Voice Control SystemYour 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 rece ive phone calls using Bluetooth ® HandsFreeLink®.

system.2 Voice Help

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

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 asking for input that
cannot be performed using the voice control system.
