nate surrounding noises (traffic noises,

vent the system from recognizing voice
commands correctly.

“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. ∙ You can cancel a command when the

ing, “Cancel” or “Quit.” The system an-
