The system will ask for the state, city, and
street name followed by the house number
as separate inputs.
Before using voice recognition, roll up all
windows and set the climate control fan on
low or off to reduce background noise in
the cabin. Speak at a normal volume and pace, and
pronounce words clearly.
Streets should be spoken without prefixes or
suffixes. Street names should be spoken as
in these examples:
1st Street, say: "First"
E 15th Street, say" "Fifteenth"
190th Street, say "One hundred ninetieth"
Point Court, say "Point"
A large TALK icon will illuminate on the
NAV screen to signal when to speak your
command.
The navigation system's voice recognition feature will compare your spoken words with
computer-generated word patterns preprogrammed in the database. If the system does not
provide your intended match, please try a different pronunciation. Voice-activation names are
not available for every street and city.
