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.
Some voice command examples corresponding to the voice recognit ion function
The specified name and number are put into the {}.
