The system may not recognize the voice command if:
• You speak too quickly or at a low or high volume.
• You are driving with a window open, the climate control system set on high or have the
ventilator directed toward the microphone.
• Passengers are talking while you are saying a voice command.
In some cases, you may not be able to use voice commands if the system cannot properly
recognize the command. Examples are:
• The command is incorrect or unclear. NOTE: Certain words, accents or speech patterns may be difficult for the system to recognize.
