Voice Recognition System
What is voice recognition?
Voice recognition technology runs the
system as ordered by recognizing your voice
command to help with the operation of
multimedia while you are driving the car.
Regretfully, not all possible voice commands
are recognized by the system due to
technological limitations. To make up for these
limitations, the system displays the voice
commands that are available for you to use.
There are errors in communication between
people. Likewise, voice recognition sometimes
misunderstands your voice command under
certain circumstances. If this happens, either
check the screen for the available options and
say the command again, or manually select
and press the button for the corresponding
command on the screen.
Voice recognition features by
language
Voice recognition support availability varies
according to the language set for the system.
Please verify the current language setting
before using the voice recognition.
• If you change the language set for the system to Korean, voice recognition will not
be supported. Change the system language
to other language.
