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 , 21 (continued)

•The system may register or pair multiple Bluetooth® devices. See the Car Multimedia System User’s Manual for more information on setup and limitations
•Bluetooth® Music Streaming: If the Bluetooth® music is inaudible or too low, 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 sunroof and turn off A /C to reduce interference with the Voice Recognition
•Press the talk button and say “Help” to get a list of available commands
