System Setup
Voice Control System
Your vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation 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.
For details of the   (Talk) button,    (Hang-Up/Back) button and microphone 
position, see the Owner's Manual.
Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice re cognition when using the navigation voice control 
system:
• Make sure the correct screen is displa yed for the voice command that you are 
using.
The system recognizes  only certain commands.
Available navigation commands:
2 Navigation Commands  P. 138
• 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 speaking voice without pausing between words.
• Reduce any background noise if possibl e. The system may misinterpret your 
command if more than one person  is speaking at the same time.
1Voice Control System
When you press the   (Talk) button, the system 
prompts you to say a voice command. Press and 
release the   (Talk) butt on again to bypass this 
prompt and give a command.
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.
* Not available on all models
