22System Setup
Voice Control SystemYour 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, and make and rece ive phone calls using Bluetooth ® HandsFreeLink®.
The voice control system uses the d (Talk) and K (Back) buttons on the steering
wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.
A “Voice Help” feature provides a tutorial that explains how to use the voice control
system.2 Voice Help
P. 5
Command InputIf 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.”
When you give a command, the system ge nerally either repeats the command as a
confirmation or asks you for further informa tion. If you do not wish to hear this
feedback, you can turn it off. However, list ening to the feedback will help familiarize
you with the way the system expe cts commands to be phrased. 2Basic Settings
P. 26
If the system cannot perform a command or the command is not appropriate for the
screen you are on, the system beeps.
If the system responds with prompts such as “Please use the Interface Dial to…” or
“Please choose an area with the Interface Di al,” the system is asking for input that
cannot be performed using the voice control system.
On character input screens, a list of possi ble characters is displayed if the system
does not recognize your command.
You can find out which voice commands are available for a particular screen using
the d Help command. The system will disp lay and read the list of available
commands to you.
1 d (Talk) Button
When you press the d (Talk) button, a helpful
prompt asks what you would like to do. Press
and release the d (Talk) button again to bypass
this prompt and give a command.1 Command Input
The audio system is muted while using the voice
control system.
