Voice Recognition*

Voice Recognition Tips: The system may have difficulty understanding some accents or uncommon names. Improve the performance by making a few simple changes to your phone contacts, listed below. To help optimize the Voice Recognition system, see other tips and reminders under Quick Tips.

Use full names (first and last names) vs. short or single-syllable names (“John Smith” vs.“Dad,” “Smith Residence” vs.“Home”)
Spell words completely, no abbreviations (“Doctor Smith” vs.“Dr. Smith”)
Avoid using special characters, emojis or hyphenated names (@, &, #, /, -, *, +, etc.)
Avoid using acronyms (“In Case of Emergency” vs.“ICE”) or words with all capital letters

For more information, refer to the Car Infotainment System Quick Reference Guide or the Owner’s Manual.

Quick Tips:

The system can register or pair multiple Bluetooth® devices. See the Car Infotainment System Quick Reference Guide for more information on setup and limitations
During the pairing process, be sure to accept the connection requests on the phone for phone book download and all future Bluetooth® connection requests
When placing a call, speak in a natural, moderate tone, with clear pronunciation. The system may have trouble recognizing commands if you speak too softly or too loudly
Always wait for the BEEP before speaking any commands
