honda-automobiles 2010 odyssey User Manual

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 

 button. To 

control the navigation system by voice:

• Press and release the 

 

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 

 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 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 

 

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.
