Contacts Sync (Phonebook Download) 
The Contacts Sync feature allows  you to choose whether your phone contact list will transfer  
to  your vehicle contacts each time your phone is connected or only at the initial phone pairing. 
To enable or disable Contacts Syncing:
QUICK   TIPS
•   If Contact Sync is set to  ON, contacts stored your phone will download each time your phone is 
     connected. There may be a delay before the system is available to place a call 
•    If Contact Sync is set to   OFF, your phone contacts will download only at the initial pairing. This 
     allows you   to make calls without waiting for your phone contact list to download
QUICK TIPS
The Kia Voice Recognition System may have diffi   culty understanding some accents or uncommon   
names. When   using Voice Recognition to  place a call, speak in a moderate tone, with clear   
pronunciation.  Voice Recognition   performance can be improved by ensuring all windows and   
sunroof are closed, and that Climate  Control System fan speed has been lowered to  reduce noise 
in the cabin. 
To maximize the use of Voice Recognition, consider these guidelines when storing contacts:
•    Do not store single-name entries (e.g., “Bob”, “Mom”, etc.). Instead, always  use  full names  
(including fi   rst and last names) for these contacts 
•  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 contacts list
