■Limitations for Manual Operation

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 system uses the (Talk) and
(Hang-Up) buttons on the
steering wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.
For details of the (Talk) button, (Hang-Up) button and microphone position,
see the Owner's Manual.
Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition when using the navigation voice control
system:
• Make sure the correct screen is displayed for the voice command that you are
using. The system recognizes only certain commands.
Available navigation commands:
2Voice Commands P. 118
• Close the windows and sunroof.
• 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 (Talk) button, the system
prompts you to say a voice command. Press and
release the (Talk) button again to bypass this
prompt and give a command.
1Voice Recognition
The voice control system can only be used from the
driver’s seat because the microphone unit removes
noises from the front passenger’s side.
