Notes

For information on voice commands for
the telephone, refer also to the separate

Owner's Manual.

For voice commands, bear in mind the
following:

Do not use the voice activation system to
initiate an Emergency Request. In stressful
situations, the voice and vocal pitch can
change. This can unnecessarily delay the
establishment of a telephone connection.
Use the emergency button near the interior
rearview mirror.

Pronounce the commands and digits
smoothly and at normal volume, avoiding
excessive emphases and pauses. This also
applies when spelling out destinations dur-
ing destination entry.

When selecting a radio station, use the
standard pronunciation of the station name.

For entries in the voice-activated phone
book, only use names in the language of the
voice activation system and no abbrevia-
tions.

Keep the doors, windows and retractable
hardtop closed to prevent interference from
outside noise.

Avoid ambient noise in the vehicle while
speaking.
