Voice Control Operation

Your vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation of most of 
the navigation system functions.
The voice control system uses the 

 (Talk) and 

 (hang-up/back) buttons on 

the steering wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.

To achieve optimum voice recognition when using the 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 voice commands.

on the ceiling.

•

Speak clearly 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.
