Information and Radio Displays
For vehicles with high gloss surfaces or
vehicle displays, use a microfiber cloth to
wipe surfaces. Before wiping the surface
with the microfiber cloth, use a soft bristle
brush to remove dirt that could scratch the
surface. Then use the microfiber cloth by
gently rubbing to clean. Never use window

the microfiber cloth separately, using mild
soap. Do not use bleach or fabric softener.

information about supported Bluetooth
features, see your dealer.

If equipped, launch the Nav application by
touching the Nav icon on the Home Page or
on the shortcut tray near the bottom of the
infotainment display.
When the Nav application is launched for

signed into a profile, it is also suggested to
enable and confirm Predictive Navigation.
Predictive Navigation (If Equipped)
If Predictive Navigation is available and
confirmed, this feature learns preferences by
remembering where the vehicle has been.

152 Infotainment System
Most languages do not support natural
language commands in sentence form. For
those languages, use direct commands like
the examples shown on the display.
For best results:
.Listen for the prompt before saying a
command or reply.
.Say“Help” or look at the screen display
for example commands.
.A voice recognition system prompt can be
interrupted while it is playing by
pressing
g.
For example, if the prompt seems to be
taking too long to finish, to speak the
command without waiting for the prompt
to complete, press
g.
.Speak the command naturally, not too
fast, not too slow. Use direct commands
without a lot of extra words.
.Usually Phone and Audio commands can
be spoken in a single command.
For example say, “Call at work,”
“Play” followed by the artist or song
name, or “Tune”followed by the radio
station number.
.Navigation destinations are too complex
for a single command. First, say a
command that explains the type of destination needed, such as I want
directions to an
“Address,” “Navigate to
an Intersection,” “I need to find a Place of
Interest or POI,” or“Directions to a
Contact.” The system responds by
requesting more details. For other POIs,
say the name of a category like
“Restaurants,” “Shopping Malls,” or
“Hospitals.”
Most languages do not support natural
language commands in sentence form. For
those languages, use direct commands like
the examples shown on the display.
There is no need to memorize specific
command words. Direct commands might be
more clearly understood by the system. An
example of a direct command would be “Call
.” Examples of these direct
commands are displayed on most of the
displays while a voice session is active.
If “Phone” or“Phone Commands,” is stated,
the system understands that a phone call is
requested and will respond with questions
until enough details are gathered.
If the phone number has been saved with a
name and a place, the direct command
should include both, for example “Call
at work.”
Using Voice Recognition for List Options
When a list is displayed, a voice prompt will
ask to confirm or select an option from that
list. A selection can be made by manually
selecting the item, or by speaking the line
number for the item to select.
When a display contains a list, there may be
options that are available but not displayed.
The list on a voice recognition display
functions the same as a list on other
displays. Scrolling or flinging can be used to
help display other entries from the list.
Manually scrolling or paging the list on a
display during a voice recognition session
suspends the current voice recognition event
and plays the prompt “Make your selection
from the list using the manual controls or
touch the Back icon on the infotainment
display to try again.”
If manual selection takes more than
15 seconds, the session terminates and
prompts that it has timed out. The display
returns back to where voice recognition was
initiated.
The Back Command
Say “Back” or touch the Back icon on the
infotainment display to go to the
previous menu.

at work, on mobile device, or on another
phone.
“Call ” :Initiate a call to a
standard phone number or emergency
number.
Say “Call ,” then after the
system reads back the number, repeat the
“Call” command to initiate the call. If the
number is not correct, “Delete”will delete
the number and allow it to be entered
again. If the number is not complete, speak
the remaining digits.
“Pair Phone” :Begin the Bluetooth pairing
process. Follow instructions on the radio
display. “Switch Phone”
:Select a different phone
for outgoing calls.
“Voice Keypad” :Begins a dialog to enter
special numbers like international numbers.
The numbers can be entered in groups of
digits with each group of digits being
repeated back by the system. If the group
of digits is not correct, the command
“Delete” will remove the last group of digits
and allow them to be re-entered. Once the
entire number has been entered, the
command “Call”will start dialing the
number.
“Voice Mail” :Initiate a call to voice mail
numbers.
Phone Assistant Voice Recognition
Press and holdgon the steering wheel
controls to pass through and launch Google
phone assistant or Siri.

190 Driving and Operating
Driving for Better Fuel Economy
Driving habits can affect fuel mileage. Here
are some driving tips to get the best fuel
economy possible:
.Set the climate controls to the desired
temperature after the engine is started,
or turn them off when not required.
.Avoid fast starts and accelerate smoothly.
.Brake gradually and avoid abrupt stops.
.Avoid idling the engine for long periods
of time.
.When road and weather conditions are
appropriate, use cruise control.
.Always follow posted speed limits or
drive more slowly when conditions
require.
.Keep vehicle tires properly inflated.
.Combine several trips into a single trip.
.Replace the vehicle's tires with the same
TPC Spec number molded into the tire's
sidewall near the size.
.Follow recommended scheduled
maintenance.
Distracted Driving
Distraction comes in many forms and can
take your focus from the task of driving.
Exercise good judgment and do not let other
activities divert your attention away from
the road. Many local governments have
enacted laws regarding driver distraction.
Become familiar with the local laws in
your area.
To avoid distracted driving, keep your eyes
on the road, keep your hands on the
steering wheel, and focus your attention on
driving.
.Do not use a phone in demanding driving
situations. Use a hands-free method to
place or receive necessary phone calls.
.Watch the road. Do not read, take notes,
or look up information on phones or
other electronic devices.
.Designate a front seat passenger to
handle potential distractions.
.Become familiar with vehicle features
before driving, such as programming
favorite radio stations and adjusting
climate control and seat settings. Program
all trip information into any navigation
device prior to driving.
.Wait until the vehicle is parked to
retrieve items that have fallen to the
floor.
.Stop or park the vehicle to tend to
children.
.Keep pets in an appropriate carrier or
restraint.
.Avoid stressful conversations while
driving, whether with a passenger or on a
cell phone.
{Warning
Taking your eyes off the road too long or
too often could cause a crash resulting in
injury or death. Focus your attention on
driving.
Refer to the infotainment section for more
information on using that system and the
navigation system, if equipped, including
pairing and using a cell phone.
Defensive Driving
Defensive driving means “always expect the
unexpected.” The first step in driving
defensively is to wear the seat belt. See
Seat Belts 042.
