Voice Recognition
The navigation system’s voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation of navigation and audio system
features. Voice recognition can be used when the
ignition is on or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
is active.
This feature only works if the map DVD is inserted and
I AGREE has been selected. If you try to use voice
recognition without the map DVD inserted, the system
will display “Please insert the navigation map DVD
to use the voice recognition feature.” See “Installing the
DVD Map Disc” underMaps on page 4-39.To use navigation voice recognition, do the following:
1. Push and hold the talk
symbol steering wheel
control until you
hear a beep. The audio
system will mute.
2. Clearly state one of the commands listed on the
following pages. For example, say “FM1”.
3. The system will tell you the command being
implemented. For example, the system will say
“FM1 Radio” and change the audio system to the
FM1 source.
You can end voice recognition by not speaking any
commands. After about ve seconds of silence,
the system will automatically cancel voice recognition.
At times, the system may not understand a spoken
command. If this happens, try saying the command
again. If a spoken command is not available, the system
will provide feedback based on availability.
While using voice recognition, make sure to keep interior
noise levels to a minimum. Otherwise, the system might
not recognize voice commands.
The system will only recognize commands spoken in
English.
