Voice Recognition and Phone
Contact Tips:
The Kia Voice Recognition System
may have difficulty understanding
some accents or uncommon
names.
When using Voice
Recognition to place a call, speak in
a moderate tone, with clear pronun-
ciation
To maximize the use of Voice
Recognition, consider these guide-
lines when storing contacts:
1) Use full names vs. short or single
syllable names (“John Smith” vs.
“Dad”, “Smith Residence” vs.
“Home”)
2) Avoid using special characters or
hyphens (@, &, #, /, -, *, +, etc.)
3) Avoid using acronyms (“In Case
Emergency” vs. “ICE”)
4) Spell words completely, no abbre-
viations (“Doctor Goodman” vs.
“Dr. Goodman”)
Contact List Best Practices
1) Do not use acronyms (i.e., use
“County Finance Department”
instead of “CFD”).
2) If a name is not recognized from
the contact list, change it to a
more descriptive name (e.g., use
“Grandpa Joseph” instead of “Pa
Joe”).
