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)”
• 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

While prompt message is being stated Shortly press
the key on
the steering remote controller (under 0.8 seconds)

The prompt message is immediately ended and the beep tone will sound. After the “beep”, say the voice command.

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.
