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
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 Ma zda Connect Owner's Manual.
For details on voice commands which can be used on the navigation screen, refer

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 before 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

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
“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 microp
hone or approach it. Speak the voice
commands while maintaining a safe driving position.
Close the windows and the panorama sunroof* 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.
If the voice recognition is poor with th e guidance volume set to high, set the
Barge-In to OFF.
