Problems with Route
Guidance
Inappropriate route guidance can
occur under one or more of the
following conditions:
.The turn was not made on the
road indicated.
. Route guidance might not be
available when using automatic
rerouting for the next right or
left turn.
. The route might not be changed
when using automatic rerouting.
. There is no route guidance when
turning at an intersection.
. Plural names of places might be
announced occasionally. .
It could take a long time to
operate automatic rerouting
during high-speed driving.
. Automatic rerouting might
display a route returning to the
set waypoint if heading for a
destination without passing
through a set waypoint.
. The route prohibits the entry of a
vehicle due to a regulation by
time or season or any other
regulation which may be given.
. Some routes might not be
searched.
. The route to the destination
might not be shown if there are
new roads, if roads have
recently changed, or if certain
roads are not listed in the map
data. See Maps030.
To recalibrate the vehicle's position
on the map, park with the vehicle
running for two to five minutes, until
the vehicle position updates. Make
sure the vehicle is parked in a
location that is safe and has a clear
view of the sky and away from large
obstructions.

Service
If the navigation system needs
service and the steps listed here
have been followed but there are
still problems, see your dealer.

52 Voice Recognition
without waiting for the prompt to
complete, press
gagain and
wait for the beep.
. Speak the command naturally,
not too fast, not too slow. Use
direct commands without a lot of
extra words.
. Usually Phone and Audio
commands can be spoken in a
single command.
For example, “Call David Smith
at work,” “Play” followed by the
artist or song name, or “Tune”
followed by the radio station
number.
. Navigation destinations are too
complex for a single command.
First, state a command that
explains the type of destination
needed, such as I want
directions to an “Address,”
“Navigate to an intersection,” “I
need to find a Place of Interest
or POI,” or“Directions to a
Contact.” The system responds
with requesting more details.
After saying “Place of Interest,”
only major chains are available by name. Chains are businesses
with at least 20 locations. For
other POIs, say the name of a
category like
“Restaurants,”
“Shopping Malls,” or“Hospitals.”
There is no need to memorize
specific command words. Direct
commands might be more clearly
understood by the system. An
example of a direct command would
be “Call 555-1212.” Examples of
these direct commands are
displayed on most of the screens
while a voice session is active.
If “Phone” or“Phone Commands,” is
stated, the system understands that
a phone call is requested and will
respond with questions until enough
details are gathered.
If the phone number has been
saved with a name and a place, the
direct command should include
both, for example “Call David Smith
at work.”
Using Voice Recognition for
List Options
When a list is displayed, a voice
prompt will ask to confirm or select
an option from that list. A selection
can be made by manually selecting
the item, or by speaking the line
number for the item to select.
When a screen contains a list, there
may be options that are available
but not displayed. The list on a
voice recognition screen functions
the same as a list on other screens.
Scrolling or flinging can be used to
help display other entries from
the list.
Manually scrolling or paging the list
on a screen during a voice
recognition session suspends the
current voice recognition event and
plays the prompt “Make your
selection from the list using the
manual controls, press
qBACK or
SBACK on the center stack,
or touch the Back icon on the
infotainment display to try again.”

one more time, the voice recognition
session will cancel.
Help
Say “Help” on any voice recognition
menu and the help prompt for the
display is played. Additionally, a
pop-up displays a text version of the
help prompt. Depending on how
voice recognition was initiated, the
Help pop-up will either display on
the instrument cluster or the
infotainment display. Touch Dismiss
to make the pop-up go away. Pressing
gon the steering wheel
controls while the help prompt is
playing will terminate the prompt
and a beep will be heard. Doing this
will stop the help prompt so that a
voice command can be used.
Voice Recognition for the
Radio
All audio screens have a voice
recognition icon (
g) to launch audio
voice recognition. If the voice icon is
touched in a radio display, the voice
commands for radio and media
features are available.
“Switch to AM” :Switch bands to
AM and tune to the last AM radio
