Navigation System
ACURA MDX KA 31STX850
Getting StartedUsing the Voice Control SystemYou should use the voice control system
as much as possible, and consider
manual entry using the Interface Dial
as a backup method.
Most of the system’s functions can be
controlled by voice commands activated
with the TALK button. To control the
navigation system by voice:
 Press and release the TALK button. A
pop-up voice icon ( ) will appear in
the upper left corner of the screen.
 Wait for the beep.
 Give a voice command. (Voice commands that the system recognizes
are highlighted.)
Once the microphone picks up your
command, the system changes the
display in response to the command and
prompts you for the next command.
Using the TALK button, answer the
prompts as required. If the system does not understand a
command or you wait too long to give a
command, it responds with “Pardon,”
“Please repeat,” or “Would you say
again.” If the system cannot perform a
command or the command is not
appropriate for the screen you are on, a
beep will sound.
You can find out which voice
commands are available for a particular
screen by saying “Help.” The system
will display and read the list of available
commands to you. (When
Help is
grayed out, this feature cannot be used.)
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, hearing the feedback will
familiarize you with the way the system
expects commands to be phrased. See
the Voice Recognition Feedback
setting in SETUP. If you hear a prompt such as “Please use
the
Interface Dial to...” or “Please
choose an area with the Interface Dial,”
the system is asking for input that
cannot be performed using the voice
control system.
Improving Voice RecognitionTo achieve optimum voice recognition
when using either the navigation or
Bluetooth ® HandsFreeLink® voice
control system, the fo llowing guidelines
should be followed:
NOTE:
Make sure the correct screen is
displayed for the voice command that
you are using. See Voice Command
Index on page 163.
 It is best if the windows and moonroof are closed. If they are open,
speak a little louder to overcome the
wind noises.
