ing:
●Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible. Close the windows to eliminate the
surrounding noises (traffic noises, vibration
sounds, etc.) , which may prevent the system
from recognizing the voice commands
correctly.
●Wait until a tone sounds before speaking a
command. Otherwise, the command will not
be recognized properly.
●Speak in a natural voice without pausing be-
tween words.
●If the air conditioner is set to “Auto”, the fan
speed is automatically lowered so that your
voice commands can be recognized more
easily.
