Battery Load Management
The vehicle has Electric Power
Management (EPM), which estimates
the battery's temperature and state of
charge. It then adjusts the voltage for
best performance and extended life of
the battery. When the battery's state of charge is
low, the voltage is raised slightly to
quickly bring the charge back up.
When the state of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to prevent
overcharging. If the vehicle has a
voltmeter gauge or a voltage display
on the Driver Information Center
(DIC), you may see the voltage move
up or down. This is normal. If there is
a problem, an alert will be displayed.
The battery can be discharged at idle
if the electrical loads are very high.
This is true for all vehicles. This is
because the generator (alternator)
may not be spinning fast enough at
idle to produce all the power that is
needed for very high electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when
several of the following are on, such
as: headlamps, high beams, fog lamps,
rear window defogger, climate control
fan at high speed, heated seats, engine
cooling fans, and loads plugged into
accessory power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive
discharge of the battery. It does this
by balancing the generator's output
and the vehicle's electrical needs.

Natural Language Commands
Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those languages,
use direct commands like the
examples shown on the display.
Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition can understand
commands that are naturally stated in
sentence form or direct commands
that state the application and
the task.
For best results:
.Listen for the prompt before saying
a command or reply.
.Speak the command naturally, not
too fast, not too slow.
.Use direct commands without a lot
of extra words. For example,“Call
at work,” “Play ”followed by
the artist or song name, or “Tune”
followed by the radio station
number.
.Navigation destinations can be
made in a single command using
keywords. A few examples are: “Iwant directions to an address,” “I
need to find a place of interest or
(POI),”
or“Find contact.”
The system responds by requesting
more details. For other POIs, say the
name of a category like
“Restaurants,” “Shopping Malls,” or
“Hospitals.”
.Navigating to a destination outside
of the current country takes more
than one command. The first
command is to tell the system
where the navigation will take place,
such as an Address, Intersection,
POI, or Contact. If Address or
Intersection is selected, the second
command is to say, “Change
Country.” Once the system responds,
say the country before saying the
rest of the address and/or
intersection.
If POI is asked for, say “Change
Location,” then“Change Country.”
Direct commands might be more
clearly understood by the system. An
example of a direct command would
be “Call .” Examples of these
direct commands are displayed on
most of the screens while a voice session is active. If
“Phone”or “Phone
Commands,” is spoken, the system
understands that a phone call is
requested and will respond with
questions until enough details are
gathered to make a call.
If a cell phone number has been saved
with a name and a place, the direct
command should include both, for
example “Call 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.
When a display contains a list, there
may be options that are available but
not displayed. The list on a voice
recognition screen 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

Once the number of files has exceeded
approximately 24,000, there is no
support for accessing the songs
directly through voice commands.
There will still be access to the media
content by using commands for
playlists, artists, and genres.
The access commands for playlists,
artists, and genres are prohibited after
the number of this type of media
exceeds 12,000.
The system will provide feedback the
first time voice recognition is initiated
if it has become apparent that any of
these limits are reached during a
device initializing process.
Voice recognition performance will
degrade to some extent based on
many factors when adding large
amounts of data to recognize. If this is
the case, perhaps accessing songs
through playlists or artist name would
work better.
