Prius Voice Commands

I've learned that it is possible to set an address destination even while driving in a 2008 Toyota Prius.



To enter an address while driving:

Press Voice Command Button. (beep) Say, "Address"
Press Voice Command Button. (beep) "California"
Press Voice Command Button. (beep) "Sacramento"
Press Voice Command Button. (beep) "16th Street"
Press Voice Command Button. (beep) "One Six Three Zero"
Press Voice Command Button. (beep) "Enter Destination"
Guideance will start automatically using the Quick One route.

To find the nearest Italian restaurant.

Press Voice Command Button. (beep)  Say, "Nearest Italian Restaurant"
Press Voice Command Button. (beep)  "Enter Destination"

To speed up the process, once you know what to say, you can turn off the voice recognition guideance under settings.

Note: Saying "Auto pilot" had a result, but not the one I expected.

I FOUND this post very helpful. I have a Toyota Camry Hybrid with basically the same Voice Command System -- do you know where online I can get some kind of overview guide to the basic voice commands and how to use them?Thank you
