78 Voice Recognition
Voice Recognition
If equipped, voice recognition allows
for hands-free operation within the
navigation, audio, phone, and
weather applications. This feature
can be started by pressing
gon the
steering wheel or touching
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 touches 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 the controls,
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 should be to indicate
the kind of task to be performed, like
“Navigation Destination Entry.”
The
system replies with prompts that
lead you through a dialog to enter
the necessary information. For
example, if a destination for route
guidance is needed, say
“Navigation” or“Destination Entry.”
If your language supports it, try
stating a One-Shot command, such
as “Navigate to Address <number,
street, city, state/province>.” This
type of destination entry command
is supported in some languages.
Another example of a One-Shot
Destination Entry command is,
“Navigate to Place of Interest –
Hotels.” If these commands do not
work, try saying, “Navigate to Place
of Interest” or“Navigate to Address”
and the system will do the rest. Voice recognition can be used when
the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
See
“Retained Accessory Power
(RAP)” in the owner&#39;s manual.
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
control to activate voice
recognition, or touch the
gicon
on the infotainment 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

13583174) - 2020 - CRC - 4/15/19
Voice Recognition 79
to be taking too long to finish,
press
gagain and the beep
should happen right away.
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
items on the Infotainment displays.
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 on an entry
of a displayed number list instead of
speaking the number associated
with the entry desired.
Canceling Voice Recognition
.
Touch the voice icon. Touching
this will terminate a voice
recognition session which was
initiated by touching the icon on
the infotainment display.
. Touch or say “Cancel”or“Exit”
to terminate the voice
recognition session and show
the display from which voice
recognition was initiated. .
Press
ion the steering wheel
controls to terminate the voice
session and show the display
from which voice recognition
was initiated.
Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition can understand
commands that are either naturally
stated in sentence form, or direct
commands that state the application
and the task.
Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those
languages, use direct commands
like the examples shown on the
display.
For best results:
. Listen for the prompt and wait
for the beep before saying a
command or reply.
. Say “Help” or look at the display
for example commands.

13583174) - 2020 - CRC - 4/15/19
80 Voice Recognition
.A voice recognition system
prompt can be interrupted while
it is playing by pressing
g.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, to speak the command
without waiting for the prompt to
complete, press
g.
. Speak the command naturally,
not too fast, not too slow. Use
direct commands without a lot of
extra words.
. Usually Phone and Audio
commands can be spoken in a
single command.
For example say, “Call <name>
at work,” “Play” followed by the
artist or song name, or “Tune”
followed by the radio station
number.
. Navigation destinations are too
complex for a single command.
First, say a command that
explains the type of destination
needed, such as “I want
directions to an Address,” “Navigate to an intersection,” “I
need to find a Place of Interest
or POI,”
or“Directions to a
Contact.” The system responds
by requesting more details. After
saying “Place of Interest,” only
major chains are available by
name. Chains are businesses
with at least 20 locations. For
other POIs, say the name of a
category like “Restaurants,”
“Shopping Malls,” or“Hospitals.”
Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those
languages, use direct commands
like the examples shown on the
display.
There is no need to memorize
specific command words. Direct
commands might be more clearly
understood by the system. An
example of a direct command would
be “Call <number>.” Examples of
these direct commands are shown
on most of the display while a voice
session is active. If “Phone”or
“Phone Commands,” is stated, the
system understands that a phone call is requested and will respond
with questions until enough details
are gathered.
If the phone number has been
saved with a name and a place, the
direct command should include
both, for example
“Call <name>
at work.”
Using Voice Recognition for
List Options
When a list is displayed, a voice
prompt will ask to confirm or select
an option from that list. A selection
can be made by manually touching
the item, or by speaking the line
number for the item to select.
When a display contains a list, there
may be options that are available
but not shown. The list on a voice
recognition display functions the
same as a list on other displays.
Scrolling or flinging can be used to
help display other entries from
the list.
Manually scrolling or paging the list
on a display during a voice
recognition session suspends the
current voice recognition event and

Voice Recognition 81
plays the prompt“Make your
selection from the list using the
manual controls or press the Back
button to try again.”
If manual selection takes more than
15 seconds, the session terminates
and prompts that it has timed out.
The display returns back to the
display where voice recognition was
initiated.
The Back Command
Say “Back” or touch the Back icon
on the infotainment display to go to
the previous menu.
If in voice recognition, and “Back”is
stated all the way through to the
initial display, then “Back”is stated
one more time, the voice recognition
session will cancel.
Help
Say “Help” on any voice recognition
display and the help prompt for the
display is played. Additionally, a
pop-up displays a text version of the
help prompt. Depending on how
voice recognition was initiated, the
Help pop-up will either display on the instrument cluster or the
infotainment display. Touch Dismiss
to make the pop-up go away.
Pressing
gwhile the help prompt is
playing will terminate the prompt
and a beep will be heard. Doing this
will stop the help prompt so that a
voice command can be used.
Voice Recognition for the

recognition icon (
