Introduction
The infotainment system's voice control fea-
ture
1
enables the driver to voice-activate cer-
tain functions in a Bluetooth
-connected cell
phone or the navigation system.
NOTE
•
The information in this section applies
to using voice commands to operate a
Bluetooth
-connected cell phone.
See also the section "Bluetooth
hands-free connection" beginning on
page 232 for detailed information about
using a cell phone with the vehicle's
infotainment system.
•
The navigation system has a separate
user's guide containing information
about voice commands for operating
that system.
Voice commands offer convenience and help
avoid distractions so that you can concentrate
on driving and focus your attention on road and
traffic conditions.
WARNING
As the driver, you have full responsibility for
operating the vehicle safely and adhering to
all applicable traffic regulations.
The voice control feature provides access to a
number of functions in the Bluetooth
hands-
free and navigation systems while allowing you
to keep your hands on the steering wheel. Input
is in dialogue form using spoken commands
from the user and verbal prompts from the sys-
tem. Voice control uses the same microphone
as the Bluetooth
hands-free system (see the
illustration on page 232) and system prompts
are provided through the infotainment sys-
tem's front speakers.

Activating the system
Before any phone voice commands can be
used, a Bluetooth
-enabled cell phone must
be paired with the infotainment system. If a
phone command is given, the system will
inform you If there is no cell phone paired. See
page 233 for information on pairing a cell
phone.
Press the voice control button (1 in the illustra-
tion) to activate the system and initiate a com-
mand dialogue. The system will display com-
monly used commands on the screen when the
button has been pressed.
