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 and 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 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 page138 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 display returns to the 
previous screen. When the previous 
screen appears, the system replays the 
last prompt. This button is enabled for 
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. 
See your Owner’s Manual and the 
official website
