■ 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 com-

mands.

• 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 can-

not 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 to reduce loud noises from outside the vehi-

cle, 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 micro-

phone.

If the voice recognition performance is not satisfactory.

Refer to Troubleshooting on P. 366.
