System Setup
Voice Control System
Your vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation of most of
the navigation system functions. You can al so control the audio and climate control
system, and make and receive phone calls using Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®.
The voice control system uses the d (Talk) and K (Back) buttons on the steering
wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.
A “Voice Info” feature provides a tutorial that explains how to use the voice control
system.
2 Voice Help P. 5
Command Input
If the system does not understand a command or you wait too long to give a
command, the system asks yo u to repeat the command.
When you give a command, the system generally either repeats the command as a
confirmation or asks you for further information. If you do not wish to hear this
feedback, you can turn it off. However, liste ning to the feedback will help familiarise
you with the way the system ex pects commands to be phrased.
2Basic Settings P. 26
If the system cannot perform a command or the command is not appropriate for the
screen you are on, the system beeps.
On character input screens, a list of possible characters is displayed if the system
does not recognize your command.

the d Help command. The system will disp lay and read the list of available
commands to you.

Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition when using either the navigation voice
control system or Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®:
• Make sure the correct screen is displa yed for the voice command that you are
using.
2 Voice Commands P. 218
• Close the windows and moonroof.
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow onto the microphone on
the ceiling.
• Speak clearly in a clear, natural speaking voice without pausing between words.
• Reduce any background noise if possible. The system may misinterpret your
command if more than one person is speaking at the same time.
• Refer to the Voice Info tutorial.

The voice control system can only be used from

removes noises from the front passenger’s side.
