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)0271.
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
control to activate voice
recognition, or selectgon the
infotainment screen on thecenter stack.
.If voice recognition isstarted from the steeringwheel control, the

.If voice recognition isstarted from theinfotainment screen, theselections and visual dialogcontent are displayed onboth the center stackdisplay and the instrumentcluster display.
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

pressgagain and the beep
should happen right away.
There are two voice prompt modessupported:
.Long verbal prompts: The longerprompts provide moreinformation regarding thesupported actions.
.Short prompts: The shortprompts provide simpleinstructions about what can bestated.

.Press the Home screen buttonto terminate the voicerecognition session which was
initiated by pressinggon the
infotainment screen on thecenter stack.

Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition can understandcommands that are either naturallystated in sentence form (Englishonly), or direct commands that statethe application and the task.
For languages that do not supportnatural language commands insentence form, use the directcommands shown as examples onthe display screen.
For best results:
.Listen for the prompt and waitfor the beep before saying acommand or reply.
.Say“Help”or look at the screendisplay for commands.
.Voice recognition system promptcan be interrupted during a
prompt by pressinggagain.
For example, if the promptseems to be taking too long tofinish, or if what is beingprompted causes a need for an
immediate reply, pressgagain
and wait for the beep.
.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 either display onthe instrument cluster or theinfotainment screen. Press theDismiss button to make the pop-upgo away.
Pressinggwhile the help prompt is
playing will terminate the promptand a beep will be heard. Doing thiswill stop the help prompt so that avoice command can be used.
