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 signal to give a com-
mand.
NOTE:
If you do not say a command
within a few seconds, the system
will present you with a list of op-
tions.
If you ever wish to interrupt the sys-
tem while it lists options, press the
Voice Command
button, listen
for the beep, and say your command.
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 com- mands. This will become helpful once
you start to learn the options.
NOTE:
At any time, you can say the words
“Cancel”, “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 application.
When using this system, you should
speak clearly and at a normal speak-
ing 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”.

lights, or ignition switch ON again,
the system will cancel the delay.If you turn the headlights off before
the ignition, they will turn off in the
normal manner.
