System Setup
Voice Control System
Your vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation of most of
the navigation system functions.
The voice control system uses the d (Talk) and J (Hang-Up/Back) buttons on
the steering wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.
A “Getting Started” feature provides a tutorial that explains how to use the voice
control system.

Getting Started Tutorial P. 16
Command Input
If the system does not understand a command or you wait too long to give a
command, the system asks y ou to repeat the command.
When you give a command, the system ge nerally either repeats the command as a
confirmation or asks you for further informa tion. If you do not wish to hear this
feedback, you can turn it off. However, list ening to the feedback will help familiarize
you with the way the system ex pects commands to be phrased.
If the system cannot perform a command or the command is not appropriate for the
screen you are on, the system beeps.
On character input screens, a list of possi ble characters is displayed if the system
does not recognize your command.
You can find out which voice commands are available for a particular screen using
the d “Voice Help” command. The system will display and read the list of available
commands to you.
