• The window is open, the climate control system is set on high, or the ventilation is
directed toward the microphone.
• Passengers are talking while the command is spoken.
In some cases, you may not be able to use voice commands if the system cannot properly
recognize the command. For example, the command is incorrect or unclear.

accents or speech patterns may be difficult for the system to recognize.
