The navigation system's voice recognition allows for hands-free operation of navigation and audio system features. Voice recognition can be used when the ignition is on or in ACC/ACCESSORY or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active.

This feature only works if the map DVD is inserted. If you try to use voice recognition without the map DVD inserted, the system displays "Please insert the navigation map DVD to use the voice recognition feature." See "Installing the DVD Map Disc" under Maps.

The system may not hear you or may hear the incorrect word with the windows open or the convertible top down due to background noise.

To use voice recognition:

1. 
   
   

   Push and hold the talk symbol hard key until a beep is heard. The audio system mutes.

2. Clearly state one of the commands listed on the following pages. For example, say "FM1."
3. The system tells you the command being implemented. For example, the system says "FM1 Radio" and change the audio system to the FM1 source.

You may end voice recognition by not speaking any commands. After about five seconds of silence, the system automatically cancels voice recognition.

At times, the system may not understand a spoken command. If this happens, try again. If a spoken command is not available, the system provides feedback based on availability.

While using voice recognition, make sure to keep interior noise levels to a minimum. Otherwise, the system might not recognize voice commands.

The system only recognizes commands spoken in English.
