recommend creating USB 
memory with no more than 2 
levels of folders.

The play order of the USB

ID3 tag

This is a method of embed-

ding track-related information 
in an MP3 file. This embed-
ded information can include 
the track number, track title, 
the artist’s name, the album 
title, the music genre, the year 
of production, comments, 
cover art and other data. The 
contents can be freely edited 
using software with ID3 tag 
editing functions. Although 
the tags are restricted to a 
number of characters, the 
information can be viewed 
when the track is played back.

WMA tag

WMA files can contain a 
WMA tag that is used in the 
same way as an ID3 tag. 
WMA tags carry information 
such as track title and artist 
name.

MP3

MP3 is an audio compression 
standard determined by a 
working group (MPEG) of the 
ISO (International Standard 
Organization). MP3 com-
presses audio data to about 
1/10 the size of that on con-
ventional discs.

WMA

WMA (Windows Media Audio) 
is an audio compression for-

mat developed by Microsoft

smaller than that of MP3 files.

Voice command system

Press the talk switch to start 
the voice command system. 
To cancel voice command, 
press and hold the talk switch.

When an Apple Car-
Play/Android Auto connec-

tion is established:

*

Press and hold the talk switch 
to start Siri/Google Assistant. 
To cancel Siri/Google Assis-
tant, press the talk switch.

Press the talk switch to start 

the voice command system.

: This function is not made avail-

able in some countries or areas.

Microphone

It is unnecessary to speak 
directly into the microphone 
when giving a command.

Voice commands may not be rec-
ognized if:

• Spoken too quickly.
• Spoken at a low or high volume.
• The windows are open.
• Passengers are talking while 

voice commands are spoken.

• The fan speed of the air condition-

ing system is set at 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 pos-
sible:

• The command is incorrect or 

unclear. Note that certain words, 
accents or speech patterns may 
be difficult for the system to recog-
nize.

• There is excessive background 

noise, such as wind noise.

Normally, it is necessary to wait 
for a beep before saying a com-
mand. To enable the ability to talk 
over prompts and say commands 
before the beep, enable the voice 
prompt interrupt function. 
(

Voice command sys-

tem

The voice command sys-
tem enables the radio,

operated using voice com-
mands. Refer to the com-
mand list for samples of

COROLLA H/B_U

This system may not operate 

immediately after the engine 

switch is in ACC or ON.

The voice command system is 

operated by saying commands 

which correspond to a sup-

ported function. To display 

examples of commands for sup-

ported functions, select a func-

tion button on the screen after 

starting the voice command sys-

tem.

Press the talk switch.

Voice guidance for the voice 

command system can be 

skipped by pressing the talk 

switch.

If “Getting Started with Voice” 

screen is displayed, select 

“OK” or press the talk switch. 

(

After hearing a beep, say a 

supported command.

To display sample commands 

of the desired function, say 

the desired function or select 

the desired function button. To 

display more commands, 

select “More Commands”.

Selecting “Help” or saying 

“Help” prompts the voice com-

mand system to offer exam-

ples of commands and 

operation methods.

Registered POIs, registered 

names in the contacts list etc., 

can be said in the place of the 

“<>” next to the commands. 

(

P.342)

For example: Say “Find a restau-

rant”, “Call John Smith” etc.

If a desired outcome is not 

shown, or if no selections are 

available, perform one of the 

following to return to the pre-

vious screen:

• Say “Go back”.
• Select .

To cancel voice recognition, 
select  , say “Cancel”, or

“Sorry, could you repeat that?” 
and voice command reception will 
restart.

If a voice command cannot be rec-
ognized 3 consecutive times, 
voice recognition will be canceled.

The amount of spoken feedback 
received from the system while 
using the voice command system 
(voice recognition prompts) can 
be changed on the voice settings 
screen. (

P.300)

Some voice guidance can be can-
celed by setting voice prompts to 
off. Use this setting when it is 
desirable to say a command 
immediately after pressing the talk 
switch and hearing a beep.

To increase voice recognition 
performance, use the “Tutori-
als” and “Voice Training” func-
tions on the “Getting Started 
with Voice” screen. These func-
tions are only available when 
the vehicle is not moving.

The “Tutorials” and “Voice Train-

Some basics

The hands-free system 

enables calls to be made 

and received without having 

to take your hands off the 

steering wheel.
This system supports Blue-
tooth

®

. Bluetooth

®

 is a wire-

less data system that 

enables cellular phones to 

be used without being con-

nected by a cable or placed 

in a cradle.
The operating procedure of 

the phone is explained here.
When an Apple CarPlay 

connection is established, 

phone functions will be per-

formed by Apple CarPlay 

instead of the hands-free 

system.

the fan speed to any setting except 
off.
