VOICE RECOGNITION
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
OFF, the system may assume it understood your request or may ask you
to repeat your request. If the system is unsure of what was asked, it will
prompt you to try again or ask for help.
Note:Even with Confirmation prompts turned OFF, you may be asked to
confirm certain settings occasionally.

correctly recognizing voice commands.
•Press

speaking a command.
•Speak naturally without large pauses in between words.
•Speak louder if background noise is preventing the system from
recognizing your command
•Only one person should speak while the system is listening for a
command.
•Please realize voice recognition performance is not 100% and varies by
user. The voice recognition system is meant to be a secondary
convenience control and if it doesn’t operate optimally, you can still
operate your system via the touch screen and hard buttons.

Voice feedback / interaction
You can adjust the level of interaction and feedback you would like from
your voice recognition system. There are four different levels varying
from the most interaction/feedback to the least.
Standard Interaction Mode with Confirmation Prompts on:This
selection provides the most feedback and guidance from the system. You
will be prompted to say a command. The system will repeat your
command and ask, “Is that correct?”
Standard mode with prompts off:This selection offers the second
highest level of feedback with the system. You will be prompted to say a
command. If the system is not certain of your command, the system will
repeat your command and ask, “Is that correct?”
Advance mode with prompts on:You will be prompted by two tones.
If the system is not certain of your command, the system may repeat
your command and ask, “Is that correct?”.
Advance mode with prompts off:This selection provides the least
interaction with the system. You will be prompted by two tones. You will
rarely be asked to confirm your command.
Standard interaction mode provides more detailed interaction and guidance
with confirmation prompts while the advanced mode has less audible
interaction and more tone prompts. Confirmation prompts are short
questions asked by the system when the system has not clearly heard or
understood your request. Tone prompts are audible sounds signifying the
system has entered a mode or is waiting for your command.
