For phones that support automatic down-
load of the phonebook (PBAP Bluetooth®
profile), the “Phonebook” command is used
to manage entries in the vehicle phone-
book. You can say the name of an entry at
this menu to initiate dialing of that entry.
The phonebook stores up to 1,000 names
for each phone connected to the system.
When a phone is connected to the system,
the phonebook is automatically down-
loaded to the vehicle. This feature allows
you to access your phonebook from the
Bluetooth® system and call contacts by
name. You can record a custom voice tag
for contact names that the system has dif-
ficulty recognizing.
NOTE:
Each phone has its own separate phone-
book. You cannot access Phone A’s
phonebook if you are currently con-
nected with Phone B. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Record name” in this
section.
“List Names”
A
Use the List Names command to hear all
the names and locations in the phone
book.The system recites the phone book entries
but does not include the actual phone
numbers. When the playback of the list is
complete, the system goes back to the
main menu.
You can stop the playback of the list at any
time by pressing the
button on the
steering wheel. The system ends the Voice
Recognition session. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Record name” in this sec-
tion.
“Record Name”
B
The system allows you to record custom
voice tags for contact names in the phone-
book that the vehicle has difficulty recog-
nizing. This feature can also be used to re-
cord voice tags to directly dial an entry with
multiple numbers. Up to 40 voice tags can
be recorded to the system.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The system should respond correctly to all
voice commands without difficulty. If prob-
lems are encountered, try the following so-
lutions.
Where the solutions are listed by number,
try each solution in turn, starting with num-
ber 1, until the problem is resolved.
4-62Display screen, heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems
Symptom Solution
System fails to interpret the command correctly.1. Ensure that the command is valid. For additional information, refer to “List of voice commands” in this
section.
2. Ensure that the command is spoken af ter the tone.
3. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level in
the vehicle.
4. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, windows open or defroster on).
NOTE: If it is too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that the voice commands will not be recognized.
5. If more than one command was said at a time, try saying the commands separately.
6. If the system consistently fails to recognize commands, the voice training procedure should be car-
ried out to improve the recognition response for the speaker. For additional information, refer to “Voice
Adaptation (VA) mode” in this section.
The system consistently selects the wrong entry from
the phone book.1. Ensure that the phone book entry name requested matches what was originally stored. This can be
confirmed by using the “List Names” command. For additional information, refer to “Phonebook (phones
without automatic phonebook download function)” in this section.
2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.
