To help optimize the Bluetooth® Wireless Technology Voice Recognition system, below are some tips and reminders. Improve the performance by making a few simple changes to your phone contacts:
• 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”)Snap this tag with a QR code reader app on your smart phone to view a video.
• Pressing the “Talk” button the steering wheel and stating the command “HELP” will provide a list of commands available for the current mode
• When placing a call, speak in a natural, moderate tone, with clear pronunciation. The system may have trouble recognizing commands if you speak too soft or too loud
• 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 interfere with Voice Recognition
• Press the talk button and say “Help” to get a list of available commands
ReminderThe system may have difficulty understanding some accents or uncommon names. Below are other tips to optimize using the voice recognition
