Use voice commands to easily control settings and
preferences without using the touchscreen. Voice commands
are designed to understand natural requests. The following is
a non-exhaustive list of actions that you can perform with
voice commands:
•
Adjust climate preferences
• Tweak the windshield wiper speed and frequency
•
Control various aspects of your vehicle
•
Navigate to a location
•
Call a contact
•
Interact with apps and settings
To initiate a voice command, fully press the microphone
button on the right side of the steering wheel. When a chime
sounds, make your request.
