2012 Lancia Thema Owner handbook (in English)

 Speak normally, without pausing,just as you would speak to a person
sitting a few meters away from you.
 Make sure that no one other than you is speaking during a voice com-
mand period.
 Performance is maximized under:  low-to-medium blower setting,
 low-to-medium vehicle speed,
 low road noise,
 smooth road surface,
 fully closed windows,
 dry weather condition.
 Even though the system is designed for users speaking in North Ameri-
can English, French, and Spanish
accents, the system may not always
work for some.  When navigating through an auto-
mated system such as voice mail, or
when sending a page, before speak-
ing the digit string, make sure to
say “Send”.
 Storing names in your favorites phonebook when the vehicle is not
in motion is recommended.
 Phonebook (Mobile and Favorites) name recognition rate is optimized
when the entries are not similar.
 You can say “O” (letter “O”) for “0” (zero).
 Even though international dialing for most number combinations is
supported, some shortcut dialing
number combinations may not be
supported.
 In a convertible vehicle, system per- formance may be compromised
with the convertible top down. Far End Audio Performance
 Audio quality is maximized under:
 low-to-medium blower setting,
 low-to-medium vehicle speed,
 low road noise,
 smooth road surface,
 fully closed windows,
 dry weather conditions, and
 operation from the driver's seat.
 Performance, such as audio clarity, echo, and loudness to a large degree
rely on the phone and network, and
not the Uconnect™ Phone.
 Echo at the far end can sometimes be reduced by lowering the in-
vehicle audio volume.
 In a convertible vehicle, system per- formance may be compromised
with the convertible top down.

VOICE COMMAND

Nav The Uconnect™ Voice
Command system allows
you to control your AM, FM
radio, satellite radio, disc
player, SD Card or USB/iPod. NOTE:
Take care to speak into the Voice
Command system as calmly and
normally as possible. The ability
of the Voice Command system to
recognize user voice commands
may be negatively affected by
rapid speaking or a raised voice
level.
WARNING!
Any voice commanded system
should be used only in safe driving
conditions following local laws. All
attention should be kept on the
roadway ahead. Failure to do so may
result in a collision cau sing serious
injury or death.
When you press the Uconnect™ Voice
Command
button, you will hear
a beep. The beep is your signal to give
a command.
If no command is spoken the system
will say one of two responses:
 I didn't understand
 I didn't get that, etc., If a command is not spoken a second
time, the system will respond with an
error and give some direction as what
can be said based on the context you
are in. After three consecutive failures
of a spoken command the VR session
with end.
Pressing the Uconnect™ Voice Com-
mand
button while the system
is speaking is known as “barging in.”
The system will be interrupted, and
after the beep, you can say a com-
mand. This will become helpful once
you start to learn the options.
NOTE:
At any time, you can say the words
“Cancel” or “Help”.
These commands are universal and
can be used from any menu. All other
commands can be used depending
upon the active application.
When using this system, you should
speak clearly and at a normal speak-
ing volume.
The system will best recognize your
speech if the windows are closed, and

recognize one of your commands, you
will be prompted to repeat it.

the Uconnect™ Voice Command
button and say “Help”. You will

Natural Speech
Natural speech allows the user to
speak commands in phrases or com-
plete sentences. The system filters out
certain non-word utterances and
sounds such as “ah” and “eh”. The
system handles fill-in words such as “I
would like to”.
The system handles multiple inputs in
the same phrase or sentence such as
“make a phone call” and “to Kelly
Smith”. For multiple inputs in the
same phrase or sentence, the system
identifies the topic or context and pro-
vides the associated follow-up prompt
such as “Who do you want to call?” in the case where a phone call was re-
quested but the specific name was not
recognized.
The system utilizes continuous dialog;
when the system requires more infor-
mation from the user it will ask a
question to which the user can re-
spond without pressing the
Uconnect™ Voice Command
button.
