Voice Activation
JOL.275
General
Voice Activation, currently available in a limited
number of markets, provides a convenient way of
controlling the following vehicle systems (where
fitted):
¥ Sound System (radio, cassette tape player and
CD player)
¥ In-car Telephone
¥ Climate Control System.
The system is controlled by the Voice button on
the left-hand side of the steering wheel. Voice
commands are picked up by a directional
microphone mounted on the headlining between
the overhead console and the sunvisor. The
microphone is also used for the in-car telephone.
When giving a command, audible feedback will be
heard through the sound system speakers and
messages will be shown on the message center
display. Audible feedback can be turned off if
required. The system is capable of storing unique
nametags for 20 radio stations and 40 phone
numbers. Verbal playback of nametag directories
is provided by issuing the proper voice command
(RADIO DIRECTORY or PHONE DIRECTORY).Personal directories of nametags for phone dialing
and radio station presets can be created and
spoken command help is provided.
Language and Accent
Commands are given in English in a natural
speaking voice, without having to pause between
words. Most United kingdom accents (for vehicles
equipped with a UK Voice Module) or North
American accents (for vehicles equipped with a US
Voice Module) are understood without difficulty
but the system also provides for voice training, if
required. Voice feedback is given in UK English
(for vehicles equipped with a UK Voice Module) or
US English (for vehicles equipped with a US Voice
Module).
Voice Commands
Voice commands are generally in the form of:
¥ System, e.g. Radio
¥ Function, e.g. Tune
¥ Action Required, e.g. 99.7 (to select the
frequency).
Note:
1. Voice commands cannot be given while a
phone call is in progress.
2. While a voice command is being processed,
the command can be canceled by pressing the
Voice button again.
3. Audible feedback can be interrupted by
pressing the Voice button during the verbal
playback. In this case the command is not
canceled.
Command Help
There are commands available which give
spoken/visual help for the voice commands. This
provides a useful reminder of the commands
available while driving.
The commands are:
VOICE HELP; RADIO HELP; TAPE HELP; CD HELP;
PHONE HELP AND CLIMATE CONTROL HELP.

Using the System
Initialization
When the ignition switch is turned to position ÔIIÕ, the initialization of the system is carried out, which
takes a few seconds. When complete, the system is ready to accept voice commands. If the voice
button is pressed before initialization is complete, the message center display will show ÔVOICE NOT
READYÕ.
Audible Feedback, Confirmation & Prompts
For most voice commands, audible feedback of the command, as understood by the system, is available.
Audible feedback may be turned on or off by giving the VOICE FEEDBACK command.
For the phone dial commands, confirmation of the number, before it is dialed, may be turned on or off
by giving the PHONE FEEDBACK command. During some commands for voice training, the user is
prompted by the system to give the next item of information.
For specific operation of all the controls, refer to the OwnerÕs Voice Activation Handbook.
Voice Training
The Voice Activation System is able to interpret most English speakers without difficulty. If, however, it is
found that commands are sometimes not being recognized, the voice training procedure can be carried
out.
Voice Memories
The system has two memories (A and B) for storing the trained voices. The Voice Memory Directory
command provides an indication of the availability of the two voice memories (Full or Available).
Giving Commands after Training
After Voice training the system will automatically recognize a speaker whose voice is held in voice
memory. The system can still be used by other speakers with no loss of response.
Error Messages
In addition to the voice command prompts given by the system, the following error messages may be
encountered. The messages are shown on the message center with voice confirmation (error tone or
voice playback).
Message Explanation
NO SPEECH DETECTED The system did not detect any speech when the voice button
was pressed
NAME TAG TOO LONG A nametag must not take longer than three seconds to say
NAME TAG NOT UNIQUE The nametag (or similar sounding name) has already been
used
COMMAND NOT RECOGNIZED The command was not recognized from the list of voice
commands
HANDBRAKE MUST BE ENGAGED The handbrake must be applied for voice training
RADIO MUST BE IN TUNER MODE The sound system must be in radio mode before giving the

Reverse Park Control
General
The function of the Reverse Park Control (RPC) is
to provide an audible warning to the driver of the
distance to obstacles near the rear bumper of the
vehicle when reversing. The system operates
through four ultrasonic sensors that send out
beams covering the area behind the vehicle.
These beams are reflected by obstructions behind
the vehicle and re-enter the sensors. The reflected
beam information is processed by the reverse
park control module (RPCM) to calculate the

RPC Speaker distance of the obstruction. The sounder is then
activated and gives the appropriate warning signal
starting from an intermittent beep (at
approximately 0.8 meters) up to the continuous
ÔstopÕ tone (at approximately 0.2 meters).
The sensors are fitted, equally spaced, across the
rear bumper. The system is activated when the
gear selector is moved to the reverse position
whilst the engine is running. It can be switched off
by pressing the switch in the overhead console. A

127 red indicator light in the switch illuminates when
the system is switched off. It is reset every time
the ignition is cycled.
Should there be a failure in the system, the red
indicator light in the switch is constantly
illuminated and a fault code is logged in the
PACM.
The reversing aid comprises the following
components:
¥ Harness
¥ PACM located on the LH side of the spare
wheel well
¥ Speaker located under the trim on the rear
parcel shelf
¥ Four sensors located in the bumpers (see
page 13)
¥ Sensor holders located in the bumpers
