enforcement, other government
authorities, or other third parties acting
with lawful authority. Other parties may

USING VOICE RECOGNITION

This system helps you control many
features using voice commands. This
allows you to keep your hands on the
wheel and focus on what is in front of you.

Helpful Hints

Make sure the interior of the vehicle is as
quiet as possible. Wind noise from open
windows and road vibrations may prevent
the system from correctly recognizing
spoken commands.

After pressing the voice icon, wait until
after the tone sounds and "Listening"
appears before saying a command. Any
command spoken prior to this does not
register with the system.

Speak naturally, without long pauses
between words.

At any time you can interrupt the system
while it is speaking by pressing the voice
icon.
