14Navigation System
Getting Started
When you speak a command, the system
generally either repeats the command as
a confirmation or asks you for further
information. If you do not wish to hear
this feedback, you can turn it off.
However, hearing the feedback will
familiarize you with the way the system
expects commands to be phrased. See
the Voice Recognition Feedback
setting in Setup.
If you hear a prompt such as “Please use
the touch screen to...” or “Please choose
an area with the joystick,” the system is
asking for input that cannot be
performed using the voice control
system.Improving Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition,
when using either the Navigation or
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® voice
control system, the following guidelines
should be followed:
NOTE:
Make sure the correct screen is
displayed for the voice command that
you are using. See Voice Command
Index on page
132 .
Adjust the air flow from both the dashboard and side vents so they do
not blow against the microphone on
the ceiling. Place your hand over the
microphone; if you feel any airflow,
adjust the vents.
Lower the A/C fan speed during voice recognition operation.
Close the windows and the sunroof.
After pressing and releasing the NAVI TALK button, wait for the
beep, then give a voice command.
Give a voice command in a clear, natural speaking voice without
pausing between words. If the system cannot recognize your
command because of background
noise, speak louder.
If more than one person is speaking at the same time, the system may
misinterpret your command.
If you are still having trouble with the voice control system, refer to Voice
Command Help on the
Information screen.
