Navigation System13Getting Started
Voice Control BasicsYour vehicle has a voice control system
that allows hands-free operation of most
of the navigation system functions. You
can also control the audio, phone, and
climate control system. The voice
control system uses the TALK and
BACK buttons on the steering wheel
and a microphone near the map lights on
the ceiling.
NOTE:
While using the voic e control system,
the audio system is muted.
TALK buttonThis button activates the voice control
system. Press and release it when you
want to give a vo ice command. See
Voice Command Index on page 154 for
a list of voice commands.
BACK buttonThis 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.
When you press this button during voice
recognition, voice recognition is ended.
(The display does not return to the
previous screen.)

Navigation System
Getting StartedUsing the Voice Control SystemYou should use the voice control system
as much as possible, and consider
manual entry using the Interface Dial
as a backup method.
Most of the system’s functions can be
controlled by voice commands activated
with the TALK button. To control the
navigation system by voice:
• Press and release the TALK button. A
guidance prompt will be played, and
a pop-up voice icon ( ) will appear
in the upper left corner of the screen.
• Wait for the beep.
• Give a voice command. (Voice commands that the system recognizes
are highlighted.)
Once the microphone picks up your
command, the system changes the
display in response to the command.
Press the TALK button to get a
guidance prompt for the next command.
NOTE:
To interrupt guidance prompts, press
the TALK button again. Wait for the
beep, and give a command. If the system does not understand a
command or you wait too long to give a
command, it responds with “Pardon? No
comment was heard. Please press the
Talk button and say a command.” If the
system cannot perform a command or
the command is not
appropriate for the
screen you are on, a beep will sound.
You can find out which voice
commands are available for a particular
screen by saying “Help.” The system
will display and read the list of available
commands to you. (When Help is
grayed out, this feature cannot be used.)
When you give a command, the system
either performs the command or
transitions to the next step in a task.
NOTE:
Guidance prompts can be turned off.
See page 53. If you hear a prompt such as “Please use
the
Interface Dial to...” or “Please
choose an area with the Interface Dial,”
the system is asking for input that
cannot be performed using the voice
control system.
Improving Voice RecognitionTo achieve optimum voice recognition
when using the 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 154.
• It is best if the windows and moonroof are closed. If they are open,
speak a little louder to overcome the
wind noises.

Navigation System15Getting Started
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents
so air does not blow against the
microphone on the ceiling.
• If more than one person is speaking at the same time, the system may
misinterpret your command.
• Give a voice command in a clear, natural speaking voice without
pausing between words.
• Try to reduce any background noise.
• If you are still having trouble with the voice control system, refer to Voice
Help on the INFO screen ( Main
Info. ) or say “Help” while the
icon is displayed on the top left of the
screen.
NOTE:
The voice control system can only be
used in the driver’s seat because the
microphone unit removes noises from
the front passenger’s side.
Selecting an Item (Button)
on the ScreenOn most screens, there are items that
can be selected (like buttons with titles
such as OK or Return ). To select an
item on any screen, do one of the
following:
• Use the voice control system and say
the name of the desired item. Almost
all selectable items on the screen,
including some listed items, are
recognized by the voice control
system.
• Move the highlighting to the desired item with the Interface Dial or its
knob, then push in on the Interface
Dial .
Tip:
If items are grayed out, this means that
they cannot be selected.
Selecting an Item in a ListTo scroll through a list, do one of the
following:
• Rotate the Interface Dial knob to
scroll one item at a time.
• Use the voice control system to scroll page by page. For example, to scroll
up, say “Up” or “Previous.” To scroll
down, say “Next” or “Down.”
If you cannot find the desired name, or
have made an error, return to the
previous screen by pressing the
CANCEL or the BACK button on the
steering wheel.
To select the desired item in the list, do
one of the following:
• Use the voice control system, and say
the item number of the desired item.
• Rotate the Interface Dial knob to
move the highlighting to the item,
then push in on the Interface Dial.

Navigation System
Getting StartedEntering InformationWhen the system needs input from you,
the display changes to a screen similar
to the one on the next page. You can
then use the displayed letters, numbers,
or symbols to enter information. You
can enter your keyboard input in either
of the following ways:
• Say the desired letter, number, or symbol on the screen if you are
entering a city or street name.
• Move the highlighting to the desired letter, number, or symbol by rotating
the Interface Dial knob , then push
in on the Interface Dial.
Each entered letter will appear at the top
of the display. To enter a space between
words, say “Space” or move the
Interface Dial to the right. To delete
an entry, say “Delete” or move the
Interface Dial to the left. If a letter has options (such as accent
marks or symbols), they will appear in
gray next to the se
lected letter on the
upper row. Move the Interface Dial up
to select OPTION , and use the
Interface Dial knob to select the
letter.
To enter symbols, rotate the Interface
Dial Knob and select # or @, then
move the Interface Dial up to select
OPTION .
When entering an address, the system
searches the database for words that
match the letters you are entering. As a
result, you will notice that some letters
are no longer available.
When the system fi nds only one entry
that matches, it co mpletes the name
entry for you. If the system finds more
than one entry that matches your input, a
list of these matches is displayed. Tip:
When entering a name of a city, street,
or place, or if you are unsure of the
spelling of the name, enter the letters
that you are sure of, then move the
Interface Dial
down to select LIST.
The system will display a list of names
that most closely match your input. For
each letter that is en tered, the number of
corresponding choices is displayed on
the right-hand side.
