Once voice recognition is started,

selections and visual dialog content.
These displays can be turned on or
off in the Tutorial Mode under

supported:
. Informative verbal prompts: This
type of prompt will provide more
information regarding the
supported actions.
. Short prompts: This type of
prompt will provide simple
instructions about what can be
stated.
. Auto informative prompts: This
type of prompt plays during the
first few speech sessions, then
automatically switches to the
short prompt after some
experience has been gained
through using the system.
If a command is not spoken, the
voice recognition system says a
help prompt. Prompts and Infotainment

active, there may be corresponding
options showing on the displays.
A selection can be made by
manually touching the option, or by
speaking the number for the option
to select. Manual interaction in the
voice recognition session is
permitted. Interaction during a voice
session may be completed entirely
using voice commands while some
manual commands may expedite a

the same way as if the selection
were made using a voice command.
Once the system completes the
