Voice control

Introduction

The navigation system's voice control feature
02
enables you to voice-activate certain system
functions.
Voice commands offer convenience and help
avoid distractions so that you can concentrate
on driving and focus your attention on road and
traffic conditions.
Additional information about using voice com-
mands can also be found in your Owner's Man-
ual, in the Infotainment chapter's "Cell phone
voice control" section.
WARNING
As the driver, you have full responsibility for
operating the vehicle safely and adhering to
all applicable traffic regulations.
The voice control feature uses the same micro-
phone as the Bluetooth hands-free system
and system prompts are provided through the
infotainment system's front speakers.
Since the microphone is positioned directly in
front of the driver, voice commands given by
other occupants of the vehicle may not be
understood.
