To prevent mistaken voice recognition, be aware of the following points.

Do not speak more slowly than necessary. Speak at a normal speed.

Speaking in a slightly louder voice will improve voice recognition, but an

excessively loud voice is unnecessary. Try to speak in a slightly louder voice than
when talking to other passengers in the vehicle.
Speak clearly, without pausing between words or numbers.

It is not necessary to orient oneself in the direction of the microphone or

approach the microphone. Speak the voice commands while maintaining your
driving posture.
Voice commands may not be recognized correctly due to external noise or air

turbulence in the car.
When calling a person in the mobile device's phone book, the recognition rate

increases the longer the name is. Errors may occur with names that are short
such as (Mama), (Home), or (wife).
