System Setup
Voice Control System
Your vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation of the
navigation system functions.
The voice control sy
stem uses the and buttons on the steering wheel and a
microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.
For details of the button, button and microphone position, see the Owner's
Manual.
Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition wh en using the navigation voice control
system:
• Make sure the correct screen is displa yed
for the voice command that you are
using. The system recogniz es only certain commands.
Available navigation commands:
2 Navigation Commands P. 136
• Close the windows and moonroof *.
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow onto the microphone on
the ceiling.
• Speak in a clear, natural speaking voice without pausing between words.
• Reduce any background noise if possible. The
system may misinterpret your
command if more than one person is speaking at the same time.
1Voice Control System
When you press the button, the system prompts
you to say a voice command. Press and release the button again to bypass this prompt and give a
command.
1 Voice Recognition
The voice control system can only be used from the
driver’s seat because the microphone unit removes

Reference Information
System Limitations
GPS
The signals received from GPS satellites are
extremely weak (less than a millionth of the
strength of a local FM station) and require
an unobstructed view of the sky. The GPS
antenna is located in the dashboard. The
signal reception can easily be interrupted or
interfered with by the following:
• Metallic window tint on the front or side wind
ows
• Cellular phones, PDAs, or other electronic
d
evices docked in a cradle or lying loose
on the dashboard
• Remote starters or “hidden” vehicle
tracking system
s mounted near the
navigation unit
• Audio electronic devices mounted near
the nav
igation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, highway overpasses, tunnels, or overhead
electrical power
wires GPS is operated by the U.S. Department of
Defense

. For security reasons, there are
certain inaccuracies bu ilt into GPS for which
the navigation system must constantly
compensate. This can cause occasional
positioning errors of up to several hundred
feet (meters).
Address Calculation
The destination icon shows only the
approximate location of a destination
address. This occurs if the number of
possible addresses is different from the
number of actual addr esses on a block. For
example, the address 1425 on a 1400 block
with 100 possible addresses (because it is
followed by the 1500 block) will be shown a
quarter of the way down the block by the
system. If there are only 25 actual addresses
on the block, the actual location of address
1425 would be at the end of the block.
Database
The digitized map database reflects
conditions as they existed at various points
in time before production. Accordingly,
your database may contain inaccurate or
incomplete data or information due to the
passage of time, road construction,
changing conditions, or other causes.
For example, some places/landmarks may
be missing when
you search the database
because the name was misspelled, the place
was improperly categorized, or a place/
landmark is not yet in the database. This is
also true for police st ations, hospitals, and
other public institutions. Do not rely on the
navigation system if you need law
enforcement or hospital services. Always
check with local in formation sources.
