52 Voice Recognition
Voice Recognition
Voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation within the
audio and phone applications. This
feature can be started by pressing
b/gon the steering wheel or
touching the voice recognition icon
on the touchscreen display.
However, not all features within
these areas are supported by voice
commands. Generally, only complex
tasks that require multiple manual
interactions to complete are
supported by voice commands.
For example, tasks that take more
than one or two touches such as
selecting a song or artist to play
from a media device would be
supported by voice commands.
Other tasks, like adjusting the
volume or seeking up or down are
audio features that are easily
performed by pressing one or two
options, and are not supported by
voice commands.
Most voice commands, except for
voice keypad, can be completed in
a single command. If the task takes more than one command to
complete, the first command would
be to indicate the kind of task to be
performed. The system will reply,
prompting dialog to help speak the
necessary information.
Voice recognition can be used when
the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
See
“Retained Accessory Power
(RAP)” in the owner ’s manual.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available
once the system has been
initialized. Initialization takes place
once the ignition is turned on. This
may take a few moments.
1. Press
b/gon the steering
wheel controls to activate voice
recognition, or touch the voice
recognition icon on the
infotainment display.
2. The audio system mutes and the system plays a prompt
followed by a beep. 3. Wait until after the beep
completes, then clearly speak
one of the commands
described in this section.
Press
b/gto interrupt any
voice recognition. This will
terminate the prompt. The beep
is heard immediately, and a
command can be stated
without having to wait.
There are two voice prompt modes
supported:
. Long verbal prompts: The longer
prompts provide more
information regarding the
supported actions for that voice
recognition session.
. Short prompts: The short
prompts provide simple setup
and action commands.
The voice prompt modes can be
changed in the Voice Recognition
Menu from the Settings icon on the
Home Page.
If a command is not heard during a
short period of time, the voice
recognition process times out.

Prompts and Screen Displays
The system prompts and display
screens will adjust to reflect the
commands during the voice
recognition session.
While voice recognition is active,
there may be corresponding options
and displays available to interact
with the system so that some of the
functions can be manually done.
Touching any of the options or
displays to finish a function that was
initiated through voice recognition
will terminate the session. If the
manual functions are only partially
completed, the voice recognition will
proceed until finished.
Canceling Voice Recognition
.Pressxon the steering wheel
controls. This will terminate the
voice recognition session and
show the display prior to when
voice recognition was initiated.
. Touch the
zor the circled arrow
shown on the upper corners of
the display to terminate or go
back up the voice menu,
respectively, during the voice
recognition session.
. Say “Cancel” or“Back” to
terminate or go back to the voice
menu during the voice
recognition session, and to show
the display prior to when voice
recognition was initiated.
Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
The voice recognition application
can usually understand direct
commands of the application
and task. An example of a command would
be,
“Phone.” The system may
answer with a prompt of, “Say Call
followed by the number or contact
name.” The direct command for this
task would be, “Call .”
If the phone number has been
saved as a name or place, the direct
command would be, “Call and place>.”
Directed Dialog
A directed dialog is an interaction
between a person speaking the
command and the system prompting
for specific information necessary to
complete the task. Many times the
system may repeat what the person
has stated as a command. This is
done as a confirmation to make
sure the command is understood.

recognition icon to launch an audio

Destination and Guidance
Commands
destination (Available for English,
Spanish, and French
languages) :Instructs the system
that the user wants to enter a
destination using voice recognition.
After this command is stated, the
system displays a menu for entering
the destination by address or
contacts stored in the address book.
If address is selected, the system
prompts for more information such
as country, city, state/province,
or house number. If entering the
destination by contacts, the system
will prompt for a contact name as
stored.
Set the Destination by using voice

1. Press
b/gon the steering
wheel or touch the voice
recognition icon on the
infotainment display. The audio
system mutes, and a beep is
heard. 2. Say the command
“Destination
Address.” The system replies
with “say Cancel Guidance
Route or say Destination” if
there is a route entered
already. Otherwise the system
will reply with “Say the City and
State/Province or Say Change
Country.” If the country is
incorrect, go to Step 5.
Otherwise, say the city and
state/province for the
destination.
During the session, the city and
state/province matches to the
spoken city and state/province
name. The system asks the
user to select an item from the
candidate list either by
touching the desired choice,
or by saying the list number of
the desired choice.
3. There will be another prompt asking about address or
contact. The system replies
“Say the House Number and
Street Name.” Say the house
number and street name for the
destination. The house and street address as well as the
closest match to the spoken
number are similar to the city
and state/province commands.
4. This address is now set as the destination. Select the Start
Guidance option to begin
destination route guidance. At
that point there are additional
options to review the
destination location on the
map, or to preview the route,
detailed later in this manual.
5. After saying “Change Country,”
the system replies with “Say
the Name of the Country or
Territory for the address
