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.

182 Infotainment System
.Long verbal prompts: The longerprompts provide moreinformation regarding thesupported actions.
.Short prompts: The shortprompts provide simpleinstructions about what can bestated.
If a command is not spoken, thevoice recognition system says ahelp prompt.
Prompts and Screen Displays
While a voice recognition session isactive, there will be correspondingbuttons on screens displayed.Manual interaction in the voicerecognition session is permitted.Interaction during a voice sessionmay be completed entirely usingvoice commands, or someselections may expedite a session.If a selection is made using amanual control, the dialog willprogress in the same way as if theselection was made through a voicecommand. Once the system is ableto complete the task, or the sessionis terminated, the voice recognitiondialog stops.
An example of this type of manualintervention is pressing displayednumber list entry instead ofspeaking the number associatedwith the entry desired.
Canceling Voice Recognition

Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands

For languages that do not supportnatural language commands insentence form, use the directcommands shown as examples onthe display screen.

.Say“Help”or look at the screendisplay for commands.
.Voice recognition system promptcan be interrupted during a
