The tutorial explains how to use Bluetooth® Hands-Free.

To activate the tutorial, do the following:

  3. Follow the prompts to receive the appropriate voice guidance instructions.

Commands useable anytime during voice recognition

“Help” or “Go Back” are commands which can be used at anytime during voice recognition.

Help function use

The help function informs the user of all the available voice commands under the current conditions.

  2. Follow the prompts to receive the appropriate voice guidance instructions.

Returning to previous operation

This command is for returning to the previous operation while in the voice recognition mode.

Say: [Beep] “Go Back”

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.

  • Dialects or different wording other than hands-free prompts cannot be recognised 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.

  • Do not speak too slow or too loud.

  • Speak clearly, without pausing between words or numbers.

  • Close the windows to reduce loud noises from outside the vehicle, or turn down the airflow of the air-conditioning system while Bluetooth® Hands-Free is being used.

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