•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”)
•The system may register or pair multiple Bluetooth® devices. See the Car Infotainment System Quick Reference Guide for more information on setup and limitations
•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 sunroof and turn off A /C – open windows, sunroof, weather (wind/rain), or an A /C fan operating at higher speeds can inter fere with Voice Recognition
