- The voice recognition cannot be performed while voice guidance or the beep sound is operating. Wait until the voice guidance or the beep sound is finished before saying your commands.
- Dialects or different wording other than hands-free prompts cannot be recognized by voice recognition. 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.
- Do not speak too slow or too loud.
- Speak clearly, without pausing between words or numbers.
- Close the windows and/or the moonroof to reduce loud noises from outside the vehicle, or turn down the airflow of the air-conditioning system while Bluetooth ® Hands-Free is being used.
- Make sure the vents are not directing air up towards the microphone.
