Accessories Precautions
The GPS antenna is located on the roof. Trees, tall buildings, highway overpasses, tunnels, or overhead electrical power wires can easily interrupt or interfere GPS
reception.
Signal noise from devices such as radar detectors, vehicle tracking devices, remote starters, and additional amplifiers can disrupt the navigation system. If you
install any such item, install it away from the navigation display and antenna.
Important Safety Information
Avoid focusing on the screen or manually operating the system controls while driving.
Certain on-screen controls are disabled when driving, however most of the voice commands continue to function. Pull to the side of the road if you need to devote
more attention and time to look at the screen or access additional menus.
Route guidance may conflict with street closures, road construction, detours, and out-of-date map data.
The system itself may also have limitations. Verify route information by carefully observing roads, signs, and signals. Always use your own judgment and obey
traffic laws. 2

System Setup
Voice Control System
Your vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation of the
navigation system functions.
The voice control system uses the (Talk) and
(Hang-Up) buttons on the
steering wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.
For details of the (Talk) button, (Hang-Up) button and microphone position,
see the Owner's Manual.
Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition when using the navigation voice control
system:
• Make sure the correct screen is displayed for the voice command that you are
using. The system recognizes only certain commands.
Available navigation commands:
2Voice Commands P. 118
• Close the windows and sunroof.
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow onto the microphone
on the ceiling.
• Speak in a clear, natural speaking voice without pausing between words.
• Reduce any background noise if possible. The system may misinterpret your
command if more than one person is speaking at the same time.
1Voice Control System
When you press the (Talk) button, the system
prompts you to say a voice command. Press and
release the (Talk) button again to bypass this
prompt and give a command.
1Voice Recognition
The voice control system can only be used from the
driver’s seat because the microphone unit removes
noises from the front passenger’s side.
