Using the Voice Control System
The voice control system allows for convenient, hands-free
operation of navigation and selected audio and climate control
system functions. For a complete list of voice commands, see
the navigation system manual or press the INFO button, then
select VOICE COMMAND HELP.
TALK/BACK Buttons
Ensure that you are using the NAVI
TALK/BACK buttons for navigation
commands, and not the HFL buttons
located in front of them.
• NAVI TALK button: Activates the voice
control system (audio system mutes).
Push and release on the button, then
wait for a beep. Give a voice
command in a clear, natural speaking voice (without pause)
within 3 seconds. Otherwise, the system will prompt you to
repeat your command.
Tip: A multiple beep indicates that a function is unavailable
or is already set. For example, if fan speed is set to three,
and you say “Fan speed three,” you will hear “beep-beep-
beep.”
• NAVI BACK button: When viewing a menu screen, returns
the display to the previous screen. It is enabled for
navigation commands only, but can cancel an audio or
climate command up to one second after the command
confirmation.
General Voice Control Guidelines
The voice control microphone is located in the ceiling
console. To properly control the system:
• If the system cannot recognize your command
because of background noise, speak louder.
• Voice commands from the front passenger are not
accepted by the system.
Optimizing Voice Control
To optimize voice recognition and hear the voice
feedback:
• Avoid running the fan at maximum speeds.
• Adjust the vents so they don’t blow directly at the
microphone in the ceiling.
• Minimize the amount of wind noise from open
windows or the sunroof.
Voice Control Assistance
• To hear the valid voice commands for any screen,
simply say “Help.”
• To repeat the instructions for how to use any
screen, say “Repeat voice.”
• While learning the commands, ensure that the navi
volume and “Voice feedback” settings are set to
ON. The feedback provides confirmation of your
command and provides the best way to say the
command.
