.When the system does not
recognize the command, the
system says “Pardon.”
. If experiencing difficulty with the
system recognizing a command,
confirm that the command is
correct. Try saying the command
clearly or wait for a brief moment
after the tone.
. Background noise such as a
climate control fan positioned on
high, open windows, and very
loud outside noises, even if the
windows are closed, can cause
voice commands to be
misunderstood.
. The system is able to recognize
commands in different
languages, such as English,
Canadian French, and Spanish.
The system only recognizes
commands based on the
language selected.
. To increase or decrease the
voice volume during a voice
recognition session, turn the
volume knob of the radio,
or press the volume steering
wheel control. If the volume is adjusted during a voice
recognition session, a Volume
bar appears on the screen
showing the voice volume level
as it is being adjusted. This also
changes the volume of the
guidance prompts.
. When using navigation
commands, take the time to
become familiar with the
address. Long delays when
giving the address can result in
the system not recognizing the
address or routing to a different
location than intended.
. When providing the house
number portion of the address,
the system recognizes both digit
format and numerical text. An
example would be to say,
“3-0-0-0-1” or“Thirty
Thousand One.”
. If the system provides the
destination in another country on
several attempts, say the
“Change Country” command and
say the country of interest. The
country default is the United
States. To enter a destination in Canada or Mexico, the country
will first have to be changed in
the system.
Voice Recognition Help
To enter the help playback session,
clearly speak one of the help
commands.
Help :
The system plays back more
specific help commands such as
Radio Settings to choose from.
Radio : Use this command to learn
about how to select a band (AM,
FM, or SiriusXM), and how to
change radio stations by speaking
frequency numbers.
Phone : Use this command to learn
about how to dial, pair a device,
or delete a device.
My Media : Use this command to
learn how to play specific tracks,
artists, albums, devices connected
to the USB port, or to change
sources.
Settings : Use this command to
learn about how to turn Verbose on
or off, or set the language.
