control system understands your command, it updates

commands, refer to the Navigation System Manual, or
press the INFO button and select Voice Command

Improving Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition, follow these
guidelines:
• Make sure the correct screen is displayed for the
voice command you are giving. Refer to the Quick
Start Guide or the Navigation System Manual.
• Close the windows and the moonroof.
• Set the fan speed to low (1 or 2).
• Adjust the air flow from the vents so that it does not
blow against the microphone on the ceiling.
• Pause after pressing the TALK button, then give a
voice command.
• Give a voice command clearly in a natural speaking
voice without pausing between words.
• If the system cannot recognize your voice command,
speak louder.
• If the microphone picks up voices other than yours,
the system may not interpret your voice commands
correctly.
• If you speak a command with something in your
mouth, or your voice is too husky, the system may
not interpret your voice commands correctly.
