INFORMATION
●The voice command system can be
operated while guidance is being spo-
ken, when “Voice Prompt Interrupt”
( P.59) is set to on. (It is not necessary
to wait for the confirmation beep before
speaking a command.)
● When voice interruption mode is turned
on, it is easier to pick up external noise
because the multimedia system is
always ready for a command.
● Voice commands may not be recognized
if:
• Spoken too quickly.
• Spoken at a low or high volume.
• The windows are open.
• Passengers are talking while voice
commands are spoken.
• The air conditioning speed is set high.
• The air conditioning vents are turned towards the microphone.
● In the following conditions, the system
may not recognize the command prop-
erly and using voice commands may not
be possible:
• The command is incorrect or unclear.
Note that certain words, accents or
speech patterns may be difficult for the
system to recognize.
• There is excessive background noise, such as wind noise.
● Select “Train Voice Recognition” on
“Voice Settings” screen ( P.59). This
feature is used by the multimedia sys-
tem to learn the user’s accent, which
can increase the voice recognition per-
formance.

tion etc. in the place of the “<>”.

skipped.
● Even if the state set using voice recogni-
tion is different from the set state in the
“Address” screen (which was set when a
destination was set manually), the set
state in the “Address” screen will not
change. ( P.248)
