2008 Mercury Mountaineer navigation system

system function followed by the sub command. System functions are
listed in bold below; subcommands are listed beneath. For example, if
you wanted the map to be shown on the system screen, you would say
“Navigation Show Map”.
If the voice system is already engaged in a specific function, there is no
need to continue repeating that function for future commands within a
30 second period. For example, if you just finished saying “Navigation
Show Map” and then wanted to zoom the map in, you could say “Zoom
In” instead of “Navigation Zoom In”. After 30 seconds has elapsed, the
voice system will start the next voice session from the main menu.

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.
10. This sequence of events occurs until the voice recognition session is
complete.

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.
