Voice Control Operation
Your vehicle has a voice control syst em that allows hands-free operation.
The voice control system uses the (tal k) and (back) buttons on the steering
wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.

• The system recognizes natural language and accepts free-form voice commands.
An example of voice commands:
