ordering, purchasing, and installing a
new or replacement SD card. Features
are subject to change. For more
information on this feature, see
my.cadillac.com/learn.
Database Coverage
Explanations
Coverage areas vary with respect to
the level of map detail available for
any given area. Some areas feature
greater levels of detail than others.
If this happens, it does not mean
there is a problem with the system. As
the map data is updated, more detail
can become available for areas that
previously had limited detail. See
Map
Data Updates 0173.
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.

174 INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM
For example, tasks that take more
than one or two touches, such as 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 touching one or two
options, and are not supported by
voice commands.
In general there are flexible ways to
speak commands for completing the
tasks.
If your language supports it, try
stating a one-shot command, such as
“Directions to address city, state/province>.”Do not include
the ZIP code while stating the address
during the command. Another
example of a one-shot Destination
Entry command is, “Directions to
Place of Interest at .” If these
commands do not work, try saying,
“Take me to Place of Interest ”or “Find
address ”and the system will walk you
through by asking additional
questions.Hybrid Speech Recognition
If equipped, this feature helps
distinguish words by using
Internet-based information along with
the system’s voice recognition
database. This allows you to speak
more naturally when using voice
recognition.
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.
2. The audio system mutes and the system plays a prompt.
3. Clearly speak one of the commands described in this section.
A voice recognition system prompt
can be interrupted while it is
playing by pressing
gagain.
Once voice recognition is started, both
the infotainment display and
instrument cluster show the selections and visual dialog content. These
displays can be turned on or off in the
Tutorial Mode under
Settings0186.
There are three voice prompt modes
supported:
.Informative verbal prompts: This
type of prompt will provide more
information regarding the supported
actions.
.Short prompts: This type of prompt
will provide simple instructions
about what can be stated.
.Auto informative prompts: This type
of prompt plays during the first few
speech sessions, then automatically
switches to the short prompt after
some experience has been gained
through using the system.
If a command is not spoken, the voice
recognition system says a help
prompt.
Prompts and Infotainment Displays
While a voice recognition session is
active, there may be corresponding
options showing on the displays.
A selection can be made by manually
touching the option, or by speaking
the number for the option to select.

session is active. If“Phone”or “Phone
Commands,” is spoken, the system
understands that a phone call is
requested and will respond with
questions until enough details are
gathered to make a call.
If a cell 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.
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 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
“Please select
manually 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 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
spoken all the way back to the
starting display, and then “Back”is
spoken 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.
Voice Recognition for the Radio
If browsing the audio sources when
voice is touched, the voice recognition
commands for AM, FM, and SiriusXM
(if equipped) are available. “Switch to AM”
:Switch bands to AM
and tune to the last AM radio station.
“Switch to FM” :Switch bands to FM
and tune to the last FM radio station.

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 files by voice at
the highest level if the number of files
exceeds the maximum limit.
Changes to voice commands due to
media content limits are:

Cadillac XT6 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15218998) -

178 INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM
.Files including other individual files
of all media types such as songs,
audiobook chapters, podcast
episodes, and videos.
.Album type folders including types
such as albums and audiobooks.
There are no restrictions if the
number of files and albums is fewer
than 12,000. When the number of files
connected to the system is between
12,000 and 24,000, 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 12,000 albums,
but fewer than 24,000, the content
cannot be accessed directly with one
command like, “Play .”
The 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 files has exceeded
approximately 24,000, 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 12,000.
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.
Voice recognition performance will
degrade to some extent based on
many factors when adding large
amounts of data to recognize. If this is
the case, perhaps accessing songs
through playlists or artist name would
work better.
