54 Voice Recognition
There are two voice prompt modes
supported:
.Long verbal prompts: The longer
prompts provide more
information regarding the
supported actions.
. Short prompts: The short
prompts provide simple
instructions about what can be
stated.
If a command is not spoken, the
voice recognition system says a
help prompt.
Prompts and Screen Displays
While a voice recognition session is
active, there will be corresponding
options on screens displayed.
Manual interaction in the voice
recognition session is permitted.
Interaction during a voice session
may be completed entirely using
voice commands, or some
selections may expedite a session.
If a selection is made using a
manual control, the dialog will
progress in the same way as if the
selection was made through a voice
command. Once the system is able to complete 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.

this icon will terminate a voice
recognition session which was
initiated by touching the icon on

recognition session and display
the screen from which voice
recognition was initiated.
. Press
con the steering wheel
controls to terminate the voice
session and show the display
from which voice recognition
was initiated. Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those
languages, use direct commands
like the examples on the display.
Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition can understand
commands that are either naturally
stated in sentence form, or direct
commands that state the application
and the task.
For best results:
.
Listen for the prompt and wait
for the beep before saying a
command or reply.
. Say “Help” or look at the
infotainment display for example
commands.
. Voice recognition prompt can be
interrupted while it is playing by
pressing
gon the steering
wheel controls again.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, to speak the command
