Using your voice recognition system
Your SYNCsystem comes equipped with an advanced voice recognition
(VR) system. This system is easy to use and helps you control many
features via voice commands, thereby allowing you to keep your hands
on the wheel and focus on what is in front of you.
Here we’ll cover the basics of how the system works and some global
voice commands. The majority of the voice commands will be covered
later in the supplement with their respective modes (phone, media, etc.)
and will also be indicated with the voice icon shown below.
Initiating a voice session

1. Press
.
2. Wait until you hear a tone prompt and Listening appears in the
display.

For example, “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.” Or, “Say 1 after the tone to play John
Doe, Say 2 after the tone to play Johnny Doe.

noise from open windows and road vibrations may prevent the
system from correctly recognizing spoken commands.
•After pressing
, ensure that you wait until after the tone
sounds and Listening appears in the display before saying a
command. Any command spoken prior to this will not register with
the system.
•Speak naturally without long pauses between words.
•At any time you can interrupt the system while it is speaking by
pressing
.
