Voice Recognition
Avoiding Voice Recognition Errors.Read the notes listed below to allow the Voice Recognition function to recognize your voice properly.l
Speak a voice command clearly.
l Keep yourself in a safe driving position. Do not face or approach the microphone to make a 
voice command recognizable. 
Voice recognition may fail to recognize your command due to voice tone. If this happens, 
change the tone of your voice by speaking more loudly and clearly.
l Keep the inside of the vehicle quiet when making a voice command. Your command may be 
compromised by noises made by people, blinkers, the horn, vehicle vibration, and noises 
from outside the vehicle.
l Use the language you selected in voice recognition.
The following voice commands can be used with voice control.
( ): Say any one of the commands separated by a / (slash) within this type of parentheses. 
[]: Recognizes without saying the command in “[]”
“/”: Recognizes when saying either commands before and after “/”
*Triple A stands for AAA. If the command is not spoken as indicated (Triple A), the system will 
not recognize the command.

Audio Operation
Flutter/Skip noise
Signals from an FM transmitter move in 
straight lines and become weak in valleys 
between tall buildings, mountains, and other 
obstacles. When a vehicle passes through 
such an area, the reception conditions may 
change suddenly, resulting in annoying 
noise.
Weak signal noise
In suburban areas, broadcast signals 
become weak because of distance from the 
transmitter. Reception in such fringe areas is 
characterized by sound breakup.Strong signal noise
This occurs very close to a transmitter tower. 
The broadcast signals are extremely strong, 
so the result is noise and sound breakup at 
the radio receiver.
Station drift noise
When a vehicle reaches the area of two 
strong stations broadcasting at similar fre-
quencies, the original station may be tempo-
rarily lost and the second station picked up. 
At this time there will be some noise from 
this disturbance.
Station 2 
88.3 MHz
Station 1 
88.1 MHz
