Main Menu Table Of Contents Compass System (U.S. model without navigation system) Improving Voice Recognition To achieve optimum voice recognition, the following guidelines should be followed: NOTE: Make sure the correct screen is displayed for the voice command that you are using. See Voice Command Index on page 268 . Close the windows and the moonroof. The fan speed will be automatically adjusted to low. Make sure the airflow from the A/C vents does not interfere with the system microphone in the ceiling console. Place your hand over the microphone; if you feel any airflow, adjust the vents. After pressing the Talk button, wait for the beep, then give a voice command. Give a voice command in a clear, natural speaking voice without pausing between words. If the system cannot recognize your command because of background noise, speak louder. If the microphone picks up voices other than yours, the system may not interpret your voice commands correctly. If you speak a command with something in your mouth, or your voice is either too high or too husky, the system may misinterpret your voice commands. If you are still having trouble with the voice control system, refer to Voice Command Help on the main menu screen. Features 2008 RL 267
