Voice Command System Operation

the Voice Interface System to recognize user voice com-
mands may be negatively affected by rapid speaking or a
raised voice level.

in safe driving conditions following local applicable
laws. All attention should be focused on the safe
operation of the vehicle. 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
command.
NOTE: If you do not say a command within a few
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 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 commands. 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”.
