system function followed by the sub command. System functions are
listed in bold below; subcommands are listed beneath. For example, if
you wanted the map to be shown on the system screen, you would say

In” instead of “Navigation Zoom In”. After 30 seconds has elapsed, the
voice system will start the next voice session from the main menu.
