Voice Recognition and Phone
Contact Tips:
The Kia Voice Recognition System
may have difficulty understanding
some accents or uncommon names.
When using Voice Recognition to
place a call, speak in a moderate
tone, with clear pronunciation.
To maximize the use of Voice
Recognition, consider these guide-
lines when storing contacts:
Do not store single-name entries (e.g., “Bob”, “Mom”, etc.). Instead,
always use full names (including
first and last names) for these con-
tacts.
Do not use special characters (e.g., '@', '-', '*', '&', etc.).
Do not use abbreviations (i.e., use "Lieutenant" instead of "Lt.") or
acronyms (i.e., use "County
Finance Department" instead of
"C. F. D."; Be sure to say the name
exactly as it is entered in the con-
tacts list.
