the vehicle. You should be able to sit upright,
well back in the seat and be able to
adequately press the pedals without leaning
forward, and grip the steering wheel
comfortably. The passenger’s seat should be
adjusted in a similar manner, so that it is as far
back from the front airbag in the dashboard
as possible.

Climate Control System
Using Automatic Climate Control

temperature control buttons.
3. Press the (ON/OFF) button to cancel.1Using Automatic Climate Control
If any buttons are presse d while using the climate
control system in auto, the function of the button
that was pressed will take priority.
The AUTO indicator will go off, but functions
unrelated to the button th at was pressed will be
controlled automatically.
During idle-stops, air-conditioning is suspended, and

Features
Voice Control Operation
Your vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation.
The voice control system uses the (tal k) and (back) buttons on the steering
wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.
To achieve optimum voice recognition when using the voice control system:
• The system recognizes natural language and accepts free-form voice commands.
An example of voice commands:
2 Voice Recognition Screen P. 291
•Close the windows and panoramic roof.
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow onto the microphone
on the ceiling.
• Speak clearly in a clear, natural speaking voice without pausing between words.
• Reduce any background noise if possible. The system may misinterpret your
command if more than one person is speaking at the same time.
■Voice Recognition
1Voice Control Operation
When you press the button, the system beeps and
the display changes to the voice recognition screen.
Press the (home) button, (back) button on
the True Touchpad Interface or APPS button on the
steering wheel to cancel a voice recognition function.
