Pr
for Successful V
Recognition
1. Voice recognition supports only
the commands that are displayed
on the screen and written in the
User’s Guide.
2. To ensure the correct recognition
and execution of your command,
say your command when you hear
the beep after a voice prompt.
3. Voice recognition automatically
ends if: 1) A call is incom\-ing or outgoing
2) A media device (U\fB or iP od, etc.)
is connected or di\-sconnected
3) The rear view camera is operated
(optional)
4) The car engine star\-ts or stops
5) A system key, such as RADIO
key or
MEDIA key is selected

4. The microphone used for the voice
recognition system is located in the
headliner directly above the driver’s
head. To make your commands
better understood, keep your body
straight in the driver’s seat when
speaking the comman\-d.
5. \fpeaking natur ally and clearly will
ensure better recognition of your
voice commands.
\b. In the following cases voice rec-
ognition will be affected by ambi -
ent noise.
1) The sound of the wind if any
window or the sun roof i\-s open.
2) High speed blower from the

Messages
When you hear the prompt mes-
sage, press the
key on the
steering wheel control to skip the
message and go directly to listening
mode to say your command.
This results in faster operation when
you feel the message is too long or
you already know the command to
use.
i Information
• Refer to Part 8 for instructions on how to
change the Voice Recognition \fe\-ttings.
Combining Voice
Recognition with
On-Screen Commands
After pressing the key, say
a command after the beep. The
voice recognition s\-ystem will execute
the desired operation after under -
standing the comman\-d.
Alternatively, you may touch any
of the corresponding Commands
on the screen while the Voice
Recognition system\- is in operation.

Combining voice recognition with
available on-screen commands
is useful when the system is tak -
ing longer than expected or the
voice command did not execute as
desired.

Types of Commands
Voice recognition commands are classified as “Global Commands” and “Local
Commands.”
1. Global Commands (
052C): Commands that can be used immediately after acti-
vating voice recognition.
2. Local Commands (
052A): Commands that can be used when a multimedia or
Bluetooth function is running, or displayed on the screen, after activating
voice recognition.
Call Commands
* Check the following before using call com\-mands:
1. Voice commands related to phone calls can be used after connecting a
Bluetooth device.
2. To call a person, for example “Call ” whose name is listed in
Contacts, you must first download the Contacts list. For details on down -
loading contacts, see “Part 3 Bluetooth > Cha\-pter 3. Bluetooth Phone > \-3.10
Contacts”.
3. After downloading the Bluetooth contacts, it will take some time to convert
the Contacts into voice data during which time you cannot make a call by
name yet. The time it takes to convert voice data may vary depending on
the number of Contacts \-downloaded on the pho\-ne.
