Returning to previous operation
To return to the previous operation, say, “Go Back” while in voice recognition mode.
Cancel
To put the Bluetooth ® Hands-Free system in standby mode, say, “Cancel” while in voice recognition mode.
To prevent a deterioration in the voice recognition rate and voice quality, the following points should be observed:
- 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.
- Phone related commands are available only when your phone is connected via Bluetooth ® . Make sure your phone is connected via Bluetooth ® before you operate phone related voice commands.
- Music play commands, such as Play Artist and Play Album can be used only in USB audio mode.
- Do not speak too slowly or loudly (no loud voice).
- Speak clearly, without pausing between words or numbers.
- 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.
- 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.
NOTE If the voice recognition performance is not satisfactory.
