How to speak numbers
The voice recognition system requires the user to
speak numbers in a certain way when giving
voice commands.
General rule:
500, 800 and 900 can be pronounced as “five
hundred”, “eight hundred” and “nine hundred”
respectively.
For other numbers, only single digits 0 (zero) to 9
can be used. (For example, for the number “600”,
speaking “six zero zero” can be recognized by
the system, but “six hundred” cannot.) Example:
1-800-662-6200
“One eight hundred six six two six two zero zero”
INFO:
For the best recognition, speak “zero” for the
number “0”, and “oh” for the letter “o”.

STEERING SCREEN
The steering screen allows you to confirm how
the vehicle responds to your driving by displaying
the results of how you operate the vehicle. The
results of your driving are displayed as a timeline
of the g-force exerted on the vehicle. Use the
displayed information to improve your steering
smoothness.
WARNING
.Use the information from the multi
function meter strictly as a reference
to make your driving more comforta-
ble. The readings are not meant to
prevent accidents caused by reckless
driving or poor driving conditions
(due to weather, road condition,
etc.) . Always obey all traffic regula-
tions and posted speed limits.
. Red zone readings are configured to
function only as a guide for smooth
driving. The readings are not in-
tended to prevent accidents caused by reckless driving.
How to view steering screen
*1CORNERING G (timeline graph of lateral g-
force):
Displays the lateral g-force exerted on the
vehicle. The horizontal readout displays
lateral g-force while the vertical readout
displays a timeline of the past 20 seconds of
driving. G-force exerted on the vehicle when
turning left is displayed on the right side of
the screen. G-force exerted on the vehicle
when turning right is displayed on the left
side of the screen. The g-force timeline will
begin to scroll down automatically after a
short period of time.
*2Red zone display:
The color of the graph will change when the
level of g-force exerted on the vehicle while
decelerating exceeds a preset level.
*3G-meter:
Displays the g-force currently being exerted
on the vehicle due to deceleration.
*4SPEED:
Displays the current driving speed.
*5STEERING:
Displays the angle of the steering wheel.
INFO:
. The extent to which the steering of the
vehicle is displayed on the meter may vary
depending on the vehicle speed.
. Due to the slope of a road, this meter may
register g-force even when the vehicle is
stopped. This is not a malfunction
. When the VDC or the ABS is activated, a
mark will appear on the far left side of the
panel (large panel only) .
. The scale of the readout is adjusted auto-
matically to accommodate readings that
exceed the upper limit of the meter.
