152 Infotainment System
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 before saying a
command or reply.
.Say“Help” or look at the screen display
for example commands.
.A voice recognition system prompt can be
interrupted while it is playing by
pressing
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, press
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. 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
displays 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 display
functions the same as a list on other
displays. Scrolling or flinging can be used to
help display other entries from the list.
Manually scrolling or paging the list on a
display 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
touch the Back icon on the infotainment
display 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 touch the Back icon on the
infotainment display to go to the
previous menu.

Voice Recognition for Navigation (if
equipped)
“Navigation”:Begin a dialog to enter
specific destination information.
“Navigation Commands” :Begin a dialog to
enter specific destination information.
“Destination Address” :Begin a dialog to
enter a specific destination address, which
includes the entire address consisting of the
house number, street name, and city and
country.
“Destination Intersection” :Begin a dialog
to enter a specific destination intersection.
“Destination Place of Interest” :Begin a
dialog to enter a destination Place of
Interest category or major brand name (if
equipped).
Not all brand names of businesses are
available for voice entry. Most major chains,
such as chains with more than 20 locations,
should be available to search for by name,
but the name must be precisely spoken.
Nicknames or short names for the
businesses will not likely be found. Lesser
known businesses might have to be located
by category, such as fast food, hotels,
or banks. “Destination Contact”
:Begin a dialog to
enter a specific destination contact name.
“Cancel Route” :End route guidance.
Voice Recognition for the Phone
“Call ” :Initiate a call to an
entered contact. The command may include
location if the contact has location numbers
stored.
“Call At Home,” “At Work,”
“On Mobile,” or“On Other” :Initiate a call
to an entered contact and location at home,
at work, on mobile device, or on another
phone.
“Call ” :Initiate a call to a
standard phone number or emergency
number.
Say “Call ,” then after the
system reads back the number, repeat the
“Call” command to initiate the call. If the
number is not correct, “Delete”will delete
the number and allow it to be entered
again. If the number is not complete, speak
the remaining digits.
“Pair Phone” :Begin the Bluetooth pairing
process. Follow instructions on the radio
display. “Switch Phone”
:Select a different phone
for outgoing calls.
“Voice Keypad” :Begins a dialog to enter
special numbers like international numbers.
The numbers can be entered in groups of
digits with each group of digits being
repeated back by the system. If the group
of digits is not correct, the command
“Delete” will remove the 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.
“Voice Mail” :Initiate a call to voice mail
numbers.
Phone Assistant Voice Recognition
Press and holdgon the steering wheel
controls to pass through and launch Google
phone assistant or Siri.
For the low radio, whether connected by
Bluetooth or phone projection, the only
available voice recognition is either Siri
(iPhone) or the Google Assistant (Android).
