Tips for Voice Operation

For your voice commands to be correctly recognized and interpreted, ensure that conditions are

suitable for recognition.

Reduce the volume setting on your car audio system

The voice recognition system may have problems distinguishing your voice commands from

background noise. Turn down your audio system: remember that voices on the radio might be

interpreted as commands.

Close the car windows

Just as your audio system may interfere with voice operation, so can wind noise caused by

open windows and sounds entering from outside. If you have problems with voice recogni-

tion, try closing the car windows.

Position the microphone carefully

For optimum pick-up, the microphone should be ﬁxed at a suitable distance directly in front

of the driver. Make sure that you do not need to alter your position or look away from the road

ahead when giving voice commands; not only is this awkward, but it can also compromise

driving safety. Bear this in mind when choosing where to attach the microphone.

Pause before giving a command

After pressing the TALK button on the Remote Controller, pause for a moment after the con-

ﬁrmation beep before giving your command. Speaking too soon may cause the recognition to

fail. If you still experience recognition problems, leave a slightly longer pause before giving a

command.

Pronounce your commands carefully

Speak slowly, deliberately and clearly. Fast or mumbled commands are easily misinterpreted.

If the microphone is properly positioned, there is no need to raise your voice when giving

commands.

➲

If you have a Pioneer Head Unit with a muting function (one that has an Yellow/black lead),

the volume will automatically be reduced when you give a voice command.
