Voice Recognition and Phone Contact Tips
The Kia Voice Recognition System may 
have difficulty understanding some accents 
or uncommon names  When using Voice 
Recognition to place a call, speak in a 
moderate tone, with clear pronunciation   
Help your Bluetooth® Wireless Technology 
Voice Recognition performance by making a 
few simple changes to your phone 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”)
