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.

This feature only works if the map DVD is inserted and I AGREE has been selected. If voice recognition is used without the map DVD inserted, the system displays "Please insert the navigation map DVD to use the voice recognition feature." See "Installing the DVD Map Disc" under Maps.

To use navigation voice recognition:

1. 
   
   

   Push and hold the talk symbol steering wheel control until a beep is heard. The audio system mutes.

2. Clearly state one of the commands listed on the following pages. For example, say "FM1".
3. The system states the command being implemented. For example, the system says "FM1 Radio" and change the audio system to the FM1 source.

The voice recognition can be ended by not speaking any commands. After about five seconds of silence, the system automatically cancels voice recognition.

At times, the system may not understand a spoken command. If this happens, try saying the command again. If a spoken command is not available, the system provides feedback based on availability.

While using voice recognition, make sure to keep interior noise levels to a minimum. Otherwise, the system might not recognize voice commands.

The system only recognizes commands spoken in English.
