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.

When you press the button, a helpful prompt asks what you would like to do. Press and release the button again to bypass this prompt and give a command.

■Voice Recognition

To achieve optimum voice recognition when using the navigation voice control system:

• Make sure the correct screen is displayed for the voice command that you are using.
• Close the windows and moonroof.
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow onto the microphone 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.
• Refer to the Voice Help feature.

The voice control system can only be used from the driver’s seat because the microphone unit removes noises from the front passenger’s side.
