following conditions:

• Changes or modifications not expressly approved by

VOICE COMMAND — IF EQUIPPED

Voice Command System Operation

This Voice Command system allows you to
control your AM, FM radio, satellite radio, disc
player, and a memo recorder.

NOTE:

Take care to speak into the Voice Interface

System as calmly and normally as possible. The ability of
the Voice Interface System to recognize user voice com-
mands may be negatively affected by rapid speaking or a
raised voice level.

WARNING!

Any voice commanded system should be used only
in safe driving conditions following local laws. All
attention should be kept on the roadway ahead.
Failure to do so may result in a collision causing
serious injury or death.

When you press the Voice Command

button, you

will hear a beep. The beep is your signal to give a
command.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

131

NOTE:

If you do not say a command within a few

seconds, the system will present you with a list of
options.

If you ever wish to interrupt the system while it lists
options, press the Voice Command

button, listen

for the beep, and say your command.

Pressing the Voice Command

button while the

system is speaking is known as “barging in.” The system
will be interrupted, and after the beep, you can add or
change commands. This will become helpful once you
start to learn the options.

NOTE:

At any time, you can say the words “Cancel”,

“Help” or “Main Menu”.

These commands are universal and can be used from any
menu. All other commands can be used depending upon
the active application.

When using this system, you should speak clearly and at
a normal speaking volume.

The system will best recognize your speech if the win-
dows are closed, and the heater/air conditioning fan is
set to low.

At any point, if the system does not recognize one of your
commands, you will be prompted to repeat it.

To hear the first available Menu, press the Voice Com-
mand

button and say “Help” or “Main Menu”.

Commands

The Voice Command system understands two types of
commands. Universal commands are available at all
times. Local commands are available if the supported
radio mode is active.

switched off. This procedure may be repeated with a new
user. The system will adapt to the last trained voice only.

SEATS

Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint System of the
vehicle.

WARNING!

• It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or

outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in
these areas are more likely to be seriously injured
or killed.

belts. In a collision, people riding in these areas
are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• Seats should be adjusted before fastening the seat

belts and while the vehicle is parked. Serious
injury or death could result from a poorly adjusted
seat belt.

CAUTION!

Do not place any article under a power seat or
impede its ability to move as it may cause damage to
the seat controls. Seat travel may become limited if
movement is stopped by an obstruction in the seat’s
path.

Heated Seats — If Equipped

On some models, the front driver and passenger seats
may be equipped with heaters in both the seat cushions
and seatbacks.

138

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

You can choose from HIGH, LOW or OFF heat settings.
Amber indicator lights in each switch indicate the level of
heat in use. Two indicator lights will illuminate for
HIGH, one for LOW and none for OFF.

Press the switch once to select HIGH-level
heating. Press the switch a second time to select
LOW-level heating. Press the switch a third
time to shut the heating elements OFF.

If HIGH-level heating is selected, the system automati-
cally switches to LOW-level heating and turns one indi-
cator light off after 30 minutes of continuous operation. It
will turn the heater and the remaining indicator light off
after an additional 30 minutes of continuous operation. If
LOW-level heating is selected, the system automatically
turns the heater and the indicator light off after 30 min-
utes of continuous operation.

NOTE:

Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt

within two to five minutes.

WARNING!

• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin

because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes,
spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, ex-
haustion or other physical condition must exercise
care when using the seat heater. It may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if used for
long periods of time.

• Do not place anything on the seat that insulates

against heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This
may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a
seat that has been overheated could cause serious
burns due to the increased surface temperature of
the seat.
