Voice Recognition
Voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation within the
audio and phone applications. This
feature can be started by pressing
either the
J/0button on the
steering wheel or the voice
recognition icon on the touch screen
display.
However, not all features within
these areas are supported by voice
commands. Generally, only complex
tasks that require multiple manual
interactions to complete are
supported by voice commands.
For example, tasks that take more
than one or two button presses such
as selecting a song or artist to play
from a media device would be
supported by voice commands.
Other tasks, like adjusting the
volume or seeking up or down are
audio features that are easily
performed by pressing one or two
buttons, and are not supported by
voice commands. Most voice commands, except for
voice keypad, can be completed in
a single command. If the task takes
more than one command to
complete, the first command would
be to indicate the kind of task that is
to be performed. The system will
reply, prompting dialog to help
speak the necessary information.
Voice recognition can be used when
the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
See
“Retained Accessory Power
(RAP)” in the owner manual.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available
once the system has been
initialized. Initialization takes place
when the ignition is turned on. This
may take a few moments.
1. Press
J/0on the steering
wheel control to activate voice
recognition, or press the voice recognition icon on the
infotainment touch screen on the
radio.
.If voice recognition is
started, the lists and
controls are verbal and the
visual displays through the
radio. The commands may
then be touched or spoken.
2. The audio system mutes and the system plays a prompt followed
by a beep.
3. Wait until after the beep completes, then clearly speak
one of the commands described
in this section.
Press
J/0to interrupt any
voice recognition. This will
terminate the prompt. The beep
is heard immediately, and a
command can be stated without
having to wait.

6225549) - 2014 - 2nd crc - 9/16/13
Infotainment System 65
An example of a direct command
would be,“Phone.”The system may
answer with a prompt of, “Say Call
followed by the number or contact
name.” The direct command for this
task would be, “Call 555-1212.”
If the phone number has been
saved as a name or place, the direct
command would be, “Call David’s
office number.”
Directed Dialog
A directed dialog is an interaction
between a person speaking the
command and the system prompting
for specific information necessary to
complete the task. Many times the
system may repeat what the person
has stated as a command. This is
done as a confirmation to make
sure the command is understood.
Voice Recognition for the
Radio
All audio screens have a voice
recognition button to launch an
audio voice recognition session.
If browsing the radio when the voice button is pressed, the voice
recognition screens for radio
display.
The following list shows radio
features that are controllable by
voice recognition commands.
A voice recognition command would
have to include all necessary
instructions for the system to carry
out each command:
help:
Voice control help for radio
functionality.

Pandora Commands
For each voice recognition
command, tap the
b/gbutton on
the steering wheel or on the screen
to direct the stated commands. An
example of a simple direct
command is, “Play Pandora.”
[please / I want [you] to / I would
like to / I wanna / I’d like to] (tune
