When using the microphone

●

It is unnecessary to speak directly into the microphone when giving a com-
mand.

●

When “Voice Prompt Interrupt” set to on, it is not necessary to wait for the
confirmation beep before speaking a command. (

→P. 362)

●

Voice commands may not be recognized if:

• Spoken too quickly.
• Spoken at a low or high volume.
• The roof or windows are open.
• Passengers are talking while voice commands are spoken.
• The air conditioning speed is set high.
• The air conditioning vents are turned towards the microphone.

●

In the following conditions, the system may not recognize the command
properly and using voice commands may not be possible:

• The command is incorrect or unclear. Note that certain words, accents or

speech patterns may be difficult for the system to recognize.

• There is excessive background noise, such as wind noise.

Due to natural language speech recognition technology, this system
enables recognition of a command when spoken naturally. However,
the system cannot recognize every variation of each command.

In some situations, it is possible to omit the command for the proce-
dure and directly state the desired operation.

Not all voice commands are displayed in the short cut menu.

This function is available in English, Spanish and French.
