HYBRID INFORMATION (IF EQUIPPED)
If you have a Hybrid vehicle, your navigation system has special Hybrid
screens which relay Energy Flow and Fuel Economy information. To
access these screens, press MENU and then select the HEV tab.
ENERGY FLOW SCREEN
The Energy flow screen shows a graphical representation of how power
is transferred in the Hybrid system to accelerate the vehicle or recharge
the battery, and also which mode is currently active. These screens are
informational and do not require any input from you.
Note:Due to the screen updates and simplification of the graphics, the
display may not show the actual vehicle status.
1.Engine Power:This line represents how much power is being
provided to the wheels by the engine. The arrow will always flow in one
direction and point to the wheels.
2.Engine:This icon represents the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE).
It will be highlighted in orange only when the ICE is running.
3.Generator Power:This line represents how much power is being
generated by the engine for use by the High Voltage (HV) electric
system, or how much power is being used by the High Voltage (HV)
electric system to control/start the engine.

For the best system performance, please adhere to the following:
•The interior of the vehicle needs to be as quiet as possible. Wind noise
from open windows, road vibrations, and radio volume may prevent
the system from correctly recognizing voice commands.
•Wait until the tone sounds after pressing the push to talk button
before speaking a command.
•Speak naturally without large pauses in between words.
•Please realize voice recognition performance is not 100% and varies by
user. The voice recognition system is meant to be a secondary
convenience control and if it doesn’t operate optimally, users can still
operate their navigation system via the touch screen and hard buttons.
To speak voice commands:
1. Push VOICE or
on the steering wheel. A tone will sound.
2. ‘Main Menu’ and
will appear in the status bar.
3. The system will speak the available voice commands and a tone will
sound.
4. ‘Listening’ and
will appear in the status bar and the system
waits for your response.
5. If the system is not confident that it recognized your voice command,
it will ask for a confirmation of yes or no.
6. If the system does not recognize or hear the your voice command, it will
say, “Sorry, please say....“andrepeat the available voice commands.
The voice failed icon
will be displayed in the status bar.
7. If the system does not recognize or hear your voice command a
second time, the system will say, “Sorry, please press the voice button
and try again” and the voice session is terminated.
8. Once confirmation / recognition takes place, the voice success
icon
is displayed. The system will speak the next level of available
commands, a tone will sound, and the appropriate voice menu name and
icon will be displayed.
9. If the voice session is not complete, the system will then speak the
next set of available voice commands, a tone will sound, and the system
will display ‘listening’
and again, waits for a response.

Three voice recognition tutorials are available through the voice
system:
•Lesson One: What you can do with speech
•Lesson Two: How we’ll work together
•Lesson Three: Getting accustomed to the system
To access the tutorials, press the voice button on the steering wheel and
say, “Tutorial Lesson (1, 2 or 3)”.
Voice settings
Voice settings are adjusted through the voice recognition. In voice
settings, you can customize the system to behave the way you prefer as
well as train the system to fine tune its listening to a specific user by
creating a profile. The following settings are available:
•Interaction mode: standard or advanced
Standard system provides detailed user instructions and announces all
available voice commands
Advanced system speaks less and assumes that the user knows the voice
commands
•Profile: trains the system to create voice profiles of users. The vehicle
must be in Park and the profile takes approximately 10 minutes to
complete.
Voice Tags
Voice recognition includes a
function that allows you to input
personal names for locations to be
recognized by the system. These are
called ‘voice name tags’. You can
assign voice name tags to all
locations stored in the address book
to be used later as destinations.

SYNC VOICE RECOGNITION FEATURE
SYNC is equipped with an advanced interactive Voice Recognition (VR)
system. This system allows you to perform many operations by
“speaking” certain commands to the system. The system will respond
with a series of audible tones, prompts, questions and spoken
confirmations depending on the situation and the chosen level of
dialogue interaction.
Feedback through audible tones
Your VR system will respond through various audible tones. You may
hear a tone at the following times:
•When you press VOICE or
on your steering wheel controls.
•When you access the help feature.
•When the VR system does not understand your request
•When a VR session is completed successfully
•When a VR session is ended unsuccessfully
•When a speed dependent feature has been accessed
•When a new device is connected
SYNC has five different audible tones that will play depending on the
circumstance.
•Initial: Sounds when you are entering a new mode.
•Positive: Sounds for a positive recognition or a successful VR session
completion.
•Negative: Sounds for a negative recognition, an unsuccessful VR
session, or when a speed dependent feature has been accessed.
•Listening: Sounds when the system is ready to listen for a command.
•Help: Sounds when you ask for ’Help’.
Confirmation prompts
Confirmation prompts are short questions asked by the system when the
system has not clearly understood your request or when there are many
possible responses to your request. For example, if you have
Confirmation prompts ON, the system may say, “Phone, is that correct?”.
The system will then listen for a “Yes” or “No” confirmation from you. If
you say “Yes”, the system will proceed. If you say “No”, the system will
ask you to say the command again. If you have Confirmation prompts
OFF, the system will simply make a best guess as to what you requested.

If the system has a low confidence level of what was asked, it will
prompt you to try again or ask for help.
Note:Even with Confirmation prompts turned OFF, you may be asked to
confirm certain settings occasionally.
Clarification through candidate lists
Candidate lists are created when the system has several possible options
of similar level of confidence as a result of your request. The system will
submit back to you as many as four possibilities for your clarification.
This may happen either with your phone book and/or music selections.
Example #1:
You want to call John Doe at home, so you say, “Call John Doe at home”.
If the system has a similar confidence level for a few items, it may
respond with:
•(initial tone) “Say 1 after the tone to call John Doe at home. Say 2
after the tone to call Johnny Doe on mobile. Say 3 after the tone to
call Jane Doe at home.” (listen tone)
Example #2:
You want to listen to a certain artist, so you say, “Search Artist John”. If
the system has a similar confidence level for two possible options, it may
respond with:
•(initial tone) “Say 1 after the tone to search John Doe. Say 2 after the
tone to search Johnny Doe.” (listen tone)
Using voice commands with your SYNC system
There is a push to talk button on your steering wheel controls labeled
either VOICE or
. Press to activate Voice Recognition. You will hear a
tone, signaling that the system is ready to accept your command. Any
command spoken prior to the beep will not register with the system.
Speak the command clearly to ensure that the system is able to
recognize and perform the desired function.
For the best system performance:
•Ensure that the interior of the vehicle is as quiet as possible. Wind
noise from open windows, road vibrations, and radio volume may
prevent the system from correctly recognizing voice commands.
•Wait until the tone sounds after pressing the push to talk button
before speaking a command.
