MANUAL CONTROL
While using the Voice Recognition system, it is
possible to select menu options by using the
steering wheel controls instead of speaking voice
commands. This can be especially helpful if the
noise of driving makes it difficult for the Voice
Recognition system to accurately interpret com-
mands. The manual control mode does not allow
dialing a phone number by digits. The user may
select an entry from the Phonebook or Recent
Calls lists. To re-activate Voice Recognition, exit
the manual control mode by pressing and holding
the PHONE/END (
) button. At that time,
pressing the PHONE/SEND (
) button will
start the Hands Free Phone System.
Operating tips
• To enter manual control mode, start the Voice
Recognition system and tilt the tuning (
)
switch up or down. The system will speak
“Showing Manual Options” when manual con-
trols are initially activated.
• To browse the menu options, tilt the tuning
(
) switch up or down. The system will
always speak the current menu option. Depend-ing on the audio display, it will also show the
current menu option.
• To select the current menu option, press the
PHONE/SEND (
) button.
• To go back to the previous menu, press the
PHONE/END (
) button. If the current
menu is the Main Menu, pressing the PHONE/
END (
) button will exit the Phone system.
• To exit the manual control mode, press and hold
the PHONE/END (
) button for 5 seconds.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The system should respond correctly to all voice
commands without difficulty. If problems are en-
countered, try the following solutions.
Where the solutions are listed by number, try
each solution in turn, starting with number 1, until
the problem is resolved.
4-54Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems

Symptom Solution
System fails to interpret the com-
mand correctly.1. Ensure that the command is valid. See “List of voice commands” in this section.
2. Ensure that the command is spoken after the tone.
3. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level in the vehicle.
4. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, windows open or defroster on) . NOTE: If it is too noisy to use the phone, it is
likely that the voice commands will not be recognized.
5. If more than one command was said at a time, try saying the commands separately.
6. If the system consistently fails to recognize commands, the voice training procedure should be carried out to improve the recognition response
for the speaker. See “Voice Adaptation (VA) mode” in this section.
The system consistently selects the
wrong entry from the phone book.1. Ensure that the phone book entry name requested matches what was originally stored. This can be confirmed by using the “List Names” com-
mand. See “Phonebook” (phones with automatic phonebook download function) in this section.
2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.

D (Drive):
Use this position for all normal forward driving.If
the vehicle is placed in the D (Drive) posi-
tion while reversing, the chime will sound
and the vehicle will switch into the N (Neu-
tral) position.B-mode:
Engages the regenerative braking system more
aggressively on downhill slopes, and helps re-
duce brake use. Activated by moving the shift
lever left and down. The shift lever will then return
to the center position.ECO mode (if so equipped):
Use ECO in order to help extend the driving
range.
In comparison to the D (Drive) position, ECO
consumes less power for the traction motor and
heater and air conditioner operations and en-
ables the range of the vehicle to be extended.
