Voice Recognition System

What is voice recognition?

Voice recognition technology runs the system as ordered by recognizing your voice command to help with the operation of multimedia while you are driving the car. Regretfully, not all possible voice commands are recognized by the system due to technological limitations. To make up for these limitations, the system displays the voice commands that are available for you to use.

There are errors in communication between people. Likewise, voice recognition sometimes misunderstands your voice command under certain circumstances. If this happens, either check the screen for the available options and say the command again, or manually select and press the button for the corresponding command on the screen.

Voice recognition support availability varies according to the language set for the system.

Please verify the current language setting before using the voice recognition.

If you change the language set for the system to Korean, voice recognition will not be supported. Change the system language to other language.
