BEFORE STARTING
To get the best recognition performance from
Voice Recognition, observe the following items.
. The interior of the vehicle should be as quiet
as possible. Close the windows to eliminate
the surrounding noises (traffic noise, vibra-
tion sounds, etc.) , which may prevent the
system from correctly recognizing the voice
commands.
. Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a
command.
. Speak in a natural conversational voice
without pausing between words. .
The system cannot recognize voice com-
mands spoken from passenger seats.

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”.
