equipped) features.
Voice recognition can be used when
the ignition is on or when Retained

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.
This system is able to recognize
commands in three different
languages. The system only
recognizes commands based on the
language selected from the Driver
Information Center (DIC). See
