Features
Voice Control Operation
Your vehicle has a voice control syst em that allows hands-free operation.
The voice control system uses the   (Tal k) 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 displa yed 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.
■Voice Recognition
1Voice Control Operation
When you press the   button, a helpful prompt asks 
what you would like to do.  Press and release the   
button again to bypass th is prompt and give a 
command.
1 Voice Recognition
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.
