SYSTEM OPERATING TIPS

If the Voice Recognition system does not recognize
your voice commands:
1. Be sure to wait for the tone/beep before speaking
a voice command.
2. Reduce background noise as much as possible by
closing the windows and moonroof.
3. Make sure there are no other conversations in the
car at the same time.
4. Lower HVAC blower fan speed and point vents
away from the ceiling microphone.
5. Speak naturally. Speaking too fast, too slow, too soft,
or too loud makes voice recognition more difficult.
6. Confirm the correct voice commands are being
used. Glance at the screen to see the currently
available commands.
7. Train the system using the Speaker Adaptation Mode. See your Owner’s \
Manual for
detailed information.

Press the or button on the steering wheel to interrupt the voice prompts at any
time and speak a command after the tone.

For vehicles not equipped with Navigation:
• To use the system faster, you may speak the second level commands with t\
he main
menu command on the main menu. For example, press the
or button on the
steering wheel, and after the tone, say “Call Redial”.

For vehicles equipped with Navigation:
• Refer to the “Voice recognition (section 9)” of your Navigation \
System Owner’s Manual
for more information.

The “Help” command can be used to hear a list of available command\
s at any time.

When speaking phonebook names, please be aware some cellular phones requ\
ire the last
name to be spoken before the first name. For example, “Michael Smith”\
may be spoken as
“Smith Michael”.

To cancel a Voice Recognition session, simply wait 5 seconds, say “Ca\
ncel” or “Quit” or
press and hold the
or button on the steering wheel for 5 seconds.

Bluetooth® Streaming Audio with Navigation (if so equipped)
If you have a compatible Bluetooth® device with streaming audio (A2DP and AVRCP
profiles), you can set up the wireless connection between your Bluetoot\
h® device and your
vehicle’s audio system. This connection allows you to listen to audio\
from the Bluetooth®
device using your vehicle’s speakers.

A cellular telephone should not be used while driving so full attention \
may be given to
vehicle operation.*

To use your connected Bluetooth® device to
stream audio, it will need to be connected as an
audio device. The following procedure will initially
connect a Bluetooth
® device as an audio player and
allow you to switch between devices.
1. Press the SETTING button on the control panel
and touch the “Bluetooth” key on
the display.
2. Select “Connected Devices”.
3. Select “Audio Player”.
4. Select the name of the device that you are
attempting to connect as an audio player.
5. Select “Select”.
6. Verify that the system confirms that the device
has been selected as an audio player.

Once your Bluetooth® device has been connected
as an audio device, push the DISC•AUX button on
the control panel to select the Bluetooth
® Streaming
Audio player.

Bluetooth® connectivity issues can usually be
resolved with a reboot of your cellular phone if you
do not regularly turn off your cellular phone. Otherwise, try updating y\
our cellular phone
with the latest software.
