For details on voice commands which can be used on the navigation screen, refer

Connect your mobile phone to Bluetooth®before operating the mobile phone
using voice recognition.
After pressing the talk/pick-up button, wait for the beep before speaking a
command.
Speaking in a slightly louder voice will improve voice recognition, but an
excessively loud voice is unnecessary. Try to speak in a slightly louder voice than
when talking to other passengers in the vehicle.
You do not need to speak slowly. Speak at a normal speed.
When calling a person in the device's phone book, the recognition rate increases
the longer the name is. Errors may occur with names that are short such as
“Mama”, “Home”, or “wife”.
Speak clearly, without pausing between words or numbers.
Voice commands other than those specified, cannot be recognized. Speak in the
wording specified by the voice commands.
