Getting Started
Using the Voice Control System
You should use the voice control system 
as much as possible, and consider 
manual entry using the 
Interface Dial
as a backup method.
Most of the system’s functions can be 
controlled by voice commands activated 
with the 
TALK button. To control the
navigation system by voice:
• Press and release the
TALK button. A
guidance prompt will be played, and 
a pop-up voice icon (
) will appear
in the upper left corner of the screen.
• Wait for the beep.
• Give a voice command. (Voice
commands that the system recognizes 
are highlighted.)
Once the microphone picks up your 
command, the system changes the 
display in response to the command. 
Press the 
TALK button to get a
guidance prompt for the next command.
NOTE:
To interrupt guidance prompts, press 
the 
TALK button again. Wait for the
beep, and give a command.
If the system does not understand a 
command or you wait too long to give a 
command, it responds with “Pardon? No 
comment was heard. Please press the 
Talk button and say a command.” If the 
system cannot perform a command or 
the command is not appropriate for the 
screen you are on, a beep will sound.
You can find out which voice 
commands are available for a particular 
screen by saying “Help.” The system 
will display and read the list of available 
commands to you. (When 
Help is
grayed out, this feature cannot be used.)
When you give a command, the system 
either performs the command or 
transitions to the next step in a task.
NOTE:
Guidance prompts can be turned off. 
See page 55.
If you hear a prompt such as “Please use 
the 
Interface Dial to...” or “Please
choose an area with the
Interface Dial,”
the system is asking for input that 
cannot be performed using the voice 
control system.
Improving Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition 
when using the voice control system, the 
following guidelines should be 
followed:
NOTE:
Make sure the correct screen is 
displayed for the voice command that 
you are using. See Voice Command 
Index on page 157.
• It is best if the windows and
moonroof are closed. If they are open, 
speak a little louder to overcome the 
wind noises.
