Voice Control Operation

Features

Voice Control Operation

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

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.

• Close the windows.
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow onto the microphone

on the ceiling.

• Speak clearly in a 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

1

Voice 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 this prompt and give a
command.

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.
