1. VOICE COMMAND SYSTEM OPERATION
2. NATURAL LANGUAGE UNDERSTANDING*
Due to natural language speech
recognition technology, this system
recognizes commands when spoken
naturally. (If a Toyota Entune
subscription has been entered, the
system will be able to connect to the
Toyota Entune center and the range of
naturally spoken English which can be
recognized will be increased.)
However, the system cannot recognize
every variation of each command. In
some situations, it is possible to omit
the command for the procedure and
directly state the desired operation.
Not all voice commands are displayed
in the function menu.
To use this function, a subscription to
the Toyota Entune is necessary.
Contact your Toyota dealer for details.
*: Entune Premium Audio with DCM only
