Voice Recognition
Avoiding Voice Recognition Errors.Read the notes listed below to allow the Voice Recognition function to recognize your voice properly.l
Speak a voice command clearly.
l Keep yourself in a safe driving position. Do not face or approach the microphone to make a 
voice command recognizable. 
Voice recognition may fail to recognize your command due to voice tone. If this happens, 
change the tone of your voice by speaking more loudly and clearly.
l Keep the inside of the vehicle quiet when making a voice command. Your command may be 
compromised by noises made by people, blinkers, the horn, vehicle vibration, and noises 
from outside the vehicle.
l Use the language you selected in voice recognition.
The following voice commands can be used with voice control.
( ): Say any one of the commands separated by a / (slash) within this type of parentheses. 
[]: Recognizes without saying the command in “[]”
“/”: Recognizes when saying either commands before and after “/”
*Triple A stands for AAA. If the command is not spoken as indicated (Triple A), the system will  not recognize the command.
