following:
Ⅲ Theinterior of thevehicle should be asquiet as possible. Closethe windows tominimize
the surrounding noises.
Ⅲ Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a command.
Ⅲ Speak in a natural conversational voice with minimal pauses between words.
Ⅲ If you want to repeat a step or if the system incorrectly recognized your command, push
the
switch on the steering wheel or the BACK button on the instrument panel.

How to speak phone numbers
The system provides two commands for entering and dialing a phone number: “DIAL“ and
“INTERNATIONAL CALL“. The “DIAL”command is used for domestic phone numbers up to
10 digits in length, starting with the area code. The “INTERNATIONAL CALL“ command is
used when more than 10 digits need to be dialed or when special characters are required
such as *, #, or +. When using these two commands, please follow the phone digit speaking
rules below:
Ⅲ Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 can be spoken.
Ⅲ Speak digits at a normal pace. Speaking too slowly reduces recognition accuracy.
Ⅲ When saying the phone number 800-662-6200, the system will accept “eight-
hundred” in addition to “eight zero zero” or “eight oh oh”. 500, 700, and 900 are also
supported.
Ⅲ The long-distance dialing prefix “1” is not required when making a call.
“DIAL” COMMAND ONLY
Ⅲ You can say all the digits ofa7or10-digit phone number at one time.
Ⅲ For a 10 digit number, saying the phone number in groups of 3, 3, and 4 digits may
improve recognition for some speakers. To use this group dialing method, say only the
first 3 digits of the phone number. After the system recognizes the first 3 digits, it will
request the next 3 digits and finally the last 4 digits.
Ⅲ If a phone number is incorrectly recognized, you can try entering the phone number
again using the 3-3-4 group dialing procedure by saying, “CHANGE NUMBER”.
