Features
Voice Control Operation
Your vehicle has a voice control system that  allows hands-free operation of most of 
the navigation system functions.
The voice control system uses the   (Tal k) 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 displa yed 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 speakin g 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.
2 Refer to the Navigation System Manual

1 Voice Recognition
The voice control system can only be used from the 
driver’s seat because  the microphone unit removes 
noises from the front  passenger’s side.
