Voice Recognition 57
Voice Recognition
Voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation within the
navigation, audio, phone, and
weather applications. This feature
can be started by pressing
gon the
steering wheel or touching
gon the
infotainment display.
However, not all features within
these areas are supported by voice
commands. Generally, only complex
tasks that require multiple manual
interactions to complete are
supported by voice commands.
For example, tasks that take more
than one or two touches such as
selecting a song or artist to play
from a media device would be
supported by voice commands.
Other tasks, like adjusting the
volume or seeking up or down are
audio features that are easily
performed by pressing one or two
controls, and are not supported by
voice commands. In general there are flexible ways to
speak commands for completing the
tasks. Most of them, except
destination entry and voice keypad,
can be completed in a single
command. If the task takes more
than one command to complete, the
first command should be to indicate
the kind of task to be performed, like
“Navigation Destination Entry.”
The
system replies with prompts that
lead you through a dialog to enter
the necessary information. For
example, if a destination for route
guidance is needed, say
“Navigation” or“Destination Entry.”
If your language supports it, try
stating a One-Shot command, such
as “Navigate to Address street, city, state/province>.” This
type of destination entry command
is supported in some languages.
Another example of a One-Shot
Destination Entry command is,
“Navigate to Place of Interest –
Hotels.” If these commands don’t
work, try saying, “Navigate to Place
of Interest” or“Navigate to Address”
and the system will do the rest. Voice recognition can be used when
the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
See
“Retained Accessory Power
(RAP)” in the owner ’s manual.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available
once the system has been
initialized. This begins when the
ignition is turned on. Initialization
may take a few moments.
1. Press
gon the steering wheel
controls to activate voice
recognition, or touch
gon the
infotainment display.
2. The audio system mutes and the system plays a prompt
followed by a beep.
3. Wait until after the beep completes, then clearly speak
one of the commands
described in this section.
Press
gto interrupt any voice
recognition system prompt. For
example, if the prompt seems

14402255) - 2020 - CRC - 6/5/19
58 Voice Recognition
to be taking too long to finish,
press
gagain and the beep
should happen right away.
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 on an entry
of a displayed number list instead of
speaking the number associated
with the entry desired.
Canceling Voice Recognition
.
Touch the voice icon. Touching
this icon will terminate a voice
recognition session which was
initiated by touching the icon on
the infotainment display.
. Touch or say “Cancel”or“Exit”
to terminate the voice
recognition session and show
the display from which voice
recognition was initiated. .
Press
ion the steering wheel
controls to terminate the voice
session and show the display
from which voice recognition
was initiated.
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.
Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those
languages, use direct commands
like the examples shown on the
display.
For best results:
. Listen for the prompt and wait
for the beep before saying a
command or reply.
. Say “Help” or look at the screen
display for example commands.

last group of digits and allow them
to be re-entered. Once the entire
number has been entered, the
command “Call”will start dialing the
number.

mail numbers.
Voice Pass-Thru
