Getting Started
Improving Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition
when using either the navigation or
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® voice
control system, the following guidelines
should be followed:
NOTE:
Make sure the correct screen is
displayed for the voice command that
you are using. See Voice Command
Index on page136.
Lower the A/C fan speed during voice recognition operation, and
adjust the airflow from both the
dashboard and side vents so they do
not blow against the microphone on
the ceiling.
Close the windows and the sunroof.
If more than one pe rson is speaking at
the same time, the system may
misinterpret your command.
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 you are still having trouble with the voice control system, refer to Voice
Command Help on the
Information screen.
Selecting an Item (Button)
on the Screen
On most screens, there are items that
can be selected (lik e buttons with titles
such as OK or Return ). To select an
item on any screen, do one of the
following:
Use the voice control system and say the name of the desired item. Almost
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 highlightin g to the desired
item with the joystick, then push in
on the joystick.
Tip:
If items are grayed out, this means that
they cannot be selected.

is clear of objects, move the vehicle to an open space away from tall buildings,
trees, etc.
