SYSTeM OPeRaTinG TiPS
Before Starting
To get the best possible performance out of the Voice Recognition system, observe the following:
The interior of the vehicle should be as quiet as possible. close the windows to minimize the
surrounding noises.
Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a command.
Speak in a natural conversational voice with minimal pauses between words.
if you want to repeat a step or if the system incorrectly recognized your command, push
the switch on the steering wheel or the BACK button on the instrument panel.
if the system does not recognize your command, please repeat the command again.
However, avoid raising the volume of your voice or slowing down your speech unless the
system prompts you to do so. Speaking too slowly reduces recognition accuracy.
To give commands quickly, press the switch to interrupt the voice guidance.
When speaking an address or a phone number to dial, it is possible to transfer from voice
recognition to the button control by pressing the “Manual controls” key on the screen when it
is displayed.
How to speak phone numbers
The system provides two commands for entering and dialing a phone number: “diaL” and
“inTeRnaTiOnaL caLL.” The “diaL” command is used for domestic phone numbers up to 10
digits in length starting with the area code. The “inTeRnaTiOnaL caLL” command is used
when more than 10 digits need to be dialed or when special characters are required such as *, #,
or +. When using these two commands, please follow the phone digit speaking rules below:
Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 (nine) can be spoken.
Speak digits at a normal pace. Speaking too slowly reduces recognition accuracy.
When saying the phone number 800-662-6200, the system will accept “eight zero zero” or
“eight oh oh.” 500, 700, and 900 are also supported.
The long-distance dialing prefix “1” is not required when making a call.
“diaL” cOMMand OnLY
You can say all the digits of a 7- or 10-digit phone number at one time.
for a 10-digit number, saying the phone number in groups of 3, 3, and 4 digits may improve
recognition for some speakers. To use this group dialing method, say only the first 3 digits of the
phone number. after the system recognizes the 3 three digits, it will request the next 3 digits and
finally the last 4 digits.
if a phone number is incorrectly recognized, you can try entering the phone number again
using the 3-3-4 group dialing procedure by saying, “cHanGe nuMBeR.”
“inTeRnaTiOnaL caLL” cOMMand OnLY
You can say the entire phone number at once or in groups of any digit length.
for *, #, and +, say “STaR,” “POund” or “PLuS,” respectively.
