vehicle to free itself more effectively. It is suitable for driving on
roads where the tires can become buried, such as deep snow, dry
sand, or muddy roads.

VOICE RECOGNITION
With SUBARU STARLINK®, simple voice commands can control
features like navigation, entertainment, phone calls, and, on select
models, climate control. A microphone is located in the overhead
console; however, you do not need to speak directly into it to
activate the voice command features. Press the Voice Recognition
button on the steering wheel to start the voice recognition system.
Press and hold the button to cancel the system.
For help with what features are available with voice recognition,
press the "Help" button on the screen or press the voice recognition
button and say "Help".
Tips
The system may not recognize the voice command due to various
types of interference. Some causes for voice command interference
are:
• The command is spoken too quickly or at a low or high volume.
• The command is incorrect or unclear.
• The window is open, the climate control system is set on high, or
the ventilation is directed toward the microphone.
• Passengers are talking while the command is spoken.
NOTE: The system is designed to recognize a variety of commands, but certain words,
accents or speech patterns may be difficult for the system to recognize.
