     Press  the  button on the steering wheel to interrupt the voice prompts at any time\
 and 
speak a command after the tone. 
    This system has an “Alternate Command Mode” setting that allows th\
e total number and 
length of prompts to be reduced. When activated, you may speak second le\
vel commands 
with the main menu command. For example, press the 
 button on the steering wheel,

 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  require 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  button on the steering wheel for 5 seconds.

Bluetooth® Streaming Audio
    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 don’t regularly\
 turn off your cellular 
phone. Otherwise, try updating your phone with the latest software.
For more information, refer to the “Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems (section 4\
) ” of your Owner’s
