Voice Recognition CTS

If your vehicle is equipped with this feature, the navigation system's voice recognition allows for hands-free operation of navigation and audio system features. Voice recognition can be used when the ignition is on or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active.

To use navigation voice recognition, do the following:

1. 
   
   

   Press the talk symbol steering wheel control and release it when you hear a beep. The audio system, if on, will mute.

2. Clearly state one of the commands listed on the following pages. When the system recognizes the command, it will either perform the function or issue an error message, such as "invalid command" or "command not recognized."

The invalid command message indicates that the command cannot be used in the currently active screen. For example, if you say "Next Track" while listening to the radio, you will receive the invalid command message because the command is for the DVD player or CD changer, not the radio.

If you experience difficulty with the system recognizing a command, try saying it more softly.
