SPEAKER ADAPTATION (SA) MODESpeaker Adaptation allows up to two out-of dia-
lect users to train the system to improve recogni-
tion accuracy. By repeating a number of com-
mands, the users can create a voice model of theirown voice that is stored in the system. The system
is capable of storing a different speaker adapta-
tion model for memory A and memory B.
If memory A is available, the system will use
memory A to store the model. If memory A is in
use and memory B is available, the system will
use memory B to store the model. If both of the
memory locations are in use, the system will ask
the user to select which memory location should
be overwritten.Training procedureThe procedure for training a voice is as follows.
1. Position the vehicle in a reasonably quiet
outdoor location.
2. Sit in the driver’s seat with the engine run-
ning, the parking brake on, and the transmis-
sion in Park.
3. Press and hold the
button for more
than 5 seconds.
4. The system announces: “Press the PHONE
SEND (
) button for the hands-free
phone system to enter the speaker adapta-
tion mode or press the PHONE END
(
) button to select a different lan-
guage.”
