By carrying out the following
measures, the rate of recognition
will improve. Clear memory from the phonebook
which is not used very often.
 Avoid shortened names, use full
names. (Recognition improves the
longer the name is. By not using
names such as “Mum”, “Dad”,
recognition will improve.)
When operating the audio, a song
name is not recognised Song names cannot be recognised
by voice. —
You want to skip guidance — Guidance can be skipped by quickly
pressing and releasing the Talk
button.
Regarding problems with calls
Symptom Cause Solution method
When starting a call, vehicle noise
from the other party can be heard For about three seconds after
starting a call, the Bluetooth
®
unit's Noise Suppression function
requires time to adapt to the call
environment. This does not indicate a problem
with the device.
The other party cannot be heard or
the speaker's voice is quiet The volume is set at zero or low. Increase the volume.
