Infotainment System 193
If the vehicle is equipped with
Connected Navigation, which
is a subscription service that
enables certain features of
the navigation system, such as
Traffic, Smart Search/Routing,
and Predictive Navigation,
then the system will download
the latest map data from the
cloud.
Database Coverage
Explanations
Coverage areas vary with
respect to the level of map
detail available for any given
area. Some areas feature
greater levels of detail than
others. If this happens, it does
not mean there is a problem
with the system. As the map
data is updated, more detail
can become available for
areas that previously had
limited detail. See Map Data
Updates0192.
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 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 touching one or two options, and are not
supported by voice
commands.
In general there are flexible
ways to speak commands for
completing the tasks.
If your language supports it,
try stating a one-shot
command, such as
“Directions
to address city, state/province>.” Do not
include the ZIP code while
stating the address during the
command. Another example of
a one-shot Destination Entry
command is, “Directions to
Place of Interest at .” If
these commands do not work,
try saying, “Take me to Place
of Interest” or“Find address”
and the system will walk you
through by asking additional
questions.
Hybrid Speech
Recognition
If equipped, this feature helps
distinguish words by using
Internet-based information

along with the system’s voice
recognition database. This
allows you to speak more
naturally when using voice
recognition.
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 controls to activate
voice recognition.
2. The audio system mutes and the system plays a
prompt.
3. Clearly speak one of the commands described in
this section.
A voice recognition system
prompt can be interrupted
while it is playing by
pressing
gagain. Once voice recognition is
started, both the infotainment
display and instrument cluster
show the selections and visual
dialog content. These displays
can be turned on or off in the
Tutorial Mode under Settings
0
215.
There are three voice prompt
modes supported:
.Informative verbal prompts:
This type of prompt will
provide more information
regarding the supported
actions.
.Short prompts: This type of
prompt will provide simple
instructions about what can
be stated.
.Auto informative prompts:
This type of prompt plays
during the first few speech
sessions, then automatically
switches to the short
prompt after some
experience has been gained
through using the system. If a command is not spoken,
the voice recognition system
says a help prompt.
Prompts and Infotainment
Displays
While a voice recognition
session is active, there may be
corresponding options
showing on the displays.
A selection can be made by
manually touching the option,
or by speaking the number for
the option to select. Manual
interaction in the voice
recognition session is
permitted. Interaction during a
voice session may be
completed entirely using voice
commands while some manual
commands may expedite a
task. If a selection is made
using a manual control, the
voice recognition dialog will
progress in the same way as if
the selection were made using
a voice command. Once the
system completes the task,

196 Infotainment System
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 plays
the prompt “Please select
manually or touch the Back
icon on the infotainment
display to try again.”
If manual selection takes more
than 15 seconds, the session
terminates and prompts that it has timed out. The display
returns 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 spoken all the way
back to the starting display,
and then “Back”is spoken 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.
Voice Recognition for the
Radio
If browsing the audio sources
when voice is touched, the
voice recognition commands
for AM, FM, and SiriusXM (if
equipped) are available.

Handling Large Amounts of
Media Content
It is expected that large
amounts of media content will
be brought into the vehicle.
It may be necessary to handle
large amounts of media
content in a different way than
smaller amounts of media. The
system may limit the options
of voice recognition by not
allowing selection of files by
voice at the highest level if the
number of files exceeds the
maximum limit. Changes to voice commands
due to media content
limits are:
.Files including other
individual files of all media
types such as songs,
audiobook chapters, podcast
episodes, and videos.
.Album type folders including
types such as albums and
audiobooks.
There are no restrictions if the
number of files and albums is
fewer than 12,000. When the
number of files connected to
the system is between
12,000 and 24,000, the
content cannot be accessed
directly with one command like
“Play .”
The restriction is that the
command “Play Song” must be
spoken first; the system will
then ask for the song name.
The reply command would be
to say the name of the song
to play.
