Voice command issues
Issue Possible
Cause(s)Possible Solution(s)
SYNC does not
understand or is
calling the wrong
contact when I
want to make a
call.•You may be
using the wrong
voice commands.
•You may not be
saying the name
exactly as it is
saved.
•Contacts in your
phonebook may be
very short and
similar, or they
may contain
special characters.
•Your phonebook
contacts may be
saved in CAPS.•Review the phone voice
commands at the beginning of the
phone chapter.
•Ensure that you are saying the
contacts exactly as they are
listed. For example, if a contact is
saved as Joe Wilson, say, “Call Joe
Wilson”.
•The system does better if you
list full names such as “Joe
Wilson” rather than “Joe”.
•Don’t use special characters
such as 123 or ICE as the system
will not recognize them.
•If contacts are saved in CAPS,
you will have to spell them. JAKE
will require you to say, “ Call
J-A-K-E.”
Helpful Hints
•Ensure that the interior of the vehicle is as quiet as possible. Wind
noise from open windows and road vibrations may prevent the system
from correctly recognizing spoken voice commands.
•Ensure that you are speaking naturally and without any large pauses
between words.
•After you push
to begin a voice session, wait until the prompt
sounds andListeningappears in the display. Anything spoken prior to
this will not register with the system.
•You can, at any time, interrupt the system while it is speaking by
pushing
during an active voice session. The system will respond
with a listening prompt and allow you to speak a command.
•For a list of available voice commands, you can push
and say,
“Help” after the tone. The system will audibly list voice commands
available in your current mode.
•The system’s microphone is either located in your rear view mirror or
in the headliner just above your windshield. Ensure that the
microphone area is kept free of obstructions.

purposes during subsequentBluetoothconnections between the two
devices.

(sometimes referred to as a passkey) will be shown in the radio display
during the pairing process with yourBluetoothenabled device. You do
not need to write down this number as it will only be used for that
