Voice Recognition
✽ ✽
NOTICE
-
Using the Voice Recognition
• Voice recognition is a safety tech-
nology that recognizes user voice
commands and executes multime-
dia functions during driving.
• Unfortunately, due to technical limitations, the system is unable to
recognize all voice commands. To
address these limitations, the voice
commands that the system recog-
nizes are displayed on the screen.
Use the displayed commands.
• Because human speech varies, voice recognition is sometimes
unable to properly recognize user
voice commands. In these cases,
repeat the voice command dis-
played on the screen, or use the
button on the screen to execute the
desired function.
Precautions to ensure smooth voice
recognition
If the language setting is Korean,
voice recognition is not supported.
Voice recognition only supports voice commands indicated on-
screen or in the user manual.
For proper voice recognition, speak after the beep, which
sounds after voice notification.
Voice recognition automatically stops in the following events.
1) Outgoing and incoming phone calls.
2) Media (USB, etc.) is connected (voice recognition mode is main-
tained when iPod
®s are connected).
3) Rear camera is activated
(if
equipped)
.
4) Vehicle is started or engine is turned off.
5) Screen transition buttons, such as [RADIO] or [MEDIA], are
selected.
6) When a pop-up message is dis- played on the screen due to
accidental execution of the voice
recognition function. The voice recognition microphone
is located above the driver’s seat.
To ensure proper voice recogni-
tion, state voice commands while
maintaining proper driving posture.
Better voice recognition is possible if you speak naturally and clearly,
as you would in normal conversa-
tion.
In the following situations, outdoor noise may prevent proper voice
recognition.
1) Wind noise from an open win- dow or sunroof may disrupt
voice recognition.
2) Operating the climate blower at a high level may cause wind
noise that disrupts voice recog-
nition. The recommended set-
ting is 3 or below.
3) When passing through tunnels, vehicle echoes may disrupt
voice recognition.
4) When passing over uneven ter- rain, vehicle noise may disrupt
voice recognition.
5) Noise from rain in heavy storms may disrupt voice recognition.
