Voice Recognition
About Speak Button
The Speak button is used for voice navigation. Press the button to
activate the voice operation mode.
For Voice Recognition to Operate Correctly
Voice navigation may not operate correctly, depending on the
situation in which it is used.
For voice recognition to operate correctly, make sure that you
read the following provisions.
Mount the microphone in a suitable location.
Mount the microphone where the driver’s voice can be picked
up clearly. Adjust the distance between microphone and the
driver’s position so that the driver has no difficulty speaking
into the microphone. For installation details, refer to the
supplied Installation Manual.
Lower the volume of the car audio.
To ensure your voice is recognized, reduce the car audio
volume (radio, etc.) as necessary.
Close the windows.
Make sure all windows are closed during voice operation as
ambient, engine or wind noise may interfere with recognition.
Speak clearly.
Speak directly into the microphone, at suitable pace, avoiding
long pauses.
Only use the specified voice commands.
The system only recognizes these commands.
Also, make sure you use the correct pronunciation.
Do not converse when speaking a voice command.
Your voice may not be recognized if you mix regular
conversation with voice commands.
Maintain a natural driving posture while speaking voice
commands, so that you can hold the steering wheel in
the usual way, without the need to lean in towards the
microphone to speak.
Any accent in your voice may not be recognized.
Therefore, always speak the commands clearly.
• If the IN-INT cable (supplied with the Alpine head unit)
is connected, volume is automatically lowered by the
mute cable connection.
For connection, refer to the extra Installation Manual.
• If your voice is not recognized, change the location of
the microphone. Your voice recognition may be
improved.
•Voice guidance announcements will be interrupted
during voice operation.
Using the Voice Control System
Most of the system’s functions can be controlled by voice
commands. The voice control system is activated with the
SPEAK button. To control your navigation system by voice, press
and release the SPEAK button, wait for the beep, then give a
voice command. Once the microphone picks up your command,
the system changes the display in response to the command and
prompts you for the next command. Using the SPEAK button,
answer the prompt as required.
1
Press the SPEAK button.
A sound beeps, and the voice icon is displayed
for 2 seconds on the screen.

When the voice icon is displayed, say the
desired voice command into the microphone.
The system changes the display in response to the

Perform operations in steps 1 and 2
repeatedly.
•The spoken commands are mostly the same as the
phrases displayed on the screen. For those that are not,
see “Voice Command Index” (page 78).
• If you do not know which voice command to use, use
the help function, see “Using the Help Command of the
Voice Control System” (page 75).
• If the system does not understand a command or you
wait too long to give a command, it responds with
“Pardon me.” If the system cannot perform a command
or the command is not appropriate for the screen you
are on, it sounds a beep.
