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.
