Dialects or different wording other than hands-free prompts cannot be recognized by voice recognition. Speak in the wording specified by the voice commands.
-
It is not necessary to face the microphone or approach it. Speak the voice commands while maintaining a safe driving position.
-
Close the windows and/or the moonroof to reduce loud noises from outside the vehicle, or turn down the airflow of the climate control system while Bluetooth® Hands-Free is being used.
-
Make sure the vents are not directing air up towards the microphone.
