Voice Recognition & Phone Contact Tips
To help optimize the Bluetooth® Wireless Technology Voice Recognition system, below are some tips and reminders. Improve the performance by making a few simple changes to your phone contacts:
• 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, emojis 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 have difficulty understanding some accents or uncommon names. Below are other tips to optimize using the voice recognition
REMINDERS:
• Pressing the “Talk” button the steering wheel and stating the command “HELP” will provide a list of commands available for the current mode
• 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
For any questions regarding the features of your vehicle, please contact your preferred Kia dealer or Kia Consumer Affairs at (800) 333-4542
