Commands useable anytime during voice recognition
“Go Back” and “Cancel” are commands which can be used at anytime during voice recognition.
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.
