available, choose the command
that works best for you.
.Words in parentheses are
optional. For example, for the
command“Tune FM (frequency),”
saying“Tune FM
87.7” or“Tune FM” are both
valid commands.
.When the command is
recognized, the system will
either perform the function or
ask to confirm the choice.
.When the system does not
recognize the command, the
system says “pardon.”
.If experiencing difficulty with the
system recognizing a command,
confirm that the command is
correct. Try saying the command
clearly or wait for a brief moment
after the tone.
.Background noise such as a
climate control fan positioned on
high, open windows, and very
loud outside noises, even if the
windows are closed, can cause
voice commands to be
misunderstood.
.The system is able to recognize
commands in different
languages, such as English, Canadian French, and Spanish.
The system only recognizes
commands based on the
language selected.
.To increase or decrease the
voice volume during a voice
recognition session, turn the
volume knob of the radio,
or press the volume steering
wheel control. If the volume is
adjusted during a voice
recognition session, a Volume
bar appears on the screen
showing the voice volume level
as it is being adjusted. This also
changes the volume of the
guidance prompts.
.When using navigation
commands, take the time to
become familiar with the
address. Long delays when
giving the address can result in
the system not recognizing the
address or routing to different
location than intended.
