Voice activation system
The voice recognition function allows you to operate the navigation
system, audio system and hands-free phone system using your voice
instead of display screen handling. This section includes instructions
about how to perform the voice commands. The commands that can
be recognized by this system are restricted. (See Page 222.) For each
function, refer to the corresponding items.
■Correct voice recognition
The interior circumstances of the vehicle will adversely affect the cor-
rect recognition of the voice. Note the following items in order for the
system to correctly recognize the voice.
•Speak clearly into the microphone. Speaking faster or slower and
pausing between words will cause incorrect recognition.
•Close the windows to eliminate outside noise. Traffic noises, driv-
ing sounds and wind noises may affect correct recognition of the
voice.
•Speak the voice commands correctly. The commands that can be
recognized by this system are restricted. Any terms other than
the recognized terms for the system or dull sounds that are incor-
rectly spoken will not be recognized by the system. If the name
of a facility is pronounced different from the recognized terms for
the system, the command will not be recognized by the system.
•The microphone is located at the best distance and in the best
direction for each model to gain the maximum voice recognition
performance. Speak commands in a correct driving posture.
•Do not speak commands during navigation voice guidance. This
causes sounds to overlap and results in incorrect voice recogni-
tion.
Basic operations of voice recognition

The voice recognition mode is activated, and the icon of voice
recognition will be displayed on the upper left side of the screen.
