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 approach it. Spea k the voice commands
while maintaining a safe driving position.
Close the windows and the moonro of to reduce loud noises from outside the vehicle and

Bluetooth
® Hands-Free.
Make sure that the air flow from the air conditioner is not blowing on the microphone.
When making voice commands during a voice guidance, speak in a slightly louder voice.
But, an excessively loud voice is unnecessary.
If the voice recognition is poor with the guidance volume set t o high, set the Barge-In to
