scores, movie times, ski conditions, etc.

navigation destination or editing information
•All lists are limited so the user can view fewer entries (e.g. phone
contacts, recent phone call entries)

the vehicle is not moving:

Using Voice Commands with the Touchscreen Options
Your voice system has a dual mode feature which allows you to switch
between using voice commands and making on-screen selections. This is
most often available when using navigation.
On-screen buttons are outlined in blue to indicate the selections that are
part of the dual mode feature. For example, if while you are in a voice
session rather than saying the command “Enter Street Name” to change
the field, you can press “Street” and the voice session does not end.
Instead, the voice system changes to the Street field and asks you to say
the street name. The buttons not outlined in blue cannot be used as
voice commands; if they are touched during a voice session, the voice
session is canceled. For example:
From the Navigation home screen, you can choose from the following:
•My Home
•Favorites
•Previous Destinations
•Point of Interest (POI)
•Emergency
•Street Address
•Intersection
•Cancel Route
