Convenient operating tips for us ing the voice recognition function
Examples of effective voice commands in various categories are displayed on the voice
recognition screen.
NOTE
The voice command examples shown in this manual are only a partial list of the available
commands. Some commands may be unusable depending on the vehicle specifications.
Some commands cannot be used depending on the device connection conditions and the
use conditions.
When the Barge-In setting is on, voice commands can be made even while the voice
guidance is being announced. For details on Barge-In, refer to the System Settings section
in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
For details on voice commands which can be used on the navigation screen, refer to the
navigation system manual.
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 occur 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
specified by the voice commands.
