touch Google Assistant on the Home

Canceling Google Assistant
.Presscon the steering wheel controls

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.”

commands for AM, FM, SiriusXM (if
equipped), and media apps (if supported) are
available.

“Play channel on
SiriusXM” :Tune to the SiriusXM radio
station channel number identified in the
