12 Radio
The RDS is always on. When
information is broadcast from the
current FM station, the station name
or call letters display on the audio
screen. RDS may provide a
program type (PTY) for current
programming and the name of the
program being broadcasted.
When RDS signal information has
been detected, the metadata fields
will be updated on the display to
show the RDS data. The radio text
will be updated any time new
information is received.
The RDS fields on the display will
show in the order of:
.Frequency and /or RDS-PSN.
. RDS text line one is the
information provided by the
broadcast.
. RDS text line two and three is
RDS text. Line three is used only
if necessary, to wrap over from
the text on line two.
If the RDS text information
overflows from line two and three,
the previous information given on line two and three will clear. The
overflow of information will finish
starting from the previously used
line two and then if necessary, line
three.
If an RDS text update occurs during
the paging, the display fields are
cleared and the new information is
displayed, beginning on line two.
Once the entire broadcast text is
finished paging, the amount of text
that can fit in lines two and three will
be displayed and an ellipsis will
indicate further text exists.
RDS Traffic Volume Setting
Traffic alert volume can be adjusted
by turning the volume up or down
while the alert is playing. The
system will store this setting for
future traffic alerts.
If the current source is playing at a
higher volume than the traffic alert
volume setting, the traffic alert will
play back at the current source
volume setting. If the current source
is playing at a lower volume than
the traffic alert volume setting, the
traffic alert will play at the volume
set for traffic.
Once an alert is complete, the
system volume returns to its
previously set level prior to the
traffic alert.
If the traffic alert volume is set to
zero during an alert, the next traffic
alert will play at the minimum
connection volume level.
If stations or sources are switched
during a traffic alert, the current
traffic alert will be cancelled.
Satellite Radio
If equipped, vehicles with a valid
SiriusXM satellite radio subscription
can receive SXM programming.
SiriusXM satellite radio has a wide
variety of programming and
commercial-free music, coast to
coast, in digital-quality sound. In the
U.S. see www.siriusxm.com or call

38 Voice Recognition
Once voice recognition is started,
both the infotainment display and
instrument cluster show the
selections and visual dialog content.
These displays can be turned on or
off in the Tutorial Mode under
Settings051.
There are three voice prompt modes
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
Displays
While a voice recognition session is
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
task. If a selection is made using a
manual control, the voice
recognition dialog will progress in
the same way as if the selection
were made using a voice command.
Once the system completes the
task, or the session is terminated,
the voice recognition dialog stops.
An example of this type of manual
intervention is touching an entry of a
displayed number list instead of
speaking the number associated
with the entry desired.Canceling Voice Recognition
.
Touch or say “Cancel”or“Exit”
to terminate the voice
recognition session and show
the display where voice
recognition was initiated.
. Press
ion the steering wheel
controls to terminate the voice
recognition session and show
the display where voice
recognition was initiated.
Natural Language Commands
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
Voice recognition can understand
commands that are naturally stated
in sentence form or direct
commands that state the application
and the task.

42 Voice Recognition
There are no restrictions if the
number of files and albums is less
than 12,000. When the number of
files connected to the system is
between 12,000 and 24,000, the
content cannot be accessed directly
with one command like“Play
.”
The restriction is that the command
“Play Song” must be spoken first;
the system will then ask for the song
name. The reply command would be
to say the name of the song to play.
Similar limits exist for album
content. If there are more than
12,000 albums, but less than
24,000, the content cannot be
accessed directly with one
command like, “Play name>.” The command “Play
Album” must first be spoken; the
system will then ask for the album
name. The reply would be to say the
name of the album to play.
Once the number of files has
exceeded approximately 24,000,
there is no support for accessing the
songs directly through voice
commands. There will still be access to the media content by
using commands for playlists,
artists, and genres.
The access commands for playlists,
artists, and genres are prohibited
after the number of this type of
media exceeds 12,000.
The system will provide feedback
the first time voice recognition is
initiated if it has become apparent
that any of these limits are reached
during a device initializing process.
Voice recognition performance will
degrade to some extent based on
many factors when adding large
amounts of data to recognize. If this
is the case, perhaps accessing
songs through playlists or artist
name would work better.
