Voice Recognition
✽ ✽
NOTICE
-
Using the Voice Recognition
• Voice recognition is a safety tech-
nology that recognizes user voice
commands and executes multime-
dia functions during driving.
• Unfortunately, due to technical limitations, the system is unable to
recognize all voice commands. To
address these limitations, the voice
commands that the system recog-
nizes are displayed on the screen.
Use the displayed commands.
• Because human speech varies, voice recognition is sometimes
unable to properly recognize user
voice commands. In these cases,
repeat the voice command dis-
played on the screen, or use the
button on the screen to execute the
desired function.
Precautions to ensure smooth voice
recognition
If the language setting is Korean,
voice recognition is not supported.
Voice recognition only supports voice commands indicated on-
screen or in the user manual.
For proper voice recognition, speak after the beep, which
sounds after voice notification.
Voice recognition automatically stops in the following events.
1) Outgoing and incoming phone calls.
2) Media (USB, etc.) is connected (voice recognition mode is main-
tained when iPod
®s are connected).
3) Rear camera is activated
(if
equipped)
.
4) Vehicle is started or engine is turned off.
5) Screen transition buttons, such as [RADIO] or [MEDIA], are
selected.
6) When a pop-up message is dis- played on the screen due to
accidental execution of the voice
recognition function. The voice recognition microphone
is located above the driver’s seat.
To ensure proper voice recogni-
tion, state voice commands while
maintaining proper driving posture.
Better voice recognition is possible if you speak naturally and clearly,
as you would in normal conversa-
tion.
In the following situations, outdoor noise may prevent proper voice
recognition.
1) Wind noise from an open win- dow or sunroof may disrupt
voice recognition.
2) Operating the climate blower at a high level may cause wind
noise that disrupts voice recog-
nition. The recommended set-
ting is 3 or below.
3) When passing through tunnels, vehicle echoes may disrupt
voice recognition.
4) When passing over uneven ter- rain, vehicle noise may disrupt
voice recognition.
5) Noise from rain in heavy storms may disrupt voice recognition.

involves some waiting time. To run
the function immediately to select
the commands displayed on the
screen.
This feature is useful if the voice prompt takes too long or the sys-
tem fails to properly recognize your
voice commands.

D (Drive)
This is the normal forward driving
position. The transaxle will automati-
cally shift through a 6-gear
sequence, providing the best fuel
economy and power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or climbing grades, depress
the accelerator fully, at which time the
transaxle will automatically downshift
to the next lower gear.
Sports mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or
in motion, sports mode is selected by
pushing the shift lever from the D
(Drive) position into the manual gate.
To return to D (Drive) range opera-
tion, push the shift lever back into the
main gate.In sports mode, moving the shift
lever backwards and forwards will
allow you to make gearshifts rapidly.
In contrast to a manual transaxle, the
sports mode allows gearshifts with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
Up (+) : Push the lever forward once
to shift up one gear.
Down (-) : Pull the lever backwards once to shift down one
gear.

When the clutch is overheated, the
safe protection mode engages and
the gear position indicator on the
cluster blinks with a chime. At this
time, “Transmission temp. is high!
Stop safely” warning message will
appear on the LCD display and
driving may not be smooth.
If this occurs, pull over to a safe location, stop the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the brakes
and shift the vehicle to P (Park),
and allow the transmission to cool.
If you ignore this warning, the driv- ing condition may become worse.
You may experience abrupt shifts,
frequent shifts, or jerkiness. To
return to the normal driving condi-
tion, stop the vehicle and apply the
foot brake or shift into P (Park).
Then allow the transmission to cool
for a few minutes with engine on,
before driving off.
When possible, drive the vehicle smoothly.
Transmission overheated If the vehicle continues to be driv-
en and the clutch temperatures
reach the maximum temperature
limit, the " Transmission Hot! Park
with engine on" warning will be dis-
played. When this occurs the clutch
is disabled until the clutch cools to
normal temperatures.
The warning will display a time to wait for the transmission to cool.
If this occurs, pull over to a safe location, stop the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the brakes
and shift the vehicle to P (Park),
and allow the transmission to cool.
When the message "Trans cooled. Resume driving.“ appears you can
continue to drive your vehicle.
When possible, drive the vehicle smoothly.
If any of the warning messages in
the LCD display continue to blink, for
your safety, have the system
checked by a professional workshop.
