Destination and Guidance
Commands
Destination (Available for English,
Spanish, and French
languages) :Instructs the system
that the user wants to enter a
destination using voice recognition.
After this command is stated, the
system displays a menu for entering
the destination by address or
contacts stored in the address book.
If address is selected, the system

recognition icon on the
infotainment display. The audio
system mutes, and a beep is
heard. 2. Say the command
“Destination

with “say Cancel Guidance
Route or say Destination” if
there is a route entered
already. Otherwise the system
will reply with “Say the City and
State/Province or Say Change
Country.” If the country is
incorrect, go to Step 5.
Otherwise, say the city and
state/province for the
destination.
During the session, the city and
state/province matches to the
spoken city and state/province
name. The system asks the
user to select an item from the
candidate list either by
touching the desired choice,
or by saying the list number of
the desired choice.
3. There will be another prompt asking about address or
contact. The system replies
“Say the House Number and
Street Name.” Say the house
number and street name for the
destination. The house and street address as well as the
closest match to the spoken
number are similar to the city
and state/province commands.
4. This address is now set as the destination. Select the Start
Guidance option to begin
destination route guidance. At
that point there are additional
options to review the
destination location on the
map, or to preview the route,
detailed later in this manual.
5. After saying “Change Country,”
the system replies with “Say
the Name of the Country or
