Getting Started
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 system and
the 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 light 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 page132 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 disp lay returns to the
previous screen. When the previous
screen appears, the system replays the
last prompt. This button is enabled for
the 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.

Driving to Your Destination
Map Orientation
The map can be orientated two ways:
 North-up: North pointing up as you would normally view a paper map.
 Heading-up: The map constantly rotates so the road you are driving on
always points up (as you see the road
through your front windshield).
NOTE:
The red arrow in both heading symbols
always shows the direction north. Push in on the
Interface Dial on the
map or guidance screen and select
North-up or Heading-up to switch
between the available orientation, or say
“Display heading up,” or “Display north
up.”
In the larger map scales (above 1 mile or
1.6 kilometer), the map is always
oriented with north facing upward. You
cannot change the orientation.
To view other areas on the map, move
the Interface Dial left, right, up, or
down. The map will shift in that
direction. To return the map to your
current location, press either the MAP/
GUIDE , the CANCEL , or the NAVI
BACK button on the steering wheel. The display automati
cally changes to
the map screen when you reach your
destination. Press the MENU button to
return to the MENU screen ( Enter
destination by ).
NOTE:
 For information on the available voice commands, see Voice
Command Index on page132.
 If you are on a route and the Interface Dial is moved, the “Time
