6-2 I Voice Recognition
What is V
The voice recognition feature operates the
\fu\bti\fedia syste\f by recognizing voice
co\f\fands and enab\bes hands-free oper-
ation of the syste\f whi\be you are driving
your car.
Not a\b\b possib\be voice co\f\fands are rec -
ognized by the syste\f due to\u techno\bogica\b
\bi\fitations. To \fake up for these \bi\fitation\us,
the syste\f disp\bays the voice co\f\fands
that are avai\bab\be for you to use.
There are errors in co\f\funication between
peop\be. Likewise, voice recognition so\fe-
ti\fes \fisunderstands your voice co\f\fand
in so\fe circu\fstances. If this happens,
either check the screen for the avai\bab\be
options and say the co\f\fand again, or
\fanua\b\by se\bect and press the button for the
corresponding co\f\fa\und on the screen.
Pr
for Successful V
Recognition
1. Voice recognition supports on\by the
co\f\fands that are disp\bayed on the
screen and written in the User's\u Guide.
2. To ensure the correct recognition and
execution of your co\f\fand, say your
co\f\fand when you hear the beep after
a voice pro\fpt.
3. Voice recognition a\uuto\fatica\b\by ends if\u:
1) A ca\b\b is inco\fing o\ur outgoing
2) A \fedia device (USB or iPod, etc.) is
connected or disc\uonnected
3) The rear view ca\fera is operated
(optiona\b)
4) The car engine sta\urts or stops
5) A syste\f key, such as RADIO key
or
MEDIA key is se\bected

4. The \ficrophone used for the voice
recognition syste\f is \bocated in the
head\biner direct\by above the driver's
head. To \fake your co\f\fands better
understood, keep your body straight
in the driver's seat when speaking the
co\f\fand.
5. Speaking natur a\b\by and c\bear\by wi\b\b
ensure better recognition of your voice
co\f\fands.
6. In the fo\b\bowing cases voice recognition
wi\b\b be affected by a\fbient noise.
1) The sound of the wind if any window
or the sun roof is\u open.
2) High speed b\bower fro\f the air vents.
Set c\bi\fate contro\b to b\bow \bower than
\beve\b 3.
3) Vibrations fro\f passing through a
tunne\b.
4) Vibrations fro\f driving on an uneven
road.
5) Stor\fs and heavy rain.
