which can be used at anytime during voice
recognition.

Returning to previous operation

To return to the previous operation, say,
“Go Back” while in voice recognition
mode.

Cancel

To put the Bluetooth

®

 Hands-Free system

in standby mode, say, “Cancel” while in
voice recognition mode.

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 convertible
top to reduce loud noises from outside the
vehicle, or turn down the airflow of the
climate control system while Bluetooth

®

Hands-Free is being used.



Make sure the vents are not directing air
up towards the microphone.

NOTE

If the voice recognition performance is not
satisfactory.
