System Setup
Voice Control System
Your vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation of most of
the navigation system functions. You can also control the audio and climate control
system, and make and receive phone calls using Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®.
The voice control system uses the (Talk) and (Hang-Up/Back) buttons on the
steering wheel and microphones at the top of the navigation screen.
A “Getting Started” feature provides a tutorial that explains how to use the voice
control system.
2Voice Help P. 15
Command Input
If the system does not understand a command or you wait too long to give a
command, the system asks you to repeat the command.
When you give a command, the system generally either repeats the command as a
confirmation or asks you for further information. If you do not wish to hear this
feedback, you can turn it off. However, listening to the feedback will help familiarize
you with the way the system expects commands to be phrased.
2Voice Recognition Settings P. 69
On character input screens, a list of possible characters is displayed if the system
does not recognize your command.
You can find out which voice commands are available for a particular screen using
the “Voice Help” command. The system will display and read the list of available
commands to you.
