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 in ACC/ACCESSORY or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active.

This feature only works if the map DVD is inserted. If this is not done, the system displays the message "Please insert the navigation map DVD to use the voice recognition feature." See "Installing the DVD Map Disc" under Maps.

Keep the windows and the convertible top, if the vehicle has one, up to limit background noise.

To use voice recognition:

1. 
   
   

   Push and hold the talk symbol 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 the audio system changes to the FM1 source.

Do not give any commands to end voice recognition. After about five seconds of silence, voice recognition is canceled.

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

Keep interior noise levels to a minimum. So, the system recognizes the voice commands.

The system only recognizes commands spoken in English.
