are not listed in Maps.
To recalibrate the vehicle's position on the
map, park with the vehicle running for two
to five minutes, until the vehicle position
updates. Make sure the vehicle is parked in
a location that is safe and has a clear view

hands-free use of, media and messaging,
navigation and climate control functionality
in the vehicle. This feature can be started by
pressing
gon the steering wheel, touching
Google Assistant on the Home screen, or by
using the wake up words “Hey Google”or
“OK Google.” However, not all features within these areas
are supported by voice commands and
requires the user to have a data subscription
in order to use the Google Assistant feature.
Using Voice Recognition

the system is initialized. This begins when
the vehicle is turned on. Initialization may
take a few moments.

Helpful Hints for Speaking Commands
Voice recognition identifies commands that
are naturally stated in sentence form,
or direct commands that state the
application and the task. For best results:
.Speak the command naturally, not too
fast, not too slow.
.Use direct commands without a lot of
extra words. For example,
“Call
at work,” “Play” followed by the artist or
song name, or “Play”followed by the
radio station number.
Direct commands are more clearly
understood by the system. An example of a
direct command is “Dial .”
If a cell phone number was saved with a
name and a place, the direct command
should include both. For example “Call
at work.”
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.
“Play AM” :Tune to the
radio station frequency identified in the
command (like “nine fifty”).
“Play FM” :Tune to the
radio station frequency identified in the
command (like “one oh one point one”).
