Using system
Initialization:
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON position, Voice Recognition System is initialized, which may take up to one minute. When completed, the system is ready to accept voice commands. If the switch on the steering wheel is pushed before the initialization completes, the system will not accept any command.
Before starting:
To get the best performance out of the Voice Recognition System, observe the following:
• Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as possible. Close the windows to eliminate the surrounding noises (traffic noises, vibration sounds, etc.), which may prevent the system from recognizing the voice commands correctly.
• Wait until a tone sounds before speaking a command.
• Speak a voice command within 5 seconds after the beep sound. If no voice command is given, the system will ask you for a number. If no further command is given, the session ends.
• Speak in a natural voice without pausing between words.
Giving voice command:
1. Push and release the switch located on the steering wheel.
2. A list of commands appears on the screen, and the system announces, “Please say a command after the beep.
Available commands are: Call, Phonebook, Recent Calls, Connect Phone or Help”.
3. After the tone sounds and the icon on the screen changes from to , speak a command. See the “List of voice commands” for the voice command list. Speak “Call” for example.
INFO
Voice commands cannot be recognized as long as the screen icon is not in the command recognition mode .
4. The system acknowledges the command and announces the next set of available commands.
5. After the tone sounds, speak the phone number.
6. When you have finished speaking the phone number, the system repeats it back and announces the available commands.
7. After system responds, speak “Dial” and the system dials the spoken numbers.
Operating tips:
• Voice commands cannot be accepted when the icon is .
• If the command is not recognized, the system announces, “Please say again”.
Repeat the command in a clear voice.
• Push the switch or the BACK button once to return to the previous screen.
• If you want to cancel the command, push the switch. The message “Voice input is canceled” will be announced. If you want to adjust the volume of the system feedback, push the volume control buttons [+] or [−] on the steering wheel or use the audio system volume knob while the system is making an announcement.
How to speak commands:
The Voice Recognition System requires a certain way to speak voice commands.
Speak normally and clearly in the direction of the microphone (located in front of the rearview mirror). Every digit of the number must be spoken individually and in a normal manner. The hands-free mode will work best when the telephone number is spoken in blocks of three to five digits.
After each spoken block is terminated, the system will repeat the three to five digits and wait for you to speak the next digit or block of digits required for the telephone number.
See “List of voice commands” for the appropriate commands that can be spoken for the hands-free mode system.
Example: In order to initiate a call, speak “Phonebook”.
INFO
• If you are controlling the telephone system by voice command for the first time or do not know the appropriate voice command, speak “Help”. The system announces the available commands.
• When you speak numbers, you can speak both “zero” or “oh” for “0”.
Personal vocabulary (voicetags):
Voice Recognition System is equipped with the function called “voicetags”, which can be associated with the phone number and name in the phonebook. Using the voice tag will automatically generate a speed dial to the registered number.
See “Phonebook registration”.
You can call the identified number using the following command: “Dial” followed by the voice tag.
Dialling a name with a voice tag:
It is possible to call up a name via a voice tag instead of a number, provided the name and number of your correspondent has been previously stored in the phonebook.
Dial via a voice tag, according to the following procedure.
1. Push the switch.
2. The system replies “please say a command after the beep. Available commands are: Call, Phonebook, Recent Calls, Connect Phone or Help”.
3. Give your instructions to the system by saying: “Dial John” for example (“John” must have been previously set as a voice tag for John’s phone number) or “Dial One” if John is classified as one in the phonebook.
If the system cannot understand your command, repeat it according to the recommendations mentioned in “How to speak commands”.
4. If the given name (voice tag) is correct, the phone system will dial the number registered for “John”.
INFO
To end the voice command phase at any stage of the procedure, push the switch once in order to activate the cancel command.
Manual command selection:
Commands can be selected manually.
While the commands are displayed on the screen, select a command by operating the Tune switch, and then push the button. Once a command is manually selected, the voice command function is cancelled. To return to voice command mode, push the button to cancel the current operation, and then perform the first procedure of voice command.
