12in (1 cm) gap
between the overhead console (if equipped)
and the mirror.
• Always wait for the beep before speaking.
• Speak normally, without pausing, just as you
would speak to a person sitting a few feet/
meters away from you.
• Make sure that no one other than you is
speaking during a voice period.
• Performance is maximized under:
• low-to-medium blower setting,
• low-to-medium vehicle speed,

•low road noise,
• smooth road surface,
• fully closed windows,
• dry weather conditions.
• Even though the system is designed for
users speaking in European English, Dutch,
French, German, Italian, or Spanish accents,
the system may not always work for some.
• When navigating through an automated sys-
tem such as voice mail, or when sending a
page, at the end of speaking the digit string,
make sure to say “Send”.
• Storing names in the phonebook when the
vehicle is not in motion is recommended.

Voice Command System Operation
This Voice Command system al-
lows you to control your AM, FM
radio, disc player, and a memo
recorder.
NOTE:
Take care to speak into the Voice Interface
System as calmly and normally as possible.
The ability of the Voice Interface System to
recognize user voice commands may be
negatively affected by rapid speaking or a
raised voice level.
WARNING!
Any voice commanded system should be
used only in safe driving conditions following
local laws. All attention should be kept on the
roadway ahead. Failure to do so may result in
a collision causing serious injury or death. When you press the Voice Command
button, you will hear a beep. The beep is your

seconds, the system will present you with a
list of options.
If you ever wish to interrupt the system while it
lists options, press the Voice Command
button, listen for the beep, and say your com-
mand.
Pressing the Voice Command
button
while the system is speaking is known as
“barging in.” The system will be interrupted,
and after the beep, you can add or change
commands. This will become helpful once you
start to learn the options.
NOTE:
At any time, you can say the words “Can-
cel”, “Help” or “Main Menu”.
These commands are universal and can be
used from any menu. All other commands can
be used depending upon the active applica-
tion. When using this system, you should speak
clearly and at a normal speaking volume.
The system will best recognize your speech if
the windows are closed, and the heater/air
conditioning fan is set to low.
At any point, if the system does not recognize
one of your commands, you will be prompted to
repeat it.
To hear the first available Menu, press the Voice
Command
button and say “Help” or
“Main Menu”.
CommandsThe Voice Command system understands two
types of commands. Universal commands are
available at all times. Local commands are
available if the supported radio mode is active.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND
WASHERS
The windshield wiper/washer control lever is
located on the left side of the steering column.
The front wipers are operated by rotating a
switch, located on the end of the lever. For
information on the rear wiper/washer, refer to
“Rear Window Features” in “Understanding The
Features Of Your Vehicle”.
Windshield Wiper OperationRotate the end of the lever to one of the first four
detent positions for intermittent settings, the
fifth detent for low wiper operation and the sixth
detent for high wiper operation.
CAUTION!
Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the “park” position. If the wind-
shield wiper switch is turned off, and the
blades cannot return to the “park” position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.
Intermittent Wiper SystemUse one of the four intermittent wiper settings
when weather conditions make a single wiping
cycle, with a variable delay between cycles,
desirable. At driving speeds above 10 mph
(16 km/h), the delay can be regulated from a
maximum of approximately 18 seconds be-
tween cycles (first detent), to a cycle every one
second (fourth detent).
NOTE:
If the vehicle is moving less than 10 mph
(16 km/h), delay times will be doubled.
