Voice Control System

Voice recognition is controlled by the NAVI TALK and BACK buttons on the steering wheel. This is the primary way to give commands to the system. Using the navigation system buttons and interface dial allows the passenger to operate the system and should be considered a secondary method for the driver.

NAVI TALK - Press and release this button to activate the voice control system. After pressing and releasing NAVI TALK, wait for the beep, then speak the command.





NAVI BACK - This does the same function as the CANCEL button. Press this button to return to the previous display. After the previous display appears, the system prompts you for a command, and then beeps. Press and release the NAVI TALK button to give the desired command.

The navigation system communicates through the audio speakers. When the navigation system is giving guidance instructions, it is through the front speakers. When you are using the voice control system to give commands (by pressing the NAVI TALK or BACK buttons), the front and rear speakers are muted.

The voice command list can be viewed or heard by pressing the INFO button and selecting Voice Command Help. A tutorial is included that explains the operation of the voice control system. Refer to the navigation system manual for detailed information.

Improving Recognition

To help the system understand your voice commands, follow these guidelines:

^ Make sure that the airflow from the NC vents does not interfere with the system microphone in the ceiling console. Place your hand over the microphone; if you feel any airflow, adjust the vents away from the microphone.

^ Make sure the correct screen is displayed for the voice command you are giving. Refer to the navigation system manual.

^ Close the windows and the moonroof.

^ Set the fan speed to low (1 or 2).

^ After pressing the NAVI TALK button, wait for the beep, then give a voice command.

^ Give a voice command clearly, in a natural speaking voice, without pausing between words.

NOTE:

^ If the system cannot recognize your voice command, speak louder or change the rhythm of your voice.

^ If you speak a command with something in your mouth, with a heavy accent, or have a high pitched voice, the system may misinterpret your voice commands.

^ When the fan speed is in the high position, the system reduces the fan speed when you press the NAVI TALK button, but the fan could still interfere with the microphone.

^ You must be in the driver's seat to use voice commands with the navigation system.
