Helpful Hints for Stating Commands

When a multiple command is available, choose the command that works best.

Words that are in brackets are optional. For example, for the command Radio [band] [select] FM, stating Radio FM or Radio select FM are both valid commands.

When the system recognizes the command the system does one of the following:

Perform the function.

Ask you to confirm your choice.

Issue an error message “Did not recognize. Voice Recognition Canceled.”

If you experience difficulty with the system recognizing a command, try saying it more softly, and wait for a few seconds after the beep, or repeat the command.

Background noise may cause voice commands to be misunderstood, including airflow noise from wind.

To use the voice recognition system, the map DVD must be loaded and the navigation system must be on.
