QUICK TIPS
The Kia Voice Recognition System may have dif  culty understanding 
some accents or uncommon names. When using Voice Recognition to 
place a call, speak in a moderate tone, with clear pronunciation. Voice 
Recognition performance can be improved by ensuring all windows and 
sunroof are closed, and that Climate Control System fan speed has been 
lowered to reduce noise in the cabin.
To maximize the use of Voice Recognition, consider these guidelines 
when storing contacts:
•  Use full names vs. short or single syllable names (“John Smith” vs. 
“Dad”, “Smith Residence” vs. “Home”)
•  Avoid using special characters or hyphens (@, &, #, /, -, *, +, etc.)
•  Avoid using acronyms (“In Case Emergency” vs. “ICE”)
•  Spell words completely, no abbreviations (“Doctor Goodman” vs. 
“Dr. Goodman”)
NOTE: Always wait for the beep before speaking any commands.
