System Setup
Voice Control System
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   ( Talk) and   (Hang-Up/Back) buttons on 
the steering wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.
A “Getting Started” feature provides a tutorial that explains how to use the voice 
control system.
2 Getting Started Tutorial  P. 15
Command Input
If the system does not understand a command or you wait too long to give a 
command, the system asks  you to repeat the command.
When you give a command, the system gene rally either repeats the command as a 
confirmation or asks you for further information. 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 expects commands to be phrased.
If the system cannot perform a command or  the command is not appropriate for the 
screen you are on, the system beeps.
On character input screens, a list of possibl e characters is displayed if the system 
does not recognize your command.
You can find out which voice commands ar e available for a particular screen using 
the  “ Voice Help ” command. The system will displa y and read the list of available 
commands to you.

control system.

• 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 and the climate controls fan speed if possible. The  system may misinterpret your command if  more than one person is speaking at
