2016 Honda Accord Coupe Owner’s Manual

The 2016 Honda Accord Coupe is a stylish two-door car with a sporty look. It is both useful and fast. The Accord Coupe is fun to drive because of its stylish exterior, comfy interior, and high-tech features. It can be bought with either a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine or a more powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine. Both engines are very good at getting gas mileage. The interior is nice, with high-quality materials and current features like Bluetooth, a rearview camera, and a touchscreen infotainment system that can be added. The Accord Coupe also puts safety first, with features like dual-stage front airbags, anti-lock brakes, stability control, and optional Honda Sensing® driver-assistance systems. The 2016 Honda Accord Coupe has a good mix of style, speed, and dependability that makes it a good choice in the coupe segment, whether you’re driving to work or going on an exciting trip.

Voice Control Operation

Your vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation.
The voice control system uses the (Talk) and (hang-up/back) buttons on the steering wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.

Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition when using the voice control system:

• Make sure the correct screen is displayed for the voice command that you are using.
• Close the windows and moonroof*.
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow onto the microphone on the ceiling.
• Speak clearly in a natural speaking voice without pausing between words.
• Reduce any background noise if possible. The system may misinterpret your command if more than one person is speaking at the same time.

Voice Control Operation
When you press the button, a helpful prompt asks what you would like to do. Press and release the button again to bypass this prompt and give a command.

Voice Recognition
The voice control system can only be used from the driver’s seat because the microphone unit removes noises from the front passenger’s side.
