Convenient operating tips for using the voice recognition function

Examples of effective voice commands in various categories are displayed on top screen of the voice recognition.

It would be convenient to know these usable voice commands in advance.

To prevent mistaken voice recognition, be aware of the following points:

• When you are using a mobile phone connected via Bluetooth^®, the commands relevant to the mobile phone can be used. Connect your mobile phone to Bluetooth^® before operating the mobile phone using voice recognition.

• Speaking in a slightly louder voice will improve voice recognition, but an excessively loud voice is unnecessary. Try to speak in a slightly louder voice than when talking to other passengers in the vehicle.

• 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 occur 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 recognised. 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 the sunroof to reduce loud noises from outside the vehicle and to prevent the airflow of the air-conditioning system from being a disturbance when using Bluetooth^® Hands-Free.

• Make sure that the air flow from the air conditioner is not blowing on the microphone.

• When making voice commands during a voice guidance, speak in a slightly louder voice. But, an excessively loud voice is unnecessary.

• If the voice recognition is poor with the guidance volume set to high, set the Barge-In to OFF.
