Notes

For voice commands, bear in mind the follow-
ing:

Do not use the voice activation system to
initiate an Emergency Request. In stressful
situations, the voice and vocal pitch can
change. This can unnecessarily delay the
establishment of a telephone connection.

Pronounce the commands and digits
smoothly and at normal volume, avoiding
excessive emphases and pauses. This also
applies when spelling out and saying a full
word during destination entry.

When selecting a radio station, use the
standard pronunciation of the station name.

Keep doors, windows, and glass sunroof

closed in order to avoid interference from
outside noises.

Avoid ambient noise in the vehicle while
speaking.

To operate the telephone by voice, refer
to page
