2. Select from the following:
•Interaction Mode•Confirmation Prompts
•Media Candidate Lists•Phone Candidate Lists
•Voice Control Volume
Or
1. Press
on the steering wheel controls. A tone will sound followed
by the prompt, “Please say a command”. Another tone will sound to
signify the system is listening.
2. Say one of the following commands:
•Interaction Mode Advanced•Interation Mode Novice
•Confirmation Prompts On•Confirmation Prompts Off
•Phone Candidate Lists On•Phone Candidate Lists Off
•Media Candidate Lists On•Media Candidate Lists Off
Interaction Mode:Novice interaction mode provides more detailed
interaction and guidance while the advanced mode has less audible
interaction and more tone prompts.
Confirmation Prompts: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 and number
inputs.
Phone/Media Candidate Lists:Candidate lists are a list of possible
results from your voice commands. These occur when SYNChas equal
confidence of several possible results from your voice command.
How to use voice commands with your system
1. Press
on the steering wheel controls.
Depending on the feedback setting, you will either hear, “Please say a
command” followed by a tone or just the tone, signaling the system is
ready to accept your command.
2. After the tone, speak the command clearly.
For best voice recognition performance
•Ensure that the interior of the vehicle is as quiet as possible.
•Speak naturally without long pauses between words.
•After pressing
, wait for the tone to sound and for ‘Listening’ to
appear in the display. Any command spoken prior to this will not
register with the system.

•Tune:Use to go up/down the frequency in individual increments.
If the current station has multiple digital broadcasts,the
multicast indicator will display. Use Tune to advance through all
available broadcasts. If you are on the last broadcast channel, turn to
advance to the next frequency on the band.
•Saving a multicast station as a preset:When the channel is active
on-screen, press and hold a memory preset slot on the right of the
screen until the sound returns. There will be a momentary mute and
then the sound will return signifying it was saved.When recalling a
HD2/HD3 memory preset,there will be a mute before the digital
audio is played as the system must once again acquire the digital
signal. If you have turned this feature off and press a memory preset
containing an HD Radio broadcast station, a pop-up will appear asking
you if you would like to turn the feature back on.
Note:As with any saved radio station, you will not be able to access
the saved station if your vehicle is outside the station’s reception area.
HD Radio reception factors
•Reception area:If you are listening to a multicast station and you
are on the fringe of the reception area, the station may mute due to
weak signal strength. If you are listening to HD1, the system will
switch back to the analog broadcast until the digital broadcast is
available again. However, if you are listening to any of the possible
HD2–HD7 multicast channels, the station will mute and stay muted
unless it is able to connect to the digital signal again.
•Station blending:When a station is first received (aside from
HD2–HD7 multicast stations), the system will first play the station in
the analog version and then, if receiver verifies the station is an HD
Radio station, it will shift into the digital version. Depending on the
station quality, you may hear a slight sound change when the station
changes from analog to the digital version. This shift from analog to
digital sound or digital back to analog, is known as ‘blending’.
Station issues
In order to provide the best possible experience, a contact form has been
developed to report any station issues found while listening to a station
broadcasting with HD Radio technology. Every station is independently
owned and operated. These stations are responsible for ensuring all
audio streams and data fields are accurate. This form can be found at:
http://www.ibiquity.com/automotive/report_radio_station_experiences.

Wi-Fi
Your system has a Wi-Fi feature which creates a wireless network within
your vehicle, thereby allowing other devices (i.e. personal computers,
phones) in your vehicle to speak to each other, share files, play games,
etc. Using this Wi-Fi feature, everyone in your vehicle can also gain
access the internet if:
•You have a USB mobile broadband connection inside the vehicle
•Your phone supports PAN (personal area networking)
•You are parked outside of a wireless hotspot
To access, press Menu > Settings > Wireless and Internet > Wi-Fi
settings.

Prolonged Views of Screen
Do not access any function requiring a prolonged view of the screen
while you are driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before
attempting to access a function of the system requiring prolonged
attention. Even occasional short scans to the screen may be hazardous if
your attention has been diverted away from your driving task at a critical
time.
Volume Setting
Do not raise the volume excessively. Keep the volume at a level where
you can still hear outside traffic and emergency signals while driving.
Driving while unable to hear these sounds could cause an accident.
Use of Speech Recognition Functions
Speech recognition software is inherently a statistical process which is
subject to errors. It is your responsibility to monitor any speech
recognition functions included in the system and address any errors.
Navigation Features
Any navigation features included in the system are intended to provide
turn by turn instructions to get you to a desired destination. Please make
certain all persons using this system carefully read and follow
instructions and safety information fully.
Distraction Hazard
Any navigation features may require manual (non-verbal) setup.
Attempting to perform such set-up or insert data while driving can
seriously distract your attention and could cause an accident or other
serious consequences. Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before
attempting these operations.
Let Your Judgment Prevail
Any navigation features are provided only as an aid. Make your driving
decisions based on your observations of local conditions and existing
traffic regulations. Any such feature is not a substitute for your personal
judgment. Any route suggestions made by this system should never
replace any local traffic regulations or your personal judgment or
knowledge of safe driving practices.
Route Safety
Do not follow the route suggestions if doing so would result in an unsafe
or illegal maneuver, if you would be placed in an unsafe situation, or if
you would be directed into an area that you consider unsafe. The driver
is ultimately responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle and
therefore, must evaluate whether it is safe to follow the suggested
directions.
