22System Setup
Voice Control SystemYour vehicle has a voice con
trol system that allows hand
s-free operation of most of
the navigation system functions. You can also control the audio and climate control system, and make and rece
ive phone ca
lls using
Bluetooth
® HandsFreeLink®.
The voice control system uses the
d
(Talk) and
K
(Back) buttons on the steering
wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling. A “Voice Help” feature provides a tutorial that explains how to use the voice 2Voice Help
P. 5
Command InputIf the system does not understand a command or you wait too long to give a command, it responds with “Pardon,” “Please repeat,” or “Would you say again.” 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 expe
cts commands to be phrased.
2Basic Settings
P. 26
If the system cannot perform a command or the command is not appropriate for the screen you are on, the system beeps. If the system responds with prompts such
as “Please use the Interface Dial to…” or
“Please choose an area with the Interface Di
al,” the system is as
king for input that
cannot be performed using the voice control system.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
Help command. The system will disp
lay and read the list of available
commands to you.

When you press the
d

prompt asks what you would like to do. Press and release the
