Tips for Voice Operation
For your voice commands to be correctly recog-
nised and interpreted, ensure that conditions are
suitable for recognition.
Reduce the volume setting on your
vehicle audio system
➲
“Switching the muting/attenuation timing”

Close the vehicle windows
Please note that wind through the vehicle win-
dow or miscellaneous noise from outside the
vehicle can interfere with voice operation.
Position the microphone carefully
For optimum pick-up, the microphone should be
fixed at a suitable distance directly in front of the
driver.
Pause before giving a command
Speaking too soon may cause the recognition to
fail.
Pronounce your commands carefully
Speak slowly, deliberately, and clearly.
❒
If the registered voice command and the
default voice command is the same, the regis-
tered voice command (e.g. the pronunciation
for the entry in “Address Book” and the
playlist in Music library ) will take priority. In
this case, the default voice command will not
function. To use the default voice command,
change or delete the registered voice com-
mand that is identical to the default voice
command.
