Voice Control System
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 and climate control 
system, and make and receive phone calls using  Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink ®.
The voice control system uses the   (Talk) and  (Hang-Up/Back) buttons on 
the steering wheel and microphones at the  top of 
 the navigation screen.
A “Getting Started” feature provides a tutorial that expla i
 ns how to use the voice 
control system.

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

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.
