Voice Recognition and Phone Contact Tips
The system may have difficulty understanding some accents or uncommon
names. Improve the performance by making a few simple changes to your
phone contacts, listed below. To help optimize the Bluetooth® Wireless
Technology Voice Recognition system, see other tips and reminders under
Quick Tips.
• Use full names (first and last names) vs. short or single-syllable names
(“John Smith” vs. “Dad,” “Smith Residence” vs. “Home”)
• Avoid using special characters, emojis or hyphenated names
(@, &, #, /, -, *, +, etc.)
• Avoid using acronyms (“In Case of Emergency” vs. “ICE”) or words with all
capital letters
• Spell words completely, no abbreviations (“Doctor Smith” vs. “Dr. Smith”)
Bluetooth® Wireless Technology† 5 ,19 (continued)
• Bluetooth® Music Streaming – If the Bluetooth® music is inaudible or too low, you may need to turn up the volume on the connected phone
• When placing a call, speak in a natural, moderate tone, with clear pronunciation. The system may have trouble recognizing commands if you speak too softly or too loudly
• Always wait for the beep before speaking any commands
• Close windows and turn off A /C – Open windows, weather (wind/rain), or an A /C fan operating at higher speeds can interfere with Voice Recognition
• Press the talk button and say “Help” to get a list of available commands
