How to Use HFL
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 HFL.
NOTE: All phones may not
operate identically, and some
may cause inconsistent operation
of 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 HFL Talk button. After
the beep, say your command in a
clear, natural tone.
Lower the A/C fan speed during
voice recognition operation.
If the microphone picks up voices
other than yours, the system may
not interpret your voice
commands correctly.
If HFL does not recognize a
command, its response is ''Pardon.''
If it doesn't recognize the
command it plays an appropriate
Help prompt. Response time may
vary depending on the voice
command.
To hear a list of available options
at any time, press the HFL Talk
button, wait for the beep, and say
''Hands free help'' or ''Help.''
Bluetooth HandsFreeLink
When you are at the main menu,
you can hear general HFL
information such as pairing or
setting up the system. Press the
HFL Talk button, wait for the beep,
and say ''Tutorial.''
Many commands can be spoken
together. For example, you can
say, ''Dial 123-456-7891.''
To enter a string of numbers in a
Call or Dial command, you can say
them all at once, or you can
separate them in blocks of 3, 4, 7,
10, and 11.
To skip a voice prompt, press the
HFL Talk button while HFL is
speaking. HFL will then begin
listening for your next command.
