Operating Your Navigation System with Voice NAVI/AV

Tips for Voice Operation

For your voice commands to be correctly recog-

nized and interpreted, ensure that conditions are

suitable for recognition.

Reduce the volume setting on your vehicle

audio system

➲ The sound volume is automatically reduced

during voice operation ➞ Page 57

Close the vehicle windows

Please note that wind through the vehicle win-

dow or miscellaneous noise from outside the

vehicle can interfere with voice operation.

Position the microphone carefully

For optimum pick-up, the microphone should be

fixed at a suitable distance directly in front of the

driver.

❒ In order to operate the navigation unit by

voice, you need the microphone kit (CD-VC1),

which is sold separately. Please refer to the

“Owner’s Manual” for the microphone kit.

Pause before giving a command

Speaking too soon may cause the recognition to

fail.

Pronounce your commands carefully

Speak slowly, deliberately and clearly.
