Skipping Prompt 
Messages 
When you hear the prompt mes-
sage, press the voice recognition 
icon on the steering wheel remote 
control to skip the message and go 
directly to standby mode to say your 
command.
This results in faster operation when 
you feel the message is too long or 
you already know the command to 
use.
Quick Run of 
Voice Recognition 
(Manual Mode)
Usually, you are supposed to say 
a command to execute the desired 
operation after the voice guidance. 
However, it takes a little time to wait 
for the voice guidance. If you would 
like to activate the desired operation 
more quickly, you can just touch the 
commands displayed on the screen.
This feature is useful when you feel 
the voice guidance is too long or 
voice commands do not work as you 
desired.

Types of Commands
Voice recognition commands are classified as “Global Commands
“ and “Local Commands.”
1. Global Commands ("J
): Commands that can be used immediately after acti-
vating voice recognition.
2. Local Commands (
!¹): Commands that can be used when a multimedia, 
navigation, or Bluetooth call is running, or displayed on the screen, after 
activating voice recognition.
Phone Commands
* Check the following before using call commands :
1.   Voice commands related to phone calls can be used after connecting the 
Bluetooth device. 
2.   To call a person, for example “Call <John Smith>” whose name is listed in 
Contacts, you must first download the Contacts list. For details on down-
loading contacts, see “Part 3. Using Bluetooth > Chapter 3. Bluetooth Phone 
> 3.6 Contacts”.
3.   After downloading the Bluetooth contacts, it will take some time to convert 
the Contacts into voice data during which time you cannot make a call by 
name yet. The time it takes to convert voice data may vary depending on 
the number of Contacts downloaded on the phone.
