Commands for voice settings
In voice settings, you can customize the level of system interaction, help
and feedback. The system default settings include standard interaction as
well as candidate lists and confirmation prompts as all provide the most
guidance and feedback.

to adjust the voice settings:
• Interaction mode advanced •Interaction mode standard
• Confirmation prompts on •Confirmation prompts off
• Media candidate lists on •Media candidate lists off
• Phone candidate lists on •Phone candidate lists off
Interaction mode standard/advanced: Standard interaction mode
provides more detailed interaction and guidance while the advanced
mode has less audible interaction and more tone prompts.
Confirmation prompts on/off: Confirmation prompts are short
questions asked by the system when the system has not clearly heard or
understood your request. Note:Even with Confirmation prompts turned
OFF, you may be asked to confirm settings occasionally.
Phone/media candidate lists on/off: Candidate lists are a list of
possible results from your voice commands. These occur when SYNC has
equal confidence of several possible results from your voice command.
For voice commands available in SYNC phone mode, refer to Voice
commands in phone mode in the Phone chapter.
For voice commands available in SYNC media mode, refer to Voice
commands in media mode in the Media chapter.

regularly inspect your vehicle, and seek repair for any damage or
problem you suspect. Vehicle Health Reports supplements, but cannot

system, (i.e., brake lining wear). Failure to perform scheduled
maintenance and regularly inspect your vehicle may result in vehicle

your e-mail. You can also choose for SYNC to run reports at specific
mileage intervals aligned with your vehicle’s scheduled maintenance
intervals. Go to www.SyncMyRide.com to set up your Vehicle Health
