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 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 
vehicle 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 that the correct voice commands are 
being used. Glance at the screen to see the currently available commands\
.
   7.  Train the system using the Voice Adaptation Mode. See your Owner’s Ma\
nual 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  on the steering 
wheel button, 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. 
    Reduce background noise as much as possible by closing windows and point\
ing HVAC 
vents away from the ceiling.
    Speak naturally without long pauses and without raising your voice.
    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”.
