Screen
All selections and instructions are
displayed on the screen. The display is
not a “touch screen” - you can enter
information into the system either by
voice or by using the Interface Dial.
Clean the screen with a soft, damp cloth.
You may use a mild cleaner intended for
use on computer screens.
NOTE:
Whenever you shift to R (Reverse), the
rear view behind the vehicle is shown on
the navigation system screen. See
page 125.
Lower Display
Shows a summary of the audio and
climate control information, as well as
the time. This summary is helpful as a
confirmation when adjusting audio or
climate by voice.
The audio summary consists of the radio
band, frequency, and volume. For XM
radio, a brief description of the station
and current music is displayed.
The climate status consists of the
driver’s and passenger’s temperature,
fan speed, ON/OFF (A/C), and vent
setting. The time is automatically set by
the navigation system. Settings can be
adjusted in SETUP (see Time
Adjustment on page115).

Voice Control Basics
Your vehicle has a voice control system
that allows hands-free operation of most
of the navigation system functions. You
can also control the audio and climate
control system. The voice control
system uses the TALK and BACK
buttons on the steering wheel and a
microphone near the map lights on the
ceiling.
NOTE:
While using the voice control system,
the audio system is muted.
TALK button
This button activates the voice control
system. Press and release it when you
want to give a voice command. See
Voice Command Index on page163 for
a list of voice commands.
BACK button
This button has the same function as the
CANCEL button. When you press and
release it, the display returns to the
previous screen. When the previous
screen appears, the system replays the
last prompt.
When you press this button during voice
recognition, voice re cognition is ended.
(The display does not return to the
previous screen.)
