the system is ready.
BEFORE STARTING
To get the best recognition performance
from voice recognition, observe the follow-
ing items.
. The interior of the vehicle should be as
quiet as possible. Close the windows to
eliminate the surrounding noises (traffic
noise, vibration sounds, etc.), which may
prevent the system from correctly re-
cognizing the voice commands.
. Wait until the tone sounds before speak-
ing a command. .
Speak in a natural conversational voice
without pausing between words.

mands spoken from passenger seats.

.Some of the commands for eachcategory are shown on the right side
of the screen and they can also be
spoken without selecting a category.

the selected category can be recog-
nized.

How to speak numbers
The Voice Recognition System requires the
user to speak numbers in a certain way when
giving voice commands.
General rule:
“500”, “800” and “900” can be pronounced
as “five hundred”, “eight hundred” and “nine
hundred” respectively.
For other numbers, only single digits “0”
(zero) to “9” can be used. (For example, for
the number “600”, speaking “six zero zero”
can be recognized by the system, but “six
hundred” cannot be recognized.)
Example:
1-800-662-6200
“One eight hundred six six two six two zero
zero”
INFO:
For the best recognition, speak “zero” for the
number “0”, and “oh” for the letter “o”.
