Voice command guide
The system searches for specific artist, track or album
information from the music indexed through the USB port. "Search" or "Play" artist,
track or album
This allows you to make your previous command more
specific. For example, if you asked to search and play all
music by a certain artist, you could then say, "Refine
album" and choose a specific album from the list to view.
If you then select Play, the system only plays music from
that specific album. "Refine"
*Indexing times can vary from device to device and with regard to the number of songs
the system needs to process.
Press the voice icon. When prompted, say,
"Bluetooth audio", then any of the
following:

"Connections"
"Pause"
"Play"
"Play next track"
"Play previous track"

Safety Information
WARNING
Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and

against the use of any hand-held device
while driving and encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible.
Make sure you are aware of all applicable
local laws that may affect the use of
electronic devices while driving.
• Do not attempt to service or repair the
system. See an authorized dealer.
• Do not operate playing devices if the
power cords or cables are broken, split
or damaged. Place cords and cables
out of the way, so they do not interfere
with the operation of pedals, seats,
compartments or safe driving abilities.• Do not leave playing devices in your
vehicle during extreme conditions as it
could cause them damage. See your
device's user guide for further
information.
• For your safety, some SYNC functions
are speed-dependent. Their use is
limited to when your vehicle is traveling
at speeds under 3 mph (5 km/h).
Make sure that you review your device's
manual before using it with SYNC.
