Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition can understandcommands that are either naturallystated in sentence form (Englishonly), or direct commands that statethe application and the task.
For languages that do not supportnatural language commands insentence form, use the directcommands shown as examples onthe display screen.
For best results:
.Listen for the prompt and waitfor the beep before saying acommand or reply.
.Say“Help”or look at the screendisplay for commands.
.Voice recognition system promptcan be interrupted during a
prompt by pressinggagain.
For example, if the promptseems to be taking too long tofinish, or if what is beingprompted causes a need for an
immediate reply, pressgagain
and wait for the beep.
.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.

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

Depending on howvoice recognition was initiated, theHelp pop-up will either display onthe instrument cluster or theinfotainment screen. Press theDismiss button to make the pop-upgo away.
Pressinggwhile the help prompt is
playing will terminate the promptand a beep will be heard. Doing thiswill stop the help prompt so that avoice command can be used.
