Voice Control BasicsYour 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

microphone near the map lights on the
ceiling.
NOTE:
While using the voic e control system,
the audio system is muted.

system. Press and release it when you
