To prevent a deterioration in the voice 

recognition rate and voice quality, the 

following points should be observed:



The voice recognition cannot be 

performed while voice guidance or 

the beep sound is operating. Wait 

until the voice guidance or the beep 

sound is finished before saying your 

commands.



 Phone related commands are available 

only when your phone is connected via 

Bluetooth

®

. Make sure your phone is 

connected via Bluetooth

®

 before you 

operate phone related voice commands.



 Music play commands, such as Play 

Artist and Play Album can be used only 

in USB audio mode.



 Do not speak too slowly or loudly (no 

loud voice).



 Speak clearly, without pausing between 

words or numbers.



 Dialects or different wording other 

than hands-free prompts cannot be 

recognized by voice recognition. 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.



 Close the windows and/or the moonroof 

to reduce loud noises from outside 

the vehicle, or turn down the airflow 

of the air-conditioning system while

up towards the microphone.

satisfactory.
