Navigation System13
Getting Started
Using the Voice Control System
You should use the voice control system as much as possible, and consider manual entry using the joystick as a backup method of entry.
Most of the system’s functions can be controlled by voice commands activated with the NAVI TALK button. To control the navigation system by voice:
• Press and release the NAVI TALK button.
• Wait for the beep.
• Give a voice command.
Once the microphone picks up your command, the system changes the display in response to the command and prompts you for the next command. Using the NAVI TALK button, answer the prompts as required.
If the system does not understand a command or you wait too long to give a command, it responds with “Pardon,” “Please repeat,” or “Would you say again.” If the system cannot perform a command or the command is not appropriate for the screen you are on, it sounds a beep.
Anytime you are unsure of what voice commands are available on a screen, you can always say “Help.” The system will then read the list of available commands to you.
When you give a command, the system generally either repeats the command as a confirmation or asks you for further information. If you do not wish to hear this feedback, you can turn it off. However, hearing the feedback will familiarize you with the way the system expects commands to be phrased. See the Voice Recognition Feedback setting in Setup.
If you hear a prompt such as “Please use the touch screen to...” or “Please choose an area with the joystick,” the system is asking for input that cannot be performed using the voice control system.
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 vo ice command that you are using. See Voice Command Index on page 140.
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow against the microphone on the ceiling.
• Close the windows and the sunroof.
• If more than one person is speaking at the same time, the system may misinterpret your command.

Getting Started
Using the On-screen
Keyboard
When the system needs input from you, the display changes to a keyboard. Use the displayed letters to enter the information. Enter each letter by one of the following methods:
• Using the voice control system, say the desired letter on the screen.
• Move the highlighting to the desired letter using the joystick, then push in on the joystick.
• Touch the desired le tter on the screen.
When speaking the letters or using “spell mode,” you can substitute the name that represents each letter or symbol. This improves recognition. The system will only re spond to the names shown in the following graphic. For example:
• To select the letter “A”: Say, “ A”; “ Alpha”; or “Apple.”
• To select the letter “M”: Say, “ M”; “ Mike”; or “Mary.”
The names that can be used for each lette r are shown below. For additional keyboard symbols, see page 146.

Getting Started
Each entered letter will appear at the top of the display. Say or select Space to enter a space between words. Say or select Delete to erase a letter entered incorrectly.
When entering an address, the system searches the database for words that match the letters you are entering. As a result, you will notice that some letters are no longer available.
When the system finds only one entry that matches, it completes the entry of the name for you. If the system finds more than one entry that matches your input, the system displays a list.
Tip:
If you are unsure of the spelling of a name, enter the lette rs that you are sure of, and then select List. The system displays a list of names that most closely matches your input.
You can choose to have your keyboard displayed in alphabetized format as shown below:
Or in a regular keyboard (QWERTY) format as shown below:
See Keyboard Layout in the Setup screen (second).
