RECALCULATION OF ROUTE
If the vehicle deviates from the selected guidance route, the navigation
system will automatically recalculate the route from the current location.
VOICE GUIDANCE PROMPTS
Once a route is selected, you will begin to hear voice guidance prompts.
If you are not currently on the route, there will be a prompt. There may
be up to three voice prompts for each maneuver, depending on the
vehicle speed and the distance before the maneuver. The voice prompts
will announce all road names in route guidance instructions. Road name
pronunciations may vary from local pronunciations. The last prompt will
be a double tone and will give just enough time for you to complete the
maneuver.
To adjust the volume level of the voice guidance prompts, turn the
volume control during a voice prompt, or set to the desired level on the
FEEDBACK screen. (Refer to theMenusection).

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
“Navigation Show Map”.
If the voice system is already engaged in a specific function, there is no
need to continue repeating that function for future commands within a
30 second period. For example, if you just finished saying “Navigation
Show Map” and then wanted to zoom the map in, you could say “Zoom
In” instead of “Navigation Zoom In”. After 30 seconds has elapsed, the
voice system will start the next voice session from the main menu.
