recognize voice commands if there
is too much background noise, such
as noise from open windows or loud
talking inside the vehicle.
When to Speak : A tone sounds to
indicate that the system is ready for
a voice command. Wait for the tone
and then speak. How to Speak :
Speak clearly in a
calm and natural voice.

front audio system speakers and
overrides the audio system. Use the
Oknob during a call to change the
volume level. The system maintains
a minimum volume level.
