VOICE RECOGNITION (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an advanced interactive Voice
Recognition (VR) system. This system allows you to perform many
operations such as operating the navigation, audio, phone (if equipped),
media, climate (if equipped), display and voice settings by “speaking”
certain commands. 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
The navigation system 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
several 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 may assume it understood your request or may ask you
to repeat your request. If the system is unsure 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 five 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, “Play 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 play John Doe. Say 2 after the
tone to play Johnny Doe.” (listen tone)
HOW TO USE VOICE COMMANDS WITH YOUR SYSTEM
(IF EQUIPPED)
Press
or VOICE on your steering wheel controls to activate Voice
Recognition. Depending on the feedback setting, you will hear the
prompt, “Please say a command” followed by a tone, or 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. You can, at any time,
press
and say “Help” for a list of possible commands.
