To prevent misunderstood voice commands, be aware of the following points:
Connect your mobile phone to Bluetooth® before operating the mobile phone
using voice recognition.
After pressing the talk/pick-up button, wait for the beep before speaking a
command.
Speaking in a slightly louder voice will improve voice recognition, but an
excessively loud voice is unnecessary. Try to speak in a slightly louder voice than
when talking to other passengers in the vehicle.
You do not need to speak slowly. Speak at a normal speed.When calling a person in the device's phone book, the recognition rate increases
the longer the name is. Errors may oc cur with names that are short such as
“Mama”, “Home”, or “wife”.
Speak clearly, without pausing between words or numbers.Voice commands other than those specified, cannot be recognized. Speak in the
wording speci fied by the voice commands.
It is not necessary to face the microphone or approach it. Speak the voice
commands while maintaining a safe driving position.
Close the windows and the moonroof* to reduce loud noises from outside the
vehicle and to prevent the air flow of the air-conditioning system from being a
disturbance when using Bluetooth
® Hands-Free.Make sure that the air flow from the air conditioner is not blowing on the
microphone.
If the voice recognition is poor with th e guidance volume set to high, set the
Barge-In to OFF.
