NAVI/AV Chapter 14 Operating Your Navigation System with Voice
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

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.
