Helpful Hints
• Make sure the interior of your vehicle is as quiet as possible. Wind noise from
open windows and road vibrations may
prevent the system from correctly
recognizing spoken voice commands.
• After pressing the voice command icon, wait until after the tone sounds and a
message appears before saying a voice
command. Any voice command spoken
prior to this does not register with the
system. • Speak naturally, without long pauses
between words.
• At any time, you can interrupt the system while it is speaking by pressing the voice
command icon.
