About the Voice Control System
By using the voice control system (voice input microphone and
button), you can perform navigation and audio operation by saying
voice commands. This enables you to use functions that are usually
inoperable while driving.
The voice control system may not recognize the voice command if you
do not say it correctly.
Be aware of the following points that will assist correct recognition.
• Speak after you hear the “beep”. If you speak before or at the same
time as the “beep”, your command will not be recognized.
• Speak in a loud and clear voice.
• Some voices may be difficult to recognize.
• Keep the windows closed as much as possible while speaking. Noise
such as wind or other external sounds may prevent correct
recognition. Also, if the air conditioner fan is too loud, it may prevent
correct recognition.
• The system does not support regional variations or alternative
phrases. Be sure to say the specified phrases.
Under the following conditions, the voice recognition mode will be
turned off:
• Within 8 seconds after guidance, talkback or help voice finishes
playing, no voice is recognized.
(When the screen is operated, counting of 8 seconds starts again
after the screen is touched.)
• The voice recognition button is pressed and held.
• The Steering wheel switch (excluding the Voice Recognition button)
is pressed.
• A call is received.
NOTE
When voice recognition is started, the current audio output is muted or paused.
