Voice Recognition
The navigation system’s voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation of navigation, phone, audio system,
climate controls, windows, OnStar
®
, and memory
features. Voice recognition can be used when the ignition
is on or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
See “Retained Accessory Power (RAP)” in your vehicle’s
owner manual for more information.
To use voice recognition, do the following:
1. Press the talk symbol
steering wheel control
and release it when
you hear a beep. The
audio system, if on,
will mute.
When you are in the navigation screens, the system will
display a symbol (

) while the voice recognition is active.
2. Clearly state one of the commands listed on the
following pages. When the system recognizes the
command, it will either perform the function, ask you
to confirm your choice by clearly stating “yes or
no”, or issue an error message such as “System
does not recognize this command” or direct you to
“Please start speaking after the beep”. You may
also get a message saying, “System is checking the
disc. Please wait.” if the system is not yet ready.
To cancel a command or if the system talk
back does not match your verbal command, press
and hold the talk symbol button. The system
will reply, “System will cancel the voice recognition.”
If you experience difficulty with the system recognizing a
command, try saying it more softly, and wait for a few
seconds after the beep, or you may just try saying
it again.
To use the voice recognition system, the map DVD
must be loaded.
This system is able to recognize commands in five
different languages. The system will only recognize
commands based on the language selected.
