infotainment system features.
Voice recognition can be used when
the radio is on or when Retained

If there is no tone, make sure
that the volume is turned up.
While voice recognition is active,
the system displays a
g
symbol
in the top right of the screen.

Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
.
When multiple commands are
available, choose the command
that works best for you.
.
Words in parentheses are
optional. For example, for
the command
“
Tune FM
(frequency),
”
saying
“
Tune
FM 87.7
”
or
“
Tune FM
”
are
both valid commands.
.
When the command is
recognized, the system will
either perform the function or
ask to confirm the choice.
.
When the system does not
recognize the command, the
system says
“
pardon.
”
.
If experiencing difficulty with the
system recognizing a command,
confirm that the command is
correct. Try saying the command
clearly or wait for a brief moment
after the tone.
.
Background noise such as a
climate control fan positioned
on high, open windows, and
very loud outside noises, even if
the windows are closed, can
cause voice commands to be
misunderstood.
