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 lights 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 page136 for
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 disp lay 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:
The NAVI TALK and NAVI BACK
buttons are deactivated while using the
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® feature.

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 page136.
 Lower the A/C fan speed during voice recognition operation, and
adjust the airflow from both the
dashboard and side vents so they do
not blow against the microphone on
the ceiling.
 Close the windows and the sunroof.

the same time, the system may
misinterpret your command.
 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.

Command Help on the
Information screen.
