196 Infotainment System
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
0210.
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,
or the session is terminated,
the voice recognition dialog
stops.
An example of this type of
manual intervention is
touching an entry of a
displayed number list instead
of speaking the number
associated with the entry
desired.
Canceling Voice
Recognition
.Touch or say
“Cancel”or
“Exit” to terminate the voice
recognition session and
show the display where
voice recognition was
initiated.
.Pression the steering
wheel controls to terminate
the voice recognition
session and show the display
where voice recognition was
initiated.
