Interface DialOn models with navigation systemMost audio system functions can still
be controlled by standard buttons,
dials, and knobs, but some functions
can only be accessed using the

two parts, a knob and a selector.

to make selections or adjustments to
a list or menu on the screen.
The selector can be pushed left,
right, up, down, and in. Use the

select menus, and to highlight menu
items. When you make a selection,
push the center of the selector
(ENTER) to go to that selection.Personalization Setting
When you unlock the doors with
your remote and turn the audio
system on, the driver's ID (Driver 1
or Driver 2) is detected, and the
radio presets and sound level
settings (see page207)are turned to
the respective memorized mode
automatically.
Voice Control System
The audio system can also be
operated by voice control. See the
Navi section in your quick start guide
for an overview of this system, and
the navigation system manual for
complete details.
