VOICE COMMANDS
Voice commands can be pronounced
by the driver, which does not need to
change his/her normal driving position
to be heard by the system since the
microphone is properly located and
oriented to this purpose.
Voice commands, which are words
recognized by the system, are identified
as “keywords”.

of voice commands. The list of available
voice commands depends on the

by pressing

question of the system.

of voice commands like the name of
a contact in your phonebook.
There is no voice training required for
using voice commands with this system.
*
Valid
means that the keyword pronounced is included in the
Ford Audio
“dictionary” and that can therefore be recognized by
the system for the concerned level.
