cedure, the procedure will be cancelled.
You can register up to 5 different Bluetooth

Giving voice commands
To operate voice recognition, push and release
thebutton located on the steering wheel.
After the tone sounds, speak a command.
The command given is picked up by the
microphone, and voice feedback is given when
the command is accepted.
. If you need to hear the available commands
for the current menu again, say “Help” and
the system will repeat them.
. If a command is not recognized, the system
announces, “Command not recognized.
Please try again.” Make sure the command

is said exactly as prompted by the system
and repeat the command in a clear voice.
. If you want to go back to the previous
command, you can say “Go back” or
“Correction” any time the system is waiting
for a response.

system is waiting for a response by saying,
“Cancel” or “Quit.” The system announces
“Cancel” and ends the VR session. You can
also push and hold the

command. Otherwise, the command will not
be received properly.

after the tone sounds.
. Speak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.
