NAVI/AV Chapter 17 Operating Your Navigation System with Voice
Tips for Voice Operation
For your voice commands to be correctly recog-
nized and interpreted, ensure that conditions are
suitable for recognition.
Reduce the volume setting on your
vehicle audio system
➲ The sound volume is automatically reduced
during voice operation ➞ Page 91
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 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.
An Example of Voice Operation

In this example, you want to search for the near-
est gas station and set as your destination.
