Ensure that you use the HFL
buttons, not the NAVI buttons, to
give HFL voice commands. To operate HFL, use the HFL Talk
and Back buttons on the left side of
the steering wheel.
When HFL is in use, the sound
comes through the vehicle’s f ront
audio system speakers. If the audio
system is in use while operating
either of the HFL buttons or making
a call, HFL overrides the audio
system. To change the volume level,
use the audio system volume knob or
the steering wheel volume controls.
The HFL microphone is on the
ceiling, between the f ront map lights
and the HomeLink buttons. On
models with navigation system, the
microphone is shared with the
navigation system.
HFL and the navigation system have
separate voice recognition systems.
When HFL is in use, a voice
command f or the navigation system
will not be recognized even if you
press the navigation Talk button. In
this case, you will hear two short
beeps, and the HFL system has no
prompt.

Call or Dial command, you can say
them all at once, or you can
separate them in blocks of 3, 4, 7,
