VOICE RECOGNITION
With SUBARU STARLINK®, simple voice commands can control
features like navigation, entertainment, phone calls, and, on select
models, climate control. A microphone is located in the overhead
console. You do not need to speak directly into it.
Visit www.subaru.com/owners/starlink/multimedia.html for
more information.
Press the voice recognition switch to start the voice recognition
system. Press and hold the switch to cancel it.
For help with what you can say with voice recognition, press the “Help” button on the
screen or press the voice recognition button and say “Help”.
Tips
The system may not recognize the voice command due to various types of interference.
Some causes for voice command interference are:
• The command is spoken too quickly or at a low or high volume.
• The command is incorrect or unclear.
• The window is open, the climate control system is set on high, or the ventilation is
directed toward the microphone.
• Passengers are talking while the command is spoken.
NOTE: The system is designed to recognize a variety of commands, but certain words,
accents or speech patterns may be difficult for the system to recognize.
