When you are using a mobile phone connected via Bluetooth®, the commands
relevant to the mobile phone can be used. Connect your mobile phone to

excessively loud voice is unnecessary. Try to speak in a slightly louder voice than

You do not need to speak slowly. 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 oc cur with 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 approach 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 being a
disturbance when using 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 voic e guidance, speak in a slightly louder
voice. But, an excessively loud voice is unnecessary.
