Voice Recognition* and Phone Contact Tips
The system may have difficulty understanding some accents or uncommon names. Improve the per formance by making a few simple changes to your phone contacts, listed below. To help optimize the Bluetooth® Wireless Technology Voice Recognition system, see other tips and reminders under Quick Tips.
•Use full names (first and last names) vs. short or single-syllable names (“John Smith” vs. “Dad,” “Smith Residence” vs. “Home”)
•Avoid using special characters, emojis or hyphenated names (@, &, #, /, -, *, +, etc.)
•Avoid using acronyms (“In Case of Emergency” vs. “ICE”) or words with all capital letters
•Spell words completely, no abbreviations (“Doctor Smith” vs. “Dr. Smith”)
•The system may register or pair multiple Bluetooth® devices. See the Car Infotainment System Quick Reference Guide for more information on setup and limitations
•Bluetooth® Music Streaming – If the Bluetooth® music is inaudible or too low, you may need to turn up the volume on the connected phone
•When placing a call, speak in a natural, moderate tone, with clear pronunciation. The system may have trouble recognizing commands if you speak too softly or too loudly
•Always wait for the beep before speaking any commands
•Close windows and sunroof and turn off A /C – open windows, sunroof, weather (wind/rain), or an A /C fan operating at higher speeds can inter fere with Voice Recognition
•Press the talk but ton and say “Help” to get a list of available commands
