Voice Recognition
The navigation system’s voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation of navigation and audio system
features. Voice recognition can be used when the
ignition is on or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
is active.
This feature only works if the map DVD is inserted and
I AGREE has been selected. If voice recognition is used
without the map DVD inserted, the system displays
“Please insert the navigation map DVD to use the voice
recognition feature.” See “Installing the DVD Map Disc”
under Maps on page 4-38.
To use navigation voice recognition:
1. Push and hold the talk
symbol steering wheel
control until a beep is
heard. The audio
system mutes.
2. Clearly state one of the commands listed on the
following pages. For example, say “FM1”.
3. The system states the command being implemented.
For example, the system says “FM1 Radio” and
change the audio system to the FM1 source.
The voice recognition can be ended by not speaking
any commands. After about five seconds of silence, the
system automatically cancels voice recognition.
At times, the system may not understand a spoken
command. If this happens, try saying the command
again. If a spoken command is not available, the system
provides feedback based on availability.
While using voice recognition, make sure to keep
interior noise levels to a minimum. Otherwise, the
system might not recognize voice commands.
The system only recognizes commands spoken in
English.
