■ When using the microphone
●It is unnecessary to speak directly into the microphone when giving a com-
mand.
● When “Voice Prompt Interrupt” is set on, it is not necessary to wait for the
confirmation beep before speaking a command. ( →P. 348)
● Voice commands may not be recognized if:
• They are spoken too quickly.
• They are spoken at a low or high volume.
• The roof or windows are open.
• Passengers are talking while voice commands are spoken.
• The air conditioning speed is set high.
• The air conditioning vents are turned towards the microphone.
● In the following conditions, the system may not recognize the command
properly and using voice commands may not be possible:
• The command is incorrect or unclear. Note that certain words, accents or
speech patterns may be difficult for the system to recognize.
• There is excessive background noise, such as wind noise.
Due to natural language speech recognition technology, this system
enables recognition of a command when spoken naturally. However,
the system cannot recognize ev ery variation of each command.
In some situations, it is possibl e to omit the command for the proce-
dure and directly state the desired operation.
Not all voice commands are displayed in the shortcut menu.
This function is available in English, Spanish and French.
