Voice Control Operation

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

 (talk) and 

 (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:
