Before starting
To get the best recognition performance from Voice Recognition, observe the following:
● The interior of the vehicle should be as quiet
as possible. Close the windows to eliminate
the surrounding noises (traffic noise and vibration
sounds, etc.), which may prevent the
system from correctly recognizing the voice
commands.
● Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a
command.
● Speak in a natural conversational voice without
pausing between words.
● If the air conditioner is set to “Auto”, the fan
speed is automatically lowered so that your
commands can be recognized more easily.
