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 specified 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.
