Voice Recognition
The navigation system’s voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation of the navigation system,
audio system, and OnStar
®
features. The DVD map
disc must be installed in the navigation system for voice
recognition to work. See “Installing the DVD Map Disc”
under Maps on page 2-4. Voice recognition can be used
when the ignition is on or when Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) is active. See “Retained Accessory
Power (RAP)” in the Index of your vehicle’s owner
manual and for more information.
To use voice recognition, do the following:
1. Push and hold the
g
(talk) steering wheel control
until you hear a beep. The audio system, if on,
will mute.
2. Clearly state one of the commands listed on the
following pages.
Helpful Hints for Stating Commands
•
When a multiple command is available, choose the
command that best works for you.
•
Words that are in brackets are optional. For example,
for the command Radio [band] [select] FM, stating
Radio FM or Radio select FM are both valid
commands.
•
When the system recognizes the command the
system will:
− either perform the function
− ask you to confirm your choice by clearly
stating “yes or no”
− issue an error message such as “System does
not recognize this command” or direct you to
“Please start speaking after the beep”
•
If the system is not yet ready, the system may state
“System is checking the disc. Please wait.”.
•
To cancel a command or if the system response
does not match your verbal command, press and
hold the talk symbol button. The system will reply,
“System will cancel the voice recognition”.
