The voice command examples shown in this manual are only a partial list of the
available commands. Some commands may be unusable depending on the
specifications.

You do not need to speak slow ly. Speak at a normal speed.When calling a person in the device's phone book, the recognition rate increases
the longer the name is. Errors may occur with names that are short such as

wording
specified by the voice commands.

hone or approach it. Speak the voice
commands while maintaining a safe driving position.
