Continued
Features
Voice Control OperationYour vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation of most of
the navigation
*/audio system functions.
The voice control system uses the (Talk) and (hang-up/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:
•Make sure the correct screen is displayed for the voice command that you are
using.
•Close the windows and moonroof.
•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.
•Refer to the Voice Help feature.
