Tips for Voice Operation

For your voice commands to be correctly recog- nized and interpreted, ensure that conditions are suitable for recognition.

Reduce the volume setting on your vehicle audio system

➲The sound volume is automatically reduced during voice operation ➞ Page 91

Close the vehicle windows

Please note that wind through the vehicle win- dow or miscellaneous noise from outside the vehicle can interfere with voice operation.

Position the microphone carefully

For optimum pick-up, the microphone should be fixed at a suitable distance directly in front of the driver.

Pause before giving a command

Speaking too soon may cause the recognition to fail.

Pronounce your commands carefully

Speak slowly, deliberately and clearly.

❒If the registered voice command and the default voice command is the same, the regis- tered voice command will take priority. In this case, the default voice command will not function. To use the default voice command, change or delete the registered voice com- mand that is identical to the default voice command.
