Voice Command — If Equipped
About Voice command
Instead of pressing the touchscreen to control
your navigation system, you can use your voice
to control navigation.
For example, to switch to 2D view, you can say
“2D view”.
To view a list of available commands, press the
“Help” button in the Main menu and then press
“What can I say?”.
Using Voice Control The following example shows how to use voice
control to plan a journey to your Home address:

1. Push the Voice Recognition button on
the steering wheel to turn on the
microphone.

A screen will pop up with examples of com -
mands.
NOTE:
Press the Help button in the Main menu then
press “What can I say?” to see a full list of
commands.
2. When you hear a beep, say a command of your choice. For example, you can say
“Navigate home”.
NOTE:
For accurate results, speak normally without
trying to articulate words in an unnatural way. If
there is excessive road noise, for example, you
may need to speak directly into the microphone.
3. If the command is correct, say “Yes”. NOTE:
If the command is incorrect, say “No” and
repeat the command after you hear the prompt
and tone again. Your navigation system plans a
route from your current location to your destina-
tion. To stop your navigation system from
listening out for further commands, say
“Cancel”.
Guidance View
The guidance view is used to guide you along
the route to your destination. As soon as you
start driving, your navigation system will
immediately start guiding you to your
destination with spoken instructions and visual
instructions on the touchscreen. You can also
see your current location and details along your
route, including 3D buildings in some cities. The
guidance view is normally in 3D. To show a 2D
map with the map moving in your direction of
travel, change the 2D and 3D settings

wheel. You have full responsibility and
assume all risks related to the use of the
Uconnect features and applications in this
vehicle. Only use Uconnect when it is safe to
