VOICE RECOGNITION
1
AND BLUETOOTH
®2
Using Voice Recognition
Improve Bluetooth
®
Voice Recognition (VR) performance
by making a few simple changes to your phone contacts:
• Use full names (first and last names) vs. short
or single-syllable names (“John Smith” vs. “Dad,”
“Smith Residence” vs. “Home”).
• Avoid using special characters, emojis, and hyphenated
names (@, &, #, /, -, *, +, etc.).
• Avoid using acronyms (“Emergency” vs. “ICE” or “In
Case of Emergency”) or words with all capital letters.
• Spell words completely; system will not recognize
abbreviations (“Doctor Smith” vs. “Dr. Smith”).
• Always wait for the beep before speaking
any commands.
• When using VR to place a call, speak in a natural,
moderate tone, with clear pronunciation. The system
may have trouble recognizing commands if you speak
too softly or too loudly.
• Open windows, sunroof, weather (wind/rain), or an
A/C fan operating at higher speeds can interfere with
VR accuracy.
• Your VR system may have difficulty understanding
some accents or uncommon names.
• Press the talk button and say “Help” to get a list of
available commands.
Pairing or Connecting Your Phone with Bluetooth
®
• Press the Phone hard key (if equipped) or “Call” button
on the steering wheel to begin the pairing process if
no phone has previously been paired.
• During the pairing process, please make sure you
accept all requests for phonebook download and
future auto-connection on your phone.
• To pair a second phone or subsequent phones, reference
the manuals and guides supplied with your Telluride
as steps vary by radio.
• If you experience any issues with auto-connection, try
the following:
• Reboot your phone (turn the phone off and then on).
• Update the phone operating system to the most
recently released version.
• Delete the phone from the list of Bluetooth
®
devices
on the UVO display
1
and delete UVO from the list of
Bluetooth
®
devices on your phone, and re-pair.
• Ensure the phone has the Bluetooth
®
feature
activated.
• If some contacts are not downloading to the UVO
display, check to confirm that the contact has been
entered correctly and that it has been stored under
the categories (HOME, MOBILE, WORK, iPhone
®3
)
that are supported by the UVO display. Some
contact categories (MAIN, PAGER, OTHER) may not
be supported. If the number of contacts exceeds
the maximum number allowed on the UVO display,
contacts will be partially downloaded. Ensure that
only the “phone contact list” is selected for contact
download on your phone (not social media or email
contact lists as these contacts may not download to
the UVO display).
• Phone operating systems change frequently and some
phones may have varying compatibility levels with the
Bluetooth
®
system. For any questions regarding the
features of your vehicle, please contact your preferred
Kia dealer or contact Kia Consumer Assistance at
1-800-333-4542.
Other Bluetooth
®
Tips
• Bluetooth
®
reception is affected by carrier coverage
and is dependent on the phone.
• If streaming audio through Bluetooth
®
from a device,
ensure the listening volume on the device is turned up.
