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
