• Be aware that during the operation of the voice recognition system, pressing any key other than the key terminate voice recognition mode.
• For superior voice recognition performance, position the microphone used for voice recognition above the head of the driver’s seat and maintain a proper position when saying commands.

  - When entering and passing through tunnels
  - When driving on rugged and uneven roads

• Phone related voice commands can be used only when a Bluetooth® Wireless Technology device is connected.
• When making calls by stating a name, the corresponding contact must be downloaded and stored within the audio system.
• After downloading the Bluetooth® Wireless Technology phone book, it takes some times to convert the phone book data into voice information. During this time, voice recognition may not properly operate.
• Pronounce the voice commands naturally and clearly as if in a normal conversation.
