Notices

Do not use the voice command
system to make emergency SOS
calls. Your voice and habitual tone could be
affected by stressful situations, as a result
of which the process of establishing the
telephone connection could be unneces-
sarily delayed. Instead, you should use the
emergency SOS button located adjacent to
the rearview mirror, refer to page
Environmental conditions
The voice command system uses a special
hands-free microphone located in the front
of your vehicle's headliner. Although the
system is designed to filter out ambient
noise, you can help ensure that your com-
mands will be understood by observing the
following instructions:
Speak smoothly and clearly, at a normal
>
volume. Do not place any unusual
stress on individual syllables, and avoid
pauses
Do not speak while the voice command
>
system is talking
Keep the doors, windows and sunroof
>
closed to prevent interference from
ambient noise
Avoid other sources of noise in the
>
vehicle while speaking, and ask other
vehicle occupants to refrain from
talking while you are using the system
The hands-free microphone is aimed
>
toward the driver. This means that the
system might be unable to register the
voices of other vehicle occupants prop-
erly.

trate on avoiding these words while
