Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System
A cellular telephone should not be used
while driving so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.*
SYSTEM OPERATING TIPS

If the Voice Recognition system does not recognize
your voice commands:
1. Be sure to wait for the tone/beep before speaking
a voice command.
2. Reduce background noise as much as possible by
closing the windows and moonroof.
3. Make sure there are no other conversations in the
car at the same time.
4. Lower HVAC blower fan speed and point vents
away from the ceiling microphone.
5. Speak naturally. Speaking too fast, too slow, too soft,
or too loud makes voice recognition more difficult.
6. Confirm the correct voice commands are being
used. Glance at the screen to see the currently
available commands.
7. Train the system using the Speaker Adaptation Mode. See your Owner’s \
Manual for
detailed information.

Press the or button on the steering wheel to interrupt the voice prompts at any
time and speak a command after the tone.

For vehicles not equipped with Navigation:
• To use the system faster, you may speak the second level commands with t\
he main
menu command on the main menu. For example, press the
or button on the
steering wheel, and after the tone, say “Call Redial”.

For vehicles equipped with Navigation:
• Refer to the “Voice recognition (section 9)” of your Navigation \
System Owner’s Manual
for more information.

The “Help” command can be used to hear a list of available command\
s at any time.

When speaking phonebook names, please be aware some cellular phones requ\
ire the last
name to be spoken before the first name. For example, “Michael Smith”\
may be spoken as
“Smith Michael”.

To cancel a Voice Recognition session, simply wait 5 seconds, say “Ca\
ncel” or “Quit” or
press and hold the
or button on the steering wheel for 5 seconds.
