The display is located on the right side of
your instrument cluster (A). You can use your
steering wheel controls to view and make
minor adjustments to active modes without
taking your hands off the wheel. For
example:
•
In Entertainment mode, you can view
what is now playing, change the audio
source, select memory presets and make
some adjustments.
• In Phone mode, you can accept or reject
an incoming call.
• If your vehicle is equipped with
Navigation, you can view the current
route or activate a route.
• In Efficiency Leaves mode, you can learn
how your vehicle informs you of your
driving efficiency. Press OK to exit the
menu. Use the
OK and arrow buttons on the right
side of your steering wheel to scroll through
the available modes.
The selection menu expands and different
options appear.
• Press the up and down arrows to scroll
through the modes.
• Press the right arrow to enter the mode.
• Press the left or right arrows to make
adjustments within the chosen mode.
• Press
OK to confirm your selection. Note:
If your vehicle is not equipped with
Navigation, Compass appears in the display
instead of Navigation. If you press the right
arrow to go into the Compass menu, you can
see the compass graphic. The compass
displays the direction in which the vehicle is
traveling, not true direction (for example, if
the vehicle is traveling west, the middle of
the compass graphic displays west; north
displays to the left of west though its true
direction is to the right of west).
Using Voice Commands
This system helps you control many features
using voice commands. This allows you to
keep your hands on the wheel and focus on
what is in front of you. The system provides
feedback through audible tones, prompts,
questions and spoken confirmations
depending on the situation and the chosen
level of interaction (voice settings).
The system also asks short questions
(confirmation prompts) when it is not sure of
your request or when there are multiple
possible responses to your request.
