Voice Control Basics
Your vehicle has a voice control system
that allows hands-free operation of most
of the navigation system functions. You
can also control the audio system and
the climate control system. The voice
control system uses the TA L K and
BACK buttons on the steering wheel
and a microphone near the map lights
on the ceiling.

• The fan speed automatically lowers
when the TA L K button is pressed.
Adjust the airfl ow from both the
dashboard and side vents so air does
not blow against the microphone on
the ceiling.
• If more than one person is speaking at the same time, the system may
misinterpret your command.
• After pressing and releasing the TA L K button, wait for the beep, then
give a voice command.
• Give a voice command in a clear, natural speaking voice without
pausing between words.
• Try to reduce any background noise.
• If you are still having trouble with the voice control system, refer to Voic e
Info on the INFO screen (Main
Info ).
NOTE:
The voice control system can only be
used in the driver’s seat because the
microphone unit removes noises from
the front passenger’s side.Selecting an Item (Button)
on the Screen
On most screens, there are items that
can be selected (like buttons with titles
such as OK or Return ). To select
an item on any screen, do one of the
following:
• Use the voice control system and say the name of the desired item.
Almost all selectable items on the
screen, including some listed items,
are recognized by the voice control
system.
• Move the highlighting to the desired item with the Interface Dial or its
knob , then push in on the Interface
Dial .
Tip:
If items are grayed out, this means that
they cannot be selected.
Selecting an Item in a List
To scroll through a list, do one of the
following:
• Rotate the Interface Dial knob to
scroll one item at a time.
• Use the voice control system to scroll page by page. For example, to scroll
up, say “Up” or “Previous.” To scroll
down, say “Next” or “Down.”
If you cannot fi nd the desired name,
or have made an error, return to
the previous screen by pressing the
CANCEL or the BACK button.
To select the desired item in the list, do
one of the following:
• Use the voice control system, and say the item number of the desired item.
• Rotate the Interface Dial knob to
move the highlighting to the item,
then push in on the Interface Dial .

System Setup
122 Navigation System

Rearview Camera
Your vehicle is equipped with a
rearview camera as shown in the
illustration.
Whenever you shift to R (Reverse) with
the power mode in the ON mode, the
rear view is shown on the navigation
screen. Parking guidelines appear in the
rear view. For the best image, always
keep the rearview camera lens clean,
and be sure it is not covered.
Since the rearview camera display area
is limited, you should always back up
slowly and carefully, and look behind
you for obstacles.
Rearview Camera Brightness
Adjustment
When in reverse, the navigation “hard”
buttons are locked out, except the
rotating portion of the Interface Dial
knob . Rotate the Interface Dial
knob clockwise to make the camera
image brighter, and counterclockwise to
darken the image.
This brightness adjustment is
independent of the screen brightness
adjustment in SET UP.
NOTE:
• The camera brightness cannot be adjusted by voice control.
• Slight delays can occur when switching to the camera image, or
switching back to the map/menu
screen. This is normal.

The rearview camera display has
distance guidelines indicating distance
from the back of the vehicle to one of
the lines.
1st line : 0.5 m
2nd line : 1 m
3rd line : 2 m
4th line : 3 m
NOTE:
• The rearview camera has a special lens that makes distances appear
closer than they actually are.
• The rearview camera display has a limited range, and the size and
position of objects around the area
may appear different from reality.
Make sure to check the surrounding
area carefully.
