To prevent mistaken voice recognition, be aware of the following points:
When you are using a mobile phone connected via Bluetooth®, the commands relevant to
the mobile phone can be used. Connect your mobile phone to Blue tooth
® before operating
the mobile phone using voice recognition.
Speaking in a slightly louder voice will improve voice recognit ion, but an excessively
loud voice is unnecessary. Try t o speak in a slightly louder voice than when talking to
other passengers in the vehicle.
You do not need to speak slowly. Speak at a normal speed.
When calling a person in the device's phone book, the recognition rate increases the
longer the name is. Errors may occur with names that are short such as “Mama”, “Home”,
or “wife”.
Speak clearly, without pausing between words or numbers.
Voice commands other than those specified, cannot be recognized . Speak in the wording
specified by the voice commands.
It is not necessary to face the microphone or approach it. Spea k the voice commands
while maintaining a safe driving position.
Close the windows and the moonro of to reduce loud noises from outside the vehicle and
to prevent the airflow of the a ir-conditioning system from bein g a disturbance when using
Bluetooth
® Hands-Free.
Make sure that the air flow from the air conditioner is not blowing on the microphone.
When making voice commands during a voice guidance, speak in a slightly louder voice.
But, an excessively loud voice is unnecessary.
If the voice recognition is poor with the guidance volume set t o high, set the Barge-In to
OFF.

Cell Phones Warning
▼Cell Phones Warning
WA R N I N G
Please comply with the legal regulations
concerning the use of communication
equipment in vehicles in your country:
Use of any electrical devices such as cell
phones, computers, portable radios,
vehicle navigation or other devices by the
driver while the vehicle is moving is
dangerous. Dialing a number on a cell
phone while driving also ties-up the driver's
hands. Use of these devices will cause the
driver to be distracted and could lead to a
serious accident. If a
passenger is unable to
use the device, pull off the right-of-way to a
safe area before use. If use of a cell phone is
necessary despite this warning, use a
hands-free system to at least leave the
hands free to drive the vehicle. Never use a
cell phone or other electrical devices while
the vehicle is moving and, instead,
concentrate on the full-time job of driving.
