180 Infotainment System
Voice Recognition
If equipped, voice recognition allows
for hands-free operation within the
audio and phone applications. This
feature can be started by pressing
gon the steering wheel or by
selecting
gon the infotainment
display.
However, not all features within
these areas are supported by voice
commands. Generally, only complex
tasks that require multiple manual
interactions to complete are
supported by voice commands.
For example, tasks that take more
than one or two button presses such
as selecting a song or artist to play
from a media device would be
supported by voice commands.
Other tasks, like adjusting the
volume or seeking up or down are
audio features that are easily
performed by pressing one or two
buttons, and are not supported by
voice commands.
In general there are flexible ways to
speak commands for completing the
tasks. Most of them, except destination entry and voice keypad,
can be completed in a single
command. If the task takes more
than one command to complete, the
first command would be to indicate
the kind of task that is to be
performed. The system replies with
prompts that lead through a dialog
to enter the necessary information.
Voice recognition can be used when
the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
See
Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) 0236.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available
once the system has been
initialized. This begins when the
ignition is turned on. Initialization
may take a few moments.
1. Press
gon the steering wheel
to activate voice recognition,
or select
gon the infotainment
display.
. If voice recognition is
started from the steering
wheel control, the instrument cluster displays
the selections and visual
dialog content.
. If voice recognition is
started from the
infotainment display, the
selections and visual dialog
content appear on both the
infotainment display and
the instrument cluster
display.
2. The audio system mutes and the system plays a prompt
followed by a beep.
3. Wait until after the beep completes, then clearly speak
one of the commands
described in this section.
Press
gto interrupt any voice
recognition system prompt. For
example, if the prompt seems
to be taking too long to finish,
press
gagain and the beep
should happen right away.

GMC Canyon Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-10122677) -
2017 - crc - 1/20/17
Infotainment System 181
There are two voice prompt modes
supported:
.Long verbal prompts: The longer
prompts provide more
information regarding the
supported actions.
. Short prompts: The short
prompts provide simple
instructions about what can be
stated.
If a command is not spoken, the
voice recognition system says a
help prompt.
Prompts and Screen Displays
While a voice recognition session is
active, there will be corresponding
buttons on screens displayed.
Manual interaction in the voice
recognition session is permitted.
Interaction during a voice session
may be completed entirely using
voice commands, or some
selections may expedite a session.
If a selection is made using a
manual control, the dialog will
progress in the same way as if the
selection was made through a voice
command. Once the system is able to complete the task, or the session
is terminated, the voice recognition
dialog stops.
An example of this type of manual
intervention is pressing displayed
number list entry instead of
speaking the number associated
with the entry desired.
Canceling Voice Recognition
.
Touch the Home screen button
to terminate the voice
recognition session which was
initiated by touching
gon the
infotainment display.
. Touch or say “Cancel”or“Exit”
to terminate the voice
recognition session and display
the screen from which voice
recognition was initiated.
. Press
ion the steering wheel
to terminate the voice session
and display the screen from
which voice recognition was
initiated.
Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition can understand
commands that are either naturally
stated in sentence form (English
only), or direct commands that state
the application and the task.
For languages that do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form, use the direct
commands shown as examples on
the display screen.
For best results:
. Listen for the prompt and wait
for the beep before saying a
command or reply.
. Say “Help” or look at the screen
display for commands.
. Voice recognition system prompt
can be interrupted during a
prompt by pressing
gagain.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, or if what is being
prompted causes a need for an
immediate reply, press
gagain
and wait for the beep.

186 Infotainment System
Phone
Bluetooth (Overview)
Instructions for using the cell phone
may differ between infotainment
systems. The base radio and base
radio with touchscreen instructions
are included in this manual. See the
infotainment manual for instructions
on the uplevel radios.
Bluetooth-capable systems can
interact with many cell phones,
allowing:
.Placement and receipt of calls in
a hands-free mode.
. Sharing of the cell phone’s
address book or contact list with
the vehicle.
To minimize driver distraction,
before driving, and with the vehicle
parked:
. Become familiar with the
features of the cell phone.
Organize the phone book and
contact lists clearly and delete duplicate or rarely used entries.
If possible, program speed dial
or other shortcuts.
. Review the controls and
operation of the infotainment
system.
. Pair cell phone(s) to the vehicle.
The system may not work with
all cell phones. See “Pairing”in
this section.
. If the cell phone has voice
dialing capability, learn to use
that feature to access the
address book or contact list.
. See “Deleting a Paired Phone”
and/or “Deleting a Bluetooth
Device” in this section.
{Warning
When using a cell phone, it can
be distracting to look too long or
too often at the screen of the
phone or the infotainment system.
Taking your eyes off the road too
long or too often could cause a
crash resulting in injury or death.
Focus your attention on driving. Vehicles with a Bluetooth system
can use a Bluetooth-capable cell
phone with a Hands-Free Profile to
make and receive phone calls. The
infotainment system and voice
recognition are used to control the
system. The system can be used
while in ON/RUN or ACC/
ACCESSORY. The range of the
Bluetooth system can be up to 9.1 m
(30 ft). Not all phones support all
functions and not all phones work
with the Bluetooth system. See
www.gm.com/bluetooth or see your
dealer for more information about
compatible phones.
Bluetooth Controls
Use the controls on the infotainment
display, center stack, and the
steering wheel to operate the
Bluetooth system.
Steering Wheel Controls

Voice Recognition
If equipped, the voice recognition
system uses commands to control
the system and dial phone numbers. Noise :
The system may not
recognize voice commands if there
is too much background noise, such
as noise from open windows or loud
talking inside the vehicle.
When to Speak : A tone sounds to
indicate that the system is ready for
a voice command. Wait for the tone
and then speak.
How to Speak : Speak clearly in a
calm and natural voice.
Audio System
When using the Bluetooth system,
sound comes through the vehicle's
front audio system speakers and
overrides the audio system. Use the
Oknob during a call to change the
volume level. The system maintains
a minimum volume level.
Bluetooth Audio Quality
Turn off the Echo and Noise
cancellation feature on your phone,
if supported, for the best hands-free
performance.
See www.gm.com/bluetooth or see
your dealer.
