About the Voice Control System

By using the voice control system (voice input microphone and switch), you can perform navigation and audio operation by saying voice commands. This enables you to use functions that are usually inoperable while driving.

The voice control system may not recognise the voice command if you do not say it correctly.

Be aware of the following points that will assist correct recognition.

• Speak after you hear the “beep”. If you speak before or at the same time as the “beep”, your command will not be recognised.

• Speak in a loud and clear voice.

• Some voices may be difficult to recognise.

• Keep the windows closed as much as possible while speaking. Noise such as wind or other external sounds may prevent correct recognition. Also, if the air conditioner fan is too loud, it may prevent correct recognition.

• The system does not support regional variations or alternative phrases. Be sure to say the specified phrases.

Under the following conditions, the voice recognition mode will be turned off:

• Within 8 seconds after guidance, talkback or help voice finishes playing, no voice is recognised.

• (When the screen is operated, counting of 8 seconds starts again after the screen is touched.)

• The button is pressed and held.

• The Steering button or Hard button is pressed.

• The current screen changes to the back eye camera screen when shifting into the reverse gear.

• A call is received.

When voice recognition is started, the current audio output is muted or paused.
