ease and intuitiveness of voice commands in the vehicle.
A short push and release of the TALK button on the
left side of the steering wheel enables vehicle voice
commands. Speak your command after you hear the

Helpful Tips
To achieve optimum voice recognition when using
the voice control system:
• Close the windows and panoramic roof.
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does
not blow onto the microphone on the ceiling.
• Speak clearly in a clear, natural speaking voice
without pausing between words.
• Reduce any background noise if possible. The
system may misinterpret your command if more
than one person is speaking at the same time.
• Note that the vehicle voice command tone
sounds different than the Siri
®
voice command
tone.
