Accessing and Adjusting Modes Through Your Vehicle Information
Display The display is located on the right side
of your instrument cluster (A). You
can use your steering wheel controls
to view and make minor adjustments
to active modes without taking your
hands off the wheel. For example:
•
In Entertainment mode, you can
view what is now playing, change
the audio source, select memory
presets and make some
adjustments.
• In Phone mode, you can accept or
reject an incoming call. •
If your vehicle is equipped with
Navigation, you can view the
current route or activate a route.
• In Efficiency Leaves mode, you can
learn how your vehicle informs you
of your driving efficiency. Press OK
to exit the menu. Use the OK and arrow buttons on the
right side of your steering wheel to
scroll through the available modes:

Entertainment
Phone
Navigation
You can make selections from the
menu by using the OK button. The
selection menu expands and different
options appear.
• Press the up and down arrows to
scroll through the modes.
• Press the right arrow to enter the
mode.
• Press the left or right arrows to
make adjustments within the
chosen mode.
• Press OK to confirm your selection.
Note: If your vehicle is not equipped
with Navigation, Compass appears in
the display instead of Navigation. If you
press the right arrow to go into the
Compass menu, you can see the
compass graphic. The compass
displays the direction in which the
vehicle is traveling, not true direction
(for example, if the vehicle is traveling
west, the middle of the compass
graphic displays west; north displays
to the left of west though its true
direction is to the right of west). Using Voice Recognition
This system helps you control many
features using voice commands. This
allows you to keep your hands on the
wheel and focus on what is in front of
you. The system provides feedback
through audible tones, prompts,
questions and spoken confirmations
depending on the situation and the
chosen level of interaction (voice
settings).
The system also asks short questions
(confirmation prompts) when it is not
sure of your request or when there are
multiple possible responses to your
request.
When using voice commands, words
and icons may appear in the lower left
status bar indicating the status of the
voice session (such as Listening,
Success, Failed, Paused or Try Again).
How to Use Voice Commands with
Your System
Press the voice icon. After the
tone, speak your command
clearly.
These commands can be said at any
time during a voice session
"Cancel""Exit"

These commands can be said at any
time during a voice session
"Next page"
"Previous page"
"What can I say?" "Help"
What Can I Say?
To access the available voice
commands for the current session, do
one of the following:
• During a voice session, press the
help icon (?) in the lower left
status bar of the screen.
• Say, "What can I say?" for an
on-screen listing of the possible
voice commands associated with
your current voice session.
• Press the voice icon. After the tone,
say, "Help" for an audible list of
possible voice commands.
Helpful Hints
• Make sure the interior of your
vehicle is as quiet as possible.
Wind noise from open windows
and road vibrations may prevent
the system from correctly
recognizing spoken commands.
• After pressing the voice icon, wait
until after the tone sounds and
Listening appears before saying a
command. Any command spoken
before this does not register with
the system. •
Speak naturally, without long
pauses between words.
• At any time, you can interrupt the
system while it is speaking by
pressing the voice icon.

Voice Settings
Voice settings allow you to customize
the level of system interaction, help
and feedback. The system defaults
to standard interaction that uses
candidate lists and confirmation
prompts as these provide the highest
level of guidance and feedback. •
Interaction Mode: Novice mode
provides detailed interaction and
guidance while the advanced
mode has less audible interaction
and more tone prompts.
• Confirmation Prompts:
The
system uses these short questions
to confirm your voice request. If
turned off, the system simply
makes a best guess as to what you
requested. The system may still
occasionally ask you to confirm
settings.
• Phone and Media Candidate
Lists:
Candidate lists are lists of
possible results from your voice
commands. The system creates
these lists when it has the same
confidence level of several options
based on your voice command.
To access these settings using the
touchscreen:
1. Press the Settings icon > Settings
> then
Voice Control.
2. Select from the following:
• Interaction Mode
• Confirmation Prompts
• Media Candidate Lists
• Phone Candidate Lists
• Voice Control Volume.
To access these settings using voice
commands:
1. Press the voice icon. Wait for the prompt "Please say a command".
Another tone sounds to let you
know the system is listening.
2. Say any of the following commands:

Using Voice Commands with the
Touchscreen Options
Your voice system has a dual mode
feature which allows you to switch
between using voice commands and
making on-screen selections. This is
most often available when using
navigation.
Buttons outlined in blue indicate
selections that are part of the dual
mode feature. For example, if while
you are in a voice session, rather than
saying the command "Enter street
name" to change the field, you can
press Street and the voice session
does not end. Instead, the voice
system changes to the
Street field
and asks you to say the street name.
You cannot use the buttons not
outlined in blue as voice commands.
If they are touched during a voice
session, the voice session ends. For example, you can choose from the
following on the Navigation home
screen:
•
My Home
• Favorites
• Previous Destinations
• Point of Interest (POI)
• Emergency
• Street Address
• Intersection
• Cancel Route.

are available while viewing this screen
