USING VOICE RECOGNITION
This system helps you control many features using voice commands. This
allows you to keep your hands on the wheel and focus on what is in
front of you. The system provides feedback through audible tones,
prompts, questions and spoken confirmations depending on the situation
and the chosen level of interaction (voice settings).
The system also asks short questions (confirmation prompts) when it is
not sure of your request or when there are multiple possible responses
to your request.
When using voice commands, words and icons may also appear in the
lower left status bar indicating the status of the voice session (i.e.,
listening, success, failed, paused or try again).
How to Use Voice Commands with Your SystemPress the voice icon; after the tone, speak your command
clearly.
These commands can be said at any time “Cancel”“Exit”
“Go back”
“List of commands” “Main menu”“Next page”
“Previous page”
“What can I say?” “Help”
What Can I Say?
To access the available voice commands for the current session, do one
of the following:
• During a voice session, press the lower left status bar of the screen,
OR
• Say “What can I say?” for an on-screen listing of the possible voice
commands associated with your current voice session, OR
• Press the voice icon; after the tone, say “Help” for an audible list of
possible voice commands.

Voice Settings
Voice settings allow you to customize the level of system interaction,
help and feedback. The system defaults to standard interaction which
uses candidate lists and confirmation prompts as these provide the
highest level of guidance and feedback.
Interaction Mode:Novice mode provides more detailed interaction and
guidance while the advanced mode has less audible interaction and more
tone prompts.
Confirmation Prompts: Confirmation prompts are short questions the
system asks when it is not sure of your request or when there are
multiple possible responses to your request. If turned off, the system
simply makes a best guess as to what you requested and you may still
occasionally be asked to confirm settings.
Phone/Media Candidate Lists: Candidate lists are a list of possible
results from your voice commands. The system creates these lists when
it has the same confidence level of several options based on your voice
command.
To access these settings using the touchscreen:
1. Press the Menu icon > Settings > Voice Control.
2. Select from:
• Interaction Mode
• Confirmation Prompts
• Media Candidate Lists
• Phone Candidate Lists
• Voice Control Volume
To access these settings using voice commands: Press the voice icon; after the tone sounds, the system says
“Please say a command”. Another tone sounds to let you know
the system is listening.
Using Voice Commands with the Touchscreen Options
Your voice system has a dual mode feature which allows you to switch
between using voice commands and making on-screen selections. This is
most often available when using navigation.
On-screen buttons are outlined in blue to indicate the selections that are
part of the dual mode feature. For example, if while you are in a voice
session rather than saying the command “Enter Street Name” to change
the field, you can press “Street” and the voice session does not end.
Instead, the voice system changes to the Street field and asks you to say

HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting
Potential reception issues
Reception area If you are listening to a multicast station and
you are on the fringe of the reception area,
the station may mute due to weak signal
strength.
If you are listening to HD1, the system
switches back to the analog broadcast until
the digital broadcast is available again.
However, if you are listening to any of the
possible HD2 through HD7 multicast
channels, the station mutes and stay muted
unless it is able to connect to the digital
signal again.
Station blending When a station is first received (aside from
HD2 through HD7 multicast stations), the
system first plays the station in the analog
version and then, if receiver verifies the
station is an HD Radio station, it shifts to the
digital version. Depending on the station
quality, you may hear a slight sound change
when the station changes from analog to
digital. This shift from analog to digital sound
or digital back to analog, is known as
“blending”.
In order to provide the best possible experience, a contact form has been
developed to report any station issues found while listening to a station
broadcasting with HD Radio technology. Every station is independently
owned and operated. These stations are responsible for ensuring all
audio streams and data fields are accurate. See the following chart for
potential station issues.
