How to Use the HFL
The HFL is operated by the HFL
Talk and Back buttons on the left
side of the steering wheel. The next
few pages provide instructions for all
basic features of the HFL.
NOTE: All phones may not
operate identically, and some
may cause inconsistent operation
of the HFL.

Using Voice Control
Here are some guidelines for using
voice control:
Adjust the airflow from both the
dashboard and side vents so they
do not blow against the
microphone on the ceiling.
Close the windows and the
moonroof.
To enter a command, press and
release the Talk button. Then,
after the beep, say your command
in a clear, natural tone.
Lower the A/C fan speed during
voice recognition operation.
Give a voice command in a clear
natural speaking voice without
pausing between words or
numbers. If the system cannot
recognize your command because
of the background noise, speak
louder.
If the microphone picks up voices
other than yours, the system may
not interpret your voice
commands correctly.
If the HFL does not recognize a
command, its response is, ''Pardon.''
If it doesn't recognize the
command a second time, its
response is, ''Please repeat.'' If it
doesn't recognize the command a
third time, it plays the Help
prompt.
