Voice Control BasicsYour vehicle has a voice control system
that allows hands-free operation of most
of the navigation system functions. You
can also control the audio and climate
control system. The voice control
system uses the TALK and BACK
buttons on the steering wheel and a
microphone near the map lights on the
ceiling.
NOTE:
While using the voic e control system,
the audio system is muted.
TALK buttonThis button activates the voice control
system. Press and release it when you
want to give a vo ice command. See
Voice Command Index on page 163 for
a list of voice commands.
BACK buttonThis button has the same function as the
CANCEL button. When you press and
release it, the display returns to the
previous screen. When the previous
screen appears, the system replays the
last prompt.
When you press this button during voice
recognition, voice recognition is ended.
(The display does not return to the
previous screen.)

Getting StartedUsing the Voice Control SystemYou should use the voice control system
as much as possible, and consider
manual entry using the Interface Dial
as a backup method.
Most of the system’s functions can be
controlled by voice commands activated
with the TALK button. To control the
navigation system by voice:
 Press and release the TALK button. A
pop-up voice icon ( ) will appear in
the upper left corner of the screen.
 Wait for the beep.
 Give a voice command. (Voice commands that the system recognizes
are highlighted.)
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 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, a
beep will sound.
You can find out which voice
commands are available for a particular
screen by saying “Help.” The system
will display and read the list of available
commands to you. (When
Help is
grayed out, this feature cannot be used.)
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
Interface Dial to...” or “Please
choose an area with the Interface Dial,”
the system is asking for input that
cannot be performed using the voice
control system.
Improving Voice RecognitionTo achieve optimum voice recognition
when using either the navigation or
Bluetooth ® HandsFreeLink® voice
control system, the fo llowing 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 page 163.
 It is best if the windows and moonroof are closed. If they are open,
speak a little louder to overcome the
wind noises.

Getting Started
 Adjust the dashboard and side vents
so air does not blow against the
microphone on the ceiling.
 If more than one person is speaking at the same time, the system may
misinterpret your command.
 After pressing and releasing the TALK button, wait for the beep, then
give a voice command while the
icon is displayed on the top left of the
screen.
 Give a voice command in a clear, natural speaking voice without
pausing between words.
 Try to reduce any background noise.
 If you are still having trouble with the voice control system, refer to Voice
Help on the INFO screen ( Main
Info. ) or say “Help” while the
icon is displayed on the top left of the
screen.
NOTE:
The voice control system can only be
used in the driver’s seat because the
microphone unit removes noises from
the front passenger’s side.
Selecting an Item (Button)
on the ScreenOn most screens, there are items that
can be selected (like 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.
 Move the highlighting to the desired item with the Interface Dial or its
knob , then push in on the Interface
Dial .
Tip:
If items are grayed out, this means that
they cannot be selected.
Selecting an Item in a ListTo scroll through a list, do one of the
following:
 Rotate the Interface Dial knob to
scroll one item at a time.
 Use the voice control system to scroll page by page. For example, to scroll
up, say “Up” or “Previous.” To scroll
down, say “Next” or “Down.”
If you cannot find the desired name, or
have made an error, return to the
previous screen by pressing the
CANCEL or the BACK button on the
steering wheel.
To select the desired item in the list, do
one of the following:
 Use the voice control system, and say
the item number of the desired item.
 Rotate the Interface Dial knob to
move the highligh ting to the item,
then push in on the Interface Dial.
