• When you press the Voice Command
button located on the steering wheel,
you will hear a beep. After the beep, give your command. If you do not know what
commands to say, you can say “help” and the system will provide options to you.
If you ever wish to interrupt the system while it lists options, press the Voice
Command
button, and after the beep, say your command.
