Kia Rio: Voice recognition

Using Voice Recognition

Starting Voice Recognition

Shortly press the  key on the steering wheel.
Say a command

If prompt feedback is in [ON], then the system will say “Please say a command after the beep (BEEP)�

• If prompt feedback is in [OFF] mode, then the system will only say “(BEEP)â€�
• To change Prompt Feedback [On]/[Off], go to
  [System]
  [Prompt
  Feedback]
• For proper recognition, say the command after the voice instruction and beep tone.

Contact List Best Practices

1)Do not store single-name entries (e.g., “Bob�, “Mom�, “Kim�, etc.). Instead, always use full names (including first and last names) for all contacts (e.g., use “Jacob Stevenson� instead of “Dad�).

2)Do not use abbreviations (i.e., use “Lieutenant� instead of “Lt.� or “Sergeant� instead of “Sgt.�).

3)Do not use acronyms (i.e., use “County Finance Department� instead of “CFD�).

4)Do not use special characters (e.g., “@�, “hyphen -“, “asterisk *�, ampersand &�).

5)If a name is not recognized from the contact list, change it to a more descriptive name (e.g., use “Grandpa Joseph� instead of “Pa Joe�).

Skipping Prompt Messages

the steering remote controller (under 0.8 seconds)

Re-starting Voice Recognition

While system waits for a command Shortly press the
key on the
steering remote controller (under 0.8 seconds)

The command wait state is immediately ended and the beep tone will sound. After the “beep�, say the voice command.
