.Speak the command naturally,not too fast, not too slow. Usedirect commands without a lot ofextra words.
.Usually Phone and Audiocommands can be spoken in asingle command.
For example,“Call Dave Smithat work,”“Play”followed by theartist or song name, or“Tune”followed by the radio stationnumber.
There is no need to memorizespecific command words. Directcommands might be more clearlyunderstood by the system. Anexample of a direct command wouldbe“Call 555-1212.”Examples ofthese direct commands aredisplayed on most of the screenswhile a voice session is active.If“Phone”or“Phone Commands,”isstated, the system understands thataphonecallisrequestedandwillrespond with questions until enoughdetails are gathered.
If the phone number has beensaved with a name and a place, thedirect command should includeboth, for example“Call Dave Smithat work.”
Using Voice Recognition for
List Options
When a list is displayed, a voiceprompt will ask to confirm or selectan option from that list. A selectioncan be made by manually selectingthe item, or by speaking the linenumber for the item to select.
When a screen contains a list,options may be available but notdisplayed. The list on a voicerecognition screen functions thesame as a list on other screens.Scrolling can be used to helpdisplay other entries from the list.
Manually scrolling or paging the liston a screen during a voicerecognition session suspends thecurrent voice recognition event andplays the prompt“Make yourselection from the list using themanual controls or press the Backbutton to try again.”
If manual selection takes more than15 seconds, the session terminatesand prompts that it has timed out.The screen returns back to thescreen where voice recognition wasinitiated.
The Back Command
Say“Back”or press the Back buttonto go to the previous screen.
If in voice recognition, and“Back”isstated all the way through to theinitial screen, then“Back”is statedone more time, the voice recognitionsession will cancel.
Help
Say“Help”on any voice recognitionscreen and the help prompt for thescreen is played. Additionally, apop-up displays a text version of thehelp prompt. Depending on howvoice recognition was initiated, theHelp pop-up will appear either onthe instrument cluster or theinfotainment display. Press theDismiss button to make the pop-upgo away.

“Play Podcast ”:Begin playback of themedia selection identified in thecommand.
“My Media”:Begin a dialog toenter the desired media content.
Handling Large Amounts of MediaContent
It is expected that large amounts ofmedia content will be brought intothe vehicle. It may be necessary tohandle large amounts of mediacontent in a different way thansmaller amounts of media. Thesystem may limit the options ofvoice recognition by not allowingselection of song titles by voice atthe highest level if the number ofsongs exceeds the maximum limit.
Voice command option changesthrough media content limits are:
.Song files including otherindividual files of all media typessuch as audiobook chapters,podcast episodes, and videos.
.Album type folders includingtypes such as albums andaudiobooks.
There are no restrictions if thenumber of song files and albums isless than 4,000. When the numberof song files connected to thesystem is between 4,000 and 8,000,
the content cannot be accesseddirectly with one command like“Play .”
The restriction is that the command“Play Song”must be spoken first;the system will then ask for the songname. The reply command would beto say the name of the song to play.
Similar limits exist for albumcontent. If there are more than4,000 albums, but less than 8,000,the content cannot be accesseddirectly with one command like,“Play .”Thecommand“Play Album”must first bespoken; the system will then ask forthe album name. The reply wouldbe to say the name of the albumto play.
Once the number of songs hasexceeded approximately 8,000,there is no support for accessing thesongs directly through voicecommands. There will still beaccess to the media content byusing commands for playlists,artists, and genres.
