Voice Recognition
If equipped, voice recognition allows
for hands-free operation within the
navigation, audio, phone, and
weather applications. This feature
can be started by pressing
gon the
steering wheel or by touching
gon
the touchscreen 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.
In general there are flexible ways to
speak commands for completing the
tasks. Most of them, except destination entry and voice keypad,
can be completed in a single
command. If the task takes more
than one command to complete, the
first command should be to indicate
the kind of task to be performed, like
“Navigation Destination Entry.”
The
system replies with prompts that
lead you through a dialog to enter
the necessary information. For
example, if a destination for route
guidance is needed, say
“Navigation” or“Destination Entry.”
If your language supports it, try
stating a One Shot command, such
as “Navigate to Address one two
three Main Street, Lansing
Michigan.” This type of destination
entry command is supported in
some languages. Another example
of a One-Shot Destination Entry
command is, “Navigate to Place of
Interest –Hotels.” If these
commands do not work, try saying,
“Navigate to Place of Interest” or
“Navigate to Address” and the
system will do for the rest. 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
If equipped, voice recognition
becomes available once the system
has been initialized. This begins
when the ignition is turned on.
Initialization may take a few
moments.
1. Press
gon the steering wheel
control to activate voice
recognition, or touch
gon the
infotainment touchscreen on
the infotainment display.
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.

A voice recognition system
prompt can be interrupted while
it is playing by pressing
g
again.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, press
gagain and the
beep should happen
right away.
There are two voice prompt modes
supported:
. Long verbal prompts: The longer
prompts provide more
information regarding the
supported actions.
. Short prompts: The short
prompts provide simple
instructions about what can be
stated.
If a command is not spoken, the
voice recognition system says a
help prompt.
Prompts and Screen Displays
If equipped, 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 touching on an entry
of a displayed number list instead of
speaking the number associated
with the entry desired.
Canceling Voice Recognition
If equipped, to cancel the voice
recognition session:
.
Touch the Home screen button.
Touching this button will
terminate the voice recognition
session. .
Touch or say “Cancel”or“Exit”
to terminate the voice
recognition session and display
the screen from which voice
recognition was initiated.
. Press
con the steering wheel
controls to terminate the voice
session and display the screen
from which voice recognition
was initiated.
Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those
languages, use direct commands
like the examples shown on the
display.
Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
If equipped, voice recognition can
understand commands that are
either naturally stated in sentence
form or direct commands that state
the application and the task.
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 example commands.
. Voice recognition system prompt
can be interrupted while it is
playing by pressing
gagain.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, to speak the command
without waiting for the prompt to
complete, 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.
. Usually Phone and Audio
commands can be spoken in a
single command.
For example, “Call Dave Smith
at work,” “Play” followed by the
artist or song name, or “Tune”
followed by the radio station
number.
. Navigation destinations are too
complex for a single command.
First, state a command that
explains the type of destination needed, such as I want
directions to an
“Address,”
“Navigate to an intersection,” “I
need to find a Place of Interest
or POI,” or“Directions to a
Contact.” The system responds
with requesting more details.
After saying “Place of Interest,”
only major chains are available
by name. Chains are businesses
with at least 20 locations. For
other POIs, say the name of a
category like “Restaurants,”
“Shopping Malls,” or“Hospitals.”
Some languages support complete
destination requests in a single
command. If your language
supports it, try stating a One Shot
command such as, “Navigate to
Address one two three Main Street,
Lansing Michigan.” Another
example of a One-Shot Destination
Entry command is, “Navigate to
Place of Interest –Hotels.” If these
commands do not work, try saying
“Navigate to Place of Interest” or
“Navigate to Address” and the
system will come back and ask for
details of your destination. Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those
languages, use direct commands
like the examples shown on the
display.
There is no need to memorize
specific command words. Direct
commands might be more clearly
understood by the system. An
example of a direct command would
be
“Call 555-1212.” Examples of
these direct commands are
displayed on most of the screens
while a voice session is active.
If “Phone” or“Phone Commands,” is
stated, the system understands that
a phone call is requested and will
respond with questions until enough
details are gathered.
If the phone number has been
saved with a name and a place, the
direct command should include
both, for example “Call Dave Smith
at work.”

Place of Interest category or major
brand name (if equipped).
Not all brand names of businesses
are available for voice entry. Most
major chains, such as chains with
more than 20 locations, should be
available to search for by name, but
the name must be precisely spoken.
Nicknames or short names for the
businesses will not likely be found.
Lesser known businesses might
have to be located by category,
such as fast food, hotels, or banks.
“Destination Contact” :Begin a
dialog to enter a specific destination
contact name.
“Cancel Route” :End route
guidance.
If your language supports it, try
stating a One Shot command to
enter a destination, such as
“Navigate to address one two three
Main Street, Lansing Michigan.”
Another example of a One-Shot
Destination Entry command is
“Navigate to Place of Interest –
Hotels.” If these commands do not work, try saying
“Navigate to Place
of Interest” or“Navigate to Address”
and the system will come back and
ask for details of your destination.
