If the vehicle is equipped with
Connected Navigation, which
is a subscription service that
enables certain features of
the navigation system, such as
Traffic, Smart Search/Routing,
and Predictive Navigation,
then the system will download
the latest map data from the
cloud.
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
Updates0192.
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 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
