Getting Started
Using the Voice Control System
You should use the voice control system 
as much as possible, and consider 
manual entry using the joystick as a 
backup method of entry.
Most of the system’s functions can be 
controlled by voice commands activated 
with the 
NAVI TALK
 button. To 
control the navigation system by voice:
• Press and release the 
NAVI TALK
 
button.
• Wait for the beep.
• Give a voice command.
Once the microphone picks up your 
command, the system changes the 
display in response to the command and 
prompts you for the next command. 
Using the 
NAVI TALK
 button, answer 
the prompts as required.
If the system does not understand a 
command or you wait too long to give a 
command, it responds with “Pardon,” 
“Please repeat,” or “Would you say 
again.” If the system cannot perform a 
command or the command is not 
appropriate for the screen you are on, it 
sounds a beep.
Anytime you are unsure of what voice 
commands are available on a screen, 
you can always say “Help.” The system 
will then read the list of available 
commands to you.
When you give a command, the system 
generally either repeats the command as 
a confirmation or asks you for further 
information. If you do not wish to hear 
this feedback, you can turn it off. 
However, hearing the feedback will 
familiarize you with the way the system 
expects commands to be phrased. See 
the 
Voice Recognition Feedback
 
setting in Setup.
If you hear a prompt such as “Please use 
the touch screen to...” or “Please choose 
an area with the joystick,” the system is 
asking for input that cannot be 
performed using the voice control 
system.
Improving Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition 
when using either the navigation or 
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® voice 
control system, the following guidelines 
should be followed:
NOTE:
Make sure the correct screen is 
displayed for the voice command that 
you are using. See 
Voice Command 
Index on page
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents 
so air does not blow against the 
microphone on the ceiling.
• Close the windows and the sunroof.
• If more than one person is speaking at 
the same time, the system may 
misinterpret your command.
