Voice Recognition and Phone Contact Tips
The system may have difficulty understanding 
some accents or uncommon names   Improve the 
performance by making a few simple changes 
to your phone contacts, listed below  To help 
optimize the Bluetooth® Wireless Technology Voice 
Recognition system, see other tips and reminders 
under Quick Tips: :
 •Use full names (first and last names) vs   short 
or single-syllable names (“John Smith” vs   
“Dad," “Smith Residence” vs  “Home”)
 •Avoid using special characters, emoji’s or 
hyphenated names (@, &, #, /, -, *, +, etc  )
 •Avoid using acronyms (“In Case of Emergency” 
vs  “ICE”) or words with all capital letters
 •Spell words completely, no abbreviations 
(“Doctor Smith” vs   “Dr  Smith”)
•  The system may register or pair multiple Bluetooth® devices   See the Car Infotainment System Quick Reference Guide for more information on setup and limitations 
•  Bluetooth® Music Streaming: If the Bluetooth® music is inaudible or too low, turn up the volume on the connected phone 
•  When placing a call, speak in a natural, moderate tone, with clear pronunciation   The system may have trouble recognizing commands if you speak too soft or too loud
• Always wait for the beep before speaking any commands
•  Close windows and sunroof and turn off A /C - Open windows, sunroof, weather (wind/rain), or an A /C fan operating at higher speeds can interfere with Voice Recognition
• Press the talk button and say “Help” to get a list of available commands
