78 Voice Recognition
Voice Recognition
If equipped, 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 the 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
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 do not
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
control to activate voice
recognition, or touch the
gicon
on 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

Voice Recognition 81
plays the prompt“Make your
selection from the list using the
manual controls or press the Back
button 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 the
display where voice recognition was
initiated.
The Back Command
Say “Back” or touch the Back icon
on the infotainment display 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.
Voice Recognition for the
Radio
Some audio displays 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

Handling Large Amounts of Media
Content
It is expected that large amounts of
media content will be brought into
the vehicle. It may be necessary to
handle large amounts of media
content in a different way than
smaller amounts of media. The
system may limit the options of
voice recognition by not allowing
selection of song titles by voice at
the highest level if the number of
songs exceeds the maximum limit.
Voice command option changes
through media content limits are:
.Song files including other
individual files of all media types
such as audiobook chapters,
podcast episodes, and videos.
. Album type folders including
types such as albums and
audiobooks.
There are no restrictions if the
number of song files and albums is
less than 4,000. When the number
of song files connected to the
system is between 4,000 and 8,000, the content cannot be accessed
directly with one command like
“Play
The restriction is that the command
“Play Song”
must be spoken first;
the system will then ask for the song
name. The reply command would be
to say the name of the song to play.
Similar limits exist for album
content. If there are more than
4,000 albums, but less than 8,000,
the content cannot be accessed
directly with one command like,
“Play
command “Play Album” must first be
spoken; the system will then ask for
the album name. The reply would
be to say the name of the album
to play.
Once the number of songs has
exceeded approximately 8,000,
there is no support for accessing the
songs directly through voice
commands. There will still be
access to the media content by
using commands for playlists,
artists, and genres. The access commands for playlists,
artists, and genres are prohibited
after the number of this type of
media exceeds 4,000.
The system will provide feedback
the first time voice recognition is
initiated if it has become apparent
that any of these limits are reached
during a device initializing process.

information.
