SiriusXM NavTraffic
If equipped, the infotainment system
may have SiriusXM NavTraffic. It is
a subscription service provided
through SiriusXM Satellite Radio.
A service fee is required to receive
the SiriusXM NavTraffic service.
Detailed traffic information is
delivered to the vehicle’s navigation
system by the SiriusXM Radio
satellites. SiriusXM NavTraffic
provides continuously updated
traffic information.
The service may be available in
more cities in the future. See
www.siriusxm.com/navtraffic/

information on how to reactivate the
subscription and SiriusXM radio ID.Traffic Alert While Under Guidance

development on the route ahead, a
search for a better route is

information and how much time may
be saved. If the alternative route is
accepted, the current route will be

Voice Recognition 59
.A voice recognition system
prompt can be interrupted while
it is playing by touching
g.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, to speak the command
without waiting for the prompt to
complete, touch
g.
. 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 say, “Call
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, say 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
by 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.”
Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those
languages, use direct commands
like the examples shown on the
display.
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 .” 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
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 display 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 or press
oBACK
to try again.”
If manual selection takes more than
15 seconds, the session terminates
and prompts that it has timed out.
The display returns back to where
voice recognition was initiated.
The Back Command
Say “Back” or press
oBACK to go
to the previous menu.
If in voice recognition, and “Back”is
stated all the way through to the
initial display, then “Back”is stated
one more time, the voice recognition
session will cancel.
Help
Say “Help” on any voice recognition
display 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
gwhile 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.
