Kia Niro: Audio (With Touch Screen) / Voice Recognition
✽ NOTICE - Using the Voice Recognition
- Voice recognition is a safety technology that recognizes user voice commands
and executes multimedia functions during driving.
- Unfortunately, due to technical limitations, the system is unable to
recognize all voice commands. To address these limitations, the voice commands
that the system recognizes are displayed on the screen. Use the displayed commands.
- Because human speech varies, voice recognition is sometimes unable to
properly recognize user voice commands. In these cases, repeat the voice command
displayed on the screen, or use the button on the screen to execute the desired
function.
Precautions to ensure smooth voice recognition
- If the language setting is Slovakian, Hungarian or Korean, voice recognition
is not supported.
- Voice recognition only supports voice commands indicated onscreen or in
the user manual.
- For proper voice recognition, speak after the beep, which sounds after voice
notification.
- Voice recognition automatically stops in the following events.
1) Outgoing and incoming phone calls.
2) Media (USB, etc.) is connected (voice recognition mode is maintained when iPod®s
are connected).
3) Rear camera is activated (option). 4) Vehicle is started or engine is turned
off.
5) Screen transition buttons, such as [RADIO] or [MEDIA], are selected.
6) When a pop-up message is displayed on the screen due to accidental execution
of the voice recognition function.
- The voice recognition microphone is located above the driver’s seat. To
ensure proper voice recognition, state voice commands while maintaining proper
driving posture.
- Better voice recognition is possible if you speak naturally and clearly,
as you would in normal conversation.
- In the following situations, outdoor noise may prevent proper voice recognition.
1) Wind noise from an open window or sunroof may disrupt voice recognition.
2) Operating the climate blower at a high level may cause wind noise that disrupts
voice recognition. The recommended setting is 3 or below.
3) When passing through tunnels, vehicle echoes may disrupt voice recognition.
4) When passing over uneven terrain, vehicle noise may disrupt voice recognition.
5) Noise from rain in heavy storms may disrupt voice recognition.
