Getting Started
 After pressing and releasing the NAVI TALK button, wait for the
beep, then give a voice command.
 Give a voice command in a clear, natural speaking voice without
pausing between words.
 If the system cannot recognize your command because of background
noise, speak louder.
 If more than one pe rson is speaking at
the same time, the system may
misinterpret your command.
 If you are still having trouble with the voice control sy stem, refer to Voice
Command Help on the
Information screen.Selecting an Item (Button)

can be selected (like buttons with titles
such as OK or Return ). To select an

all selectable items on the screen,
including some listed items, are
recognized by the voice control
system.
 Touch the desired item on the screen.
 Move the highlighting to the desired item with the joystick, then push in
on the joystick.
Tip
If items are grayed out (very dark
colored), this means that they cannot be
selected.

following:
 Use the joystick to scroll through the list item by item.
 Use the voice control system and say “Next ” or “Previous ” or use the “on

the list page by page.
If you cannot find the desired name, or

Frequently Asked Questions

Problem Solution
Why does the Disclaimer screen need to be displayed every
time I start the car? I am the only driver. The
Disclaimer screen reminds you and your guest drivers to always
operate the navigation sy stem in a safe manner.
The Setup or Information screen has “grayed out” items that
I cannot select. Why? You need to select
OK on the Disclaimer screen to view these items. See
System Function Diagram on page20.
I tried entering an address, but th e city or street could not be
found. Is there any other way to route to the location? Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area Try entering the street
first. In rural “unverified” areas
or new subdivisions, streets may be
missing, or only partiall y numbered. Try selecting the destination directly
from the map. See By Map Input on page
36.
When I enter an address, some letters become grayed out. Is
this normal? Yes, as you enter each letter in an addr
ess or a point of interest (POI), the
system looks in the databa se to see what letters are possible and “grays out”
letters that do not apply.
How do I delete Personal Address, Previous Destinations, or
the Home Address? This is done in Setup, under “P
ersonal Information.” See page
74.
I cannot hear the navigation sy stem voice. 1) Ensure that Volume in the Setup screen (first) is not Off. See page
71.
2) Go to “Basic Settings” in the Setup screen (second), and set Voice
Recognition Feedback to On . See page
90.
The voice control system is ha ving difficulty recognizing my
Voice commands. Ensure that the vents are not blow
ing on the microphone on the ceiling,
place your hand over the microphone; if you feel any airflow, adjust the
vents. Ensure the vehicle is as quiet as possible, and that you are using the
correct command when speaking (See Improving Voice Recognition on
page
13). Say “Help ” at any screen to see a list of the applicable voice
commands. If the system cannot r ecognize your command because of
background noise, speak louder.
When the system pronounces the street name in the guidance
command, or reads the destinat ion address it sounds strange.
What causes this? The basic guidance phrase uses a studio
-recorded voice, but the street name
is pronounced by the system us ing a machine-generated voice.
Consequently, the name may be misp ronounced or sound strange at times.
