NOTE: Voice control will only operate with the audio unit and components required switched ON.

Voice Control

The portable support electronics (PSE) module has a voice control system. The customer will be able to push the VOICE button on the audio control switch located on the steering column lower shroud, this will activate the PSE module and allow voice control. An audible tone will be heard through the audio unit speakers after which, a voice command can then be spoken into the microphone located in the overhead console.

The incoming calls and voice confirmation can be heard through the audio system speakers.

When a voice command is spoken into the microphone it will be sent as a signal to the PSE module. The signal is then sent from the PSE module to the relevant components on the medium-speed controller area network (CAN) bus network. The component will then convert the signal back into the original voice command.

The components that the PSE module interacts with are as follows:

• audio unit
• navigation system display module
• cellular phone

For additional information on the cellular phone system, REFER to the cellular phone Owner's Guide.

Bluetooth

An input can be given through the cellular phone with or without the cellular phone connected to the handset holder. Providing that the cellular phone is one of the recommended cellular phones for the system, is supplied with the Bluetooth technology and the cellular phone is programmed to the PSE module.

When selected as active the Bluetooth technology is a wireless system that interacts with the relevant component modules through the PSE module. The general operation of the Bluetooth is similar to the voice control.

Bluetooth technology cannot transfer the cellular phone's PHONEBOOK or recent outgoing and incoming call details to the audio unit or navigation system display module. If the cellular phone is placed into the handset holder the PHONEBOOK data and recent outgoing and incoming call information will be transferred to the audio unit or navigation system display module.

For additional information, REFER to the cellular phone Owner's Guide.
