Voice Control Basics
Your vehicle has a voice control system 
that allows hands-free operation of most 
of the navigation system functions. You 
can also control the audio system and 
the climate control system. The voice 
control system uses the  NAVI TALK 
and  NAVI BACK  buttons on the 
steering wheel and a microphone near 
the map light on the ceiling.
NOTE:
While using the voice control system, all 
of the speakers (except the RES 
headphones) are muted.
NAVI TALK  button
This button activates  the voice control 
system. Press and release it when you 
want to give a voice command. See 
Voice Command Index  on page
132 fo r 
a list of voice commands.

NAVI BACK button
This button has the same function as the 
CANCEL button. When you press and 
release it, the display returns to the 
previous screen. When the previous 
screen appears, the system replays the 
last prompt. This button is enabled for 
the navigation system commands only. 
However, it can be used to cancel an 
audio or climate control voice command 
up to one second after the command 
confirmation.
NOTE:
For the Touring model, the  NAVI 
TALK  and NAVI BACK  buttons are 
deactivated while using the Bluetooth® 
HandsFreeLink® feature. See your 
vehicle Owner’s manual and the official 
web site ( handsfreelink.honda.com ) for 
information on this system.
Using the Voice Control System
You should use the voice control system 
as much as possible, and consider 
manual entry using the joystick as a 
“back-up” method of entry.
Most of the system’s functions can be 
controlled by voice commands activated 
with the  NAVI TALK  button. To 
control your navigation system by 
voice:
 Press and release the  NAVI TALK 
button.
 Wait for the beep.
 Give a voice command.
Once the microphone picks up your 
command, the system changes the 
display in response to the command and 
prompts you for the next command. 
Using the  NAVI TALK  button, answer 
the prompts as required. If 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.” If the system cannot perform a 
command or the command is not 
appropriate for the screen you are on, it 
sounds a beep.
Anytime you are not sure of what voice 
commands are available on a screen, 
you can always say “Help” at any 
screen. The system can
 then read the list 
of commands to you.
