Getting Started
Using the Voice Control System
You 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 Recognition
To 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.

Getting Started
Entering Information
When the system needs input from you,
the display changes to a screen similar
to the one on the next page. You can
then use the displayed letters, numbers,
or symbols to enter information. You
can enter your keyboard input in either
of the following ways:
Say the desired letter, number, or symbol on the screen if you are
entering a city or street name.
Move the highlighting to the desired letter, number, or symbol by rotating
the Interface Dial knob , then push
in on the Interface Dial.
Each entered letter will appear at the top
of the display. To enter a space between
words, say “Space” or move the
Interface Dial to the right. To delete
an entry, say “Delete” or move the
Interface Dial to the left. If a letter has options (such as accent
marks or symbols), they will appear in
gray next to the se
lected letter on the
upper row. Move the Interface Dial up
to select OPTION , and use the
Interface Dial knob to select the
letter.
To enter symbols, rotate the Interface
Dial Knob and select # or @, then
move the Interface Dial up to select
OPTION .
When entering an address, the system
searches the database for words that
match the letters you are entering. As a
result, you will notice that some letters
are no longer available.
When the system fi nds only one entry
that matches, it co mpletes the name
entry for you. If the system finds more
than one entry that matches your input, a
list of these matches is displayed. Tip:
When entering a name of a city, street,
or place, or if you are unsure of the
spelling of the name, enter the letters
that you are sure of, then move the
Interface Dial
down to select LIST.
The system will display a list of names
that most closely match your input. For
each letter that is en tered, the number of
corresponding choices is displayed on
the right-hand side.

Tip:
When entering an address by voice, it is more efficient to say the city name
first, then the street name.
When entering an address by the Interface Dial, it is usually easier to
enter the street first. A city or cities
that the street appears in will be
displayed. For your convenience, you
do not have to ente r both city and
street. NOTE:
If you find that your city is not listed,
it may be part of a larger
metropolitan area. Try entering the
street first.
Prior to departure, you can set areas to avoid. The system then includes
them in its calculations for the
destination you have entered. See
Edit Avoid Area on page110.
Selecting the State or Province
The state you are in is displayed at the
top of the screen. If your desired
destination is in another state, select
CHANGE STATE by moving the
Interface Dial up.
The display then changes to the Select
a state screen. Use the voice control
system and say the name or
corresponding number of the state, or
rotate the Interface Dial knob to
select the state.
You can select the “USA” or “Canada/
AK.” If you select Canada/AK,
Canada and Alaska will be displayed. If
you choose USA , the American
mainland, Hawaii, a nd Puerto Rico will
