VOICE RECOGNITION How It Works The voice control system uses the steering wheel buttons and the ceiling microphone. To reduce the potential for driver distraction, certain manual functions may be inoperable or grayed out while the vehicle is moving. Voice commands are always available. Voice Command Portal To keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel, use voice commands for hands-free calling, navigation, audio, and climate control. For a full list of commands, say "Voice Help." When you press the Talk button from any of the main screens (NAV, PHONE, INFO, AUDIO), the voice portal screen appears and the system gives you examples of voice commands that can be used. For more examples, see page 26. Pick-Up button: Answer an incoming call. Hang-Up/Back button: End a call, decline an incoming call, or cancel an operation. Talk button: Give phone, navigation, audio, or climate control commands. Press the Talk button again, and the system waits for you to say a command. The system recognizes your command. The system confirms the command.
