7-24 Infotainment System
Prompts and Screen Displays
While a voice recognition session is
active, there will be corresponding
buttons on screens displayed.
Manual interaction in the voice
recognition session is permitted.
Interaction during a voice session
may be completed entirely using
voice commands, or some
selections may expedite a session.
If a selection is made using a
manual control, the dialog will
progress in the same way as if the
selection was made through a voice
command. Once the system is able
to complete the task, or the session
is terminated, the voice recognition
dialog stops.
An example of this type of manual
intervention is pressing on an entry
of a displayed number list instead of
speaking the number associated
with the entry desired.

recognition session which wasinitiated by pressing
gon the
infotainment screen on the

session and display the screen
from which voice recognition
was initiated.
Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition can understand
commands that are either naturally
stated in sentence form (English
only), or direct commands that state
the application and the task.
For languages that do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form, use the direct
commands shown as examples on
the display screen. For best results:
.Listen for the prompt and wait
for the beep before saying a
command or reply.
.Say
“Help” or look at the screen
display for commands.
.Voice recognition system prompt
can be interrupted during a
prompt by pressing
gagain.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, or if what is being
prompted causes a need for an
immediate reply, press
gagain
and wait for the beep.
.Speak the command naturally,
not too fast, not too slow. Use
direct commands without a lot of
extra words.
