VOICE RECOGNITION
With SUBARU STARLINK®, simple voice commands can control
features like navigation, entertainment, phone calls, and, on select

console. You do not need to speak directly into it.
Visit www.subaru.com/engineering/starlink/multimedia.html for

and hold the switch to cancel it.
For help with what you can say with voice recognition, press the

Tips
The system may not recognize the voice command if:
• You speak too quickly or at a low or high volume.
• You are driving with a window open, the climate control system set on high or have the
ventilator directed toward the microphone.
• Passengers are talking while you are saying a voice command.
In some cases, you may not be able to use voice commands if the system cannot properly
recognize the command. An example would be if the command is incorrect or unclear.
NOTE: Certain words, accents or speech patterns may be difficult for the system to
recognize.

great option if you are going to take a cross-country trip and your
maps have not been updated in a while.
To update the map using a USB memory device, start by going to
www.subaru.com. Click on the “For Owners” tab and select the

About the Map Software
When driving using guidance from the navigation system, be sure to follow the actual
road signs and traffi c regulations. If road signs and traffi c regulations are changed, the
data on the map software may be out of date. Also, the data on the map software does
not take into account factors such as weather, time zones, and occurrences such as
differences in congestion situations and temporary road closures due to construction
work. Always give precedence to road signs and traffi c rules over instructions from the
navigation system. Not following the road signs and traffi c rules could lead to injury or
traffi c violations.
All information contained within this guide was accurate at the time of publication.
We reserve the right to change features, operation and/or functionality of any vehicle
specifi cation at any time without incurring any obligation to make the same or similar
changes to products previously sold. Your Subaru Retailer is the best source for the
