System Interaction and Feedback
The system provides feedback through
audible tones, prompts, questions and
spoken confirmations depending on the
situation and the chosen level of
interaction (voice settings). You can
customize the voice recognition system to
provide more or less instruction and
feedback.
The default setting is to a higher level of
interaction in order to help you learn to use
the system. You can change these settings
at any time.
Adjusting the Interaction Level Initiate a voice session by
pressing the voice button on the
steering wheel controls. See
Steering Wheel (page 46).
When prompted say the following: If you want the system to carry out the following
Voice command
Voice Settings | Voice Preferences
Followed by either of the following: Provide more detailed interaction and guidance.
Interaction Mode
Standard
Provide less audible interaction and more tone prompts.
Interaction Mode
Advanced
The system defaults to the standard interaction mode.
Confirmation prompts are short questions
the system asks when it is not sure of your
request or when there are multiple possible
responses to your request. For example,
the system may ask "Phone, is that
correct?". If turned off, the system simply
makes a best guess as to what you
requested and may ask you to confirm
settings. If you want the system to carry out the following
Voice command
Make a best guess from the command; you may still occa-
sionally be asked to confirm settings.
Confirmation Prompts
