Infotainment System 181
Voice Recognition
If equipped, voice recognition allowsfor hands-free operation within theaudio and phone applications. Thisfeature can be started by pressinggon the steering wheel or by
selectinggon the infotainment
display.
However, not all features withinthese areas are supported by voicecommands. Generally, only complextasks that require multiple manualinteractions to complete aresupported by voice commands.
For example, tasks that take morethan one or two button presses suchas selecting a song or artist to playfrom a media device would besupported by voice commands.Other tasks, like adjusting thevolume or seeking up or down areaudio features that are easilyperformed by pressing one or twobuttons, and are not supported byvoice commands.
In general there are flexible ways tospeak commands for completing thetasks. Most of them, except
destination entry and voice keypad,can be completed in a singlecommand. If the task takes morethan one command to complete, thefirst command would be to indicatethe kind of task that is to beperformed. The system replies withprompts that lead through a dialogto enter the necessary information.
Voice recognition can be used whenthe ignition is on or when RetainedAccessory Power (RAP) is active.SeeRetained Accessory Power(RAP)0237.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes availableonce the system has beeninitialized. This begins when theignition is turned on. Initializationmay take a few moments.
1. Pressgon the steering wheel
to activate voice recognition,
or selectgon the infotainment
display.
.If voice recognition isstarted from the steeringwheel control, the
instrument cluster displaysthe selections and visualdialog content.
.If voice recognition isstarted from theinfotainment display, theselections and visual dialogcontent appear on both theinfotainment display andthe instrument clusterdisplay.
2. The audio system mutes andthe system plays a promptfollowed by a beep.
3. Wait until after the beepcompletes, then clearly speakone of the commandsdescribed in this section.
Pressgto interrupt any voice
recognition system prompt. Forexample, if the prompt seemsto be taking too long to finish,

.Speak the command naturally,not too fast, not too slow. Usedirect commands without a lot ofextra words.
.Usually Phone and Audiocommands can be spoken in asingle command.
For example,“Call Dave Smithat work,”“Play”followed by theartist or song name, or“Tune”followed by the radio stationnumber.
There is no need to memorizespecific command words. Directcommands might be more clearlyunderstood by the system. Anexample of a direct command wouldbe“Call 555-1212.”Examples ofthese direct commands aredisplayed on most of the screenswhile a voice session is active.If“Phone”or“Phone Commands,”isstated, the system understands thataphonecallisrequestedandwillrespond with questions until enoughdetails are gathered.
If the phone number has beensaved with a name and a place, thedirect command should includeboth, for example“Call Dave Smithat work.”
Using Voice Recognition for
List Options
When a list is displayed, a voiceprompt will ask to confirm or selectan option from that list. A selectioncan be made by manually selectingthe item, or by speaking the linenumber for the item to select.
When a screen contains a list,options may be available but notdisplayed. The list on a voicerecognition screen functions thesame as a list on other screens.Scrolling can be used to helpdisplay other entries from the list.
Manually scrolling or paging the liston a screen during a voicerecognition session suspends thecurrent voice recognition event andplays the prompt“Make yourselection from the list using themanual controls or press the Backbutton to try again.”
If manual selection takes more than15 seconds, the session terminatesand prompts that it has timed out.The screen returns back to thescreen where voice recognition wasinitiated.
The Back Command
Say“Back”or press the Back buttonto go to the previous screen.
If in voice recognition, and“Back”isstated all the way through to theinitial screen, then“Back”is statedone more time, the voice recognitionsession will cancel.
Help
Say“Help”on any voice recognitionscreen and the help prompt for thescreen is played. Additionally, apop-up displays a text version of thehelp prompt. Depending on howvoice recognition was initiated, theHelp pop-up will appear either onthe instrument cluster or theinfotainment display. Press theDismiss button to make the pop-upgo away.
