■Talk Button Tips

When using the Talk button, wait for the beep before saying a command. The system recognizes commands listed in the Voice Command Index.

  • Aim the vents away from the ceiling and close the windows, as noise coming from them may interfere with the microphone.
  • Press and release the talk button when you want to call a number. Speak clearly and naturally after a beep. If the microphone picks up voices other than yours, the command may be misinterpreted.
  • To change the volume level, use the audio system's volume knob or the remote audio controls on the steering wheel.
