VOICE COMMAND — IF EQUIPPED

Voice Command System Operation

This Voice Command system allows you to
control your AM, FM radio, satellite radio, disc
player, and a memo recorder.

NOTE:

Take care to speak into the Voice Interface

System as calmly and normally as possible. The ability of
the Voice Interface System to recognize user voice com-
mands may be negatively affected by rapid speaking or a
raised voice level.

WARNING!

Any voice commanded system should be used only
in safe driving conditions following local laws. All
attention should be kept on the roadway ahead.
Failure to do so may result in a collision causing
serious injury or death.

When you press the Voice Command

button, you

will hear a beep. The beep is your signal to give a
command.

NOTE:

If you do not say a command within a few

seconds, the system will present you with a list of options.

134

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

If you ever wish to interrupt the system while it lists
options, press the Voice Command

button, listen

for the beep, and say your command.

Pressing the Voice Command

button while the

system is speaking is known as “barging in.” The system
will be interrupted, and after the beep, you can add or
change commands. This will become helpful once you
start to learn the options.

NOTE:

At any time, you can say the words “Cancel”,

“Help” or “Main Menu”.

These commands are universal and can be used from any
menu. All other commands can be used depending upon
the active application.

When using this system, you should speak clearly and at
a normal speaking volume.

The system will best recognize your speech if the win-
dows are closed, and the heater/air conditioning fan is
set to low.

At any point, if the system does not recognize one of your
commands, you will be prompted to repeat it.

To hear the first available Menu, press the Voice Com-
mand

button and say “Help” or “Main Menu”.
