Database Coverage
Explanations
Coverage areas vary with respect to
the level of map detail available for
any given area. Some areas feature
greater levels of detail than others.
If this happens, it does not mean
there is a problem with the system.
As the map data is updated, more
detail can become available for
areas that previously had limited
detail. See Map Data Updates 050.

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
