NOTE
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 vehicle specifications.
Some commands cannot be used depending on the device connection conditions and the
use conditions.
When the Barge-In setting is on, voice commands can be made even while the voice
guidance is being announced. For details on Barge-In, refer to the System Settings section
in the Mazda Connec t Owner's Manual.
For details on voice commands which can be used on the navigation screen, refer to the

To prevent misunderstood voice commands, be aware of the follow ing points:
Connect your mobile phone to Bluetooth® before operating the mobile phone using voice
recognition.
After pressing the talk/pick-up button, wait for the beep befor e speaking a command.
Speaking in a slightly louder voice will improve voice recognition, but an excessively
loud voice is unnecessary. Try to speak in a slightly louder voice than when talking to
other passengers in the vehicle.
You do not need to speak slowly. Speak at a normal speed.
When calling a person in the device's phonebook, the recognitio n rate increases the longer
the name is. Errors may occur wi th names that are short such as “Mama”, “Home”, or
“wife”.
Speak clearly, without pausing between words or numbers.
Voice commands other than those specified, cannot be recognized . Speak in the wording
specified by the voice commands.
It is not necessary to face the microphone or be near it. Speak the voice commands while
maintaining a safe driving position.
Close the windows and the moonroof* to reduce loud noises from outside the vehicle and
to prevent the airflow of the air-conditioning system from bein g a disturbance when using
Bluetooth
® Hands-Free.
Make sure that the air flow from the air conditioner is not blowing on the microphone.
If the voice recognition is poor with the guidance volume set to high, set the Barge-In to
OFF.
