Voice Control Operation
Your vehicle has a voice control syst em that allows hands-free operation.
The voice control system uses the ( Talk) and (hang-up/back) buttons on
the steering wheel and a microphone near the map lights in the ceiling.
To achieve optimum voice recognition when using the voice control system:
• Make sure the correct screen is displa yed for the voice command that you are
using.
The system recognizes only certain commands.

• Close the windows.
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow onto the microphone in
the ceiling.

• Reduce any background noise if possibl e. The system may misinterpret your
command if more than one person is speaking at the same time.
