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 TA L K button. To control your
navigation system by voice:
• Press and release the TA L K button on
the map screen. A voice recognition
screen will be displayed. Or press and
release the TA L K button on a screen
other than the map screen. 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 TA L K button, answer the
prompts as required. If the system does not understand a
command or you wait too long to give
a command, on the Voice Recognition
Example Commands screen, it responds
with “Pardon? No command was heard.
Please press the
TA L K button and say
a command. To return to the previous
screen, press the BACK button.” On
any other screen, it responds with
“Pardon? No command was heard.
Please press the TA L K button and
say a command.” 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 fi nd 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 speak a command, the
system generally either repeats the
command as a confi rmation 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 Tutor setting
in SET UP.
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 the navigation or Bluetooth®
HandsFreeLink® voice control system,
the following 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 167 .
• It is best if the windows and sunroof are closed. If they are open, speak
a little louder to overcome the wind
noises.

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 selected 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 completes the name
entry for you. If the system fi nds 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 entered, the number
of corresponding choices is displayed
on the right-hand side.

Entering a Destination
Navigation System29
ZAGAT 2010 (see page 43)
This selection allows you to fi nd a
restaurant by the ZAGAT Rating
information.
Coordinate (See page 44 )
You can search for the destination by
inputting the latitude and longitude for
the destination.
Intersection (see page 45 )
This selection allows you to enter the
names of two intersecting streets in
a city. This is useful if you know the
general location of your destination, but
not the exact address.
Map Input (See page 46 )
You can select a destination from the
MAP screen.
Go Home 2 (See page 50 )
If you select this feature, you can select
Home Address 2 as a destination. By Address
After you select Address from the
DEST screen ( Dest. MENU 1 ), the
display changes to:
Tip:
• When entering an address by voice, it is more effi cient to say the city name
fi rst, then the street name.
• When entering an address by the Interface Dial , it is usually easier
to enter the street fi rst. A city or cities
that the street appears in will be
displayed. For your convenience, you
do not have to enter both city and
street.
NOTE:
• If you fi nd that your city is not listed, it may be part of a larger metropolitan
area. Try entering the street fi rst. • 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 page 112 .
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 to the left or right.
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 either of the Canada /
AK , USA , or Mexico tab by moving
the Interface Dial to the left or right.
If you select Canada /AK , Canada and
Alaska will be displayed. If you choose
USA , the American mainland, Hawaii,
Puerto Rico will be displayed. If you
select Mexico , the states of Mexico
will be displayed.

System Setup
100 Navigation System
After you have used one of these
six options to enter the address, the
initial screen for entering the personal
address is redisplayed, with the
address shown in the “Address” fi eld.
If you have entered the address using
Place Name , Place Category , or
Place Phone No. , the phone number
corresponding to the address also
appears in the “Place Phone No.” fi eld. Edit Phone Number
You can enter the phone number of
the address. If the address was chosen
with
Place Name , Place Category ,
or Place Phone No. , and it has a
phone number, that number is entered
automatically.
Say or select Edit Phone No. to
display the Enter phone number
screen. Enter the phone number,
including the area code, by using the
voice control system (say the entire
phone number one digit at a time) or by
using the Interface Dial . Say or select
OK when fi nished. Edit Category
If desired, you can specify the category
of the address or the icon. Say or select
Edit Category to display the Select a
category
screen.
Scroll the screen and select a category by
saying the number next to your choice,
or by pushing in on the Interface Dial .
To add a new category, select New
Category from the list. To edit or
delete a category, select Edit by moving
the Interface Dial to the right. The
system will display the Select an edit
menu screen. Follow the on-screen
prompts to edit, or delete a category. If
you delete a category that was used to
categorize addresses, the category for
those addresses becomes “UNFILED.”

Rearview Camera
Your vehicle is equipped with a
rearview camera as shown in the
illustration.
When 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
(especially when fi rst starting your
vehicle), or switching back to the
map/menu screen. This is normal.
Rearview Camera Image
4th line (9 ft, 3 m)
3rd line (6.5 ft, 2 m)
2nd line (3 ft, 1 m)
1st line (1.5 ft, 0.5 m)
The rearview camera display has
distance guidelines indicating distance
from the back of the vehicle to one of
the lines.
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.

Reporting Errors
Occasionally, you may encounter
database errors.
• If the error pertains to freeways and
main “verifi ed” roads shown in black
on the map, then report it online at
http://update.navteq.com / .
• If the error involves a purple “unverifi ed” road, then do not report
it. These areas have not been verifi ed
and are provided for reference only
(see Map Overview on page 6 ).
• For errors in points of interest (POI), like a business that has changed its
name, do not report them. Keep in
mind that depending on when the
data was collected, the database can
be out of date. The business may
have not reported the change(s), or
not be in the database at all. Update
Navigation DVDs are available for
purchase, usually in the fall of each
year. See Obtaining a Navigation
Update DVD on page 135 regarding
updates to the navigation system. • If the error does not involve the
database, such as vehicle position
icon error, screen error messages,
or other GPS related errors, see
