Contact Tips:
The Kia Voice Recognition System
may have difficulty understanding
some accents or uncommon names.
When using Voice Recognition to place
a call, speak in a moderate tone, with
clear pronunciation.
To maximize the use of Voice Recognition,
consider these guidelines when storing
contacts:
• Use full names vs. short or single
syllable names ("John Smith" vs.
"Dad", "Smith Residence" vs.
"Home")
• Avoid using special characters or
hyphens (@, &, #, /, -, *, +, etc.)
• Avoid using acronyms ("In Case
Emergency" vs. "ICE")
• Spell words completely, no abbre-
viations ("Doctor Goodman" vs.
"Dr. Goodman")
