How to Use the Voice Control in Camry?
2 Answers
You can verbally issue various commands such as modify, next page, next song, return, pause, close, cancel, play, and more. You can directly use voice commands to open functions like phone, navigation, address book, vehicle settings, etc. While using another application, you can switch to or enable functions with commands. For example, switch to navigation, enable Bluetooth, air conditioning, etc. During navigation, you can directly speak the destination, such as city, street, house number. The voice control trigger button is located on the right surface of the steering wheel.
As a long-time Toyota Camry owner, I find the voice control feature exceptionally handy. While driving, just press the microphone button on the left side of the steering wheel – it will beep to prompt you to speak. You can then give commands like 'call mom' to make phone calls or 'navigate to downtown' to access the navigation system. The recognition accuracy is quite good, though I've noticed it works best in quiet environments as background noise may cause errors. I frequently use it to adjust volume, switch radio stations, or even control the AC with commands like 'set temperature to 22 degrees'. New owners should check the command list in the manual first – don't rush, practice makes perfect since it supports both Chinese and basic English. After system updates, it can connect with smartphones to read messages, but ensure your infotainment software is up-to-date to avoid lagging issues. Overall, this feature significantly enhances driving safety by minimizing screen distractions.
