VOICE RECOGNITION
Voice Recognition
If equipped, voice recognition allows
for hands-free operation within the
navigation, audio, and mobile device
applications. This feature can be
started by pressing
g
on the steering
wheel or by touching
g
on the
infotainment display with the
navigation application.
However, not all features within these
areas are supported by voice
commands. Generally, only complex
tasks that require multiple manual
interactions to complete are
supported by voice commands.
For example, tasks that take more
than one or two touches, such as a
song or artist to play from a media
device, would be supported by voice
commands. Other tasks, like adjusting
the volume or seeking up or down, are
audio features that are easily
performed by touching one or two
options, and are not supported by
voice commands.
In general there are flexible ways to
speak commands for completing the
tasks.
Try stating a One-Shot command,
such as
“
Directions to address
<number, street, city, state>.
”
Do not
include the ZIP code while stating the
address during the command. Another
example of a One-Shot Destination
Entry command is,
“
Directions to
Place of Interest at <hotel>.
”
If these
commands do not work, try saying,
“
Take me to Place of Interest
”
or
“
Find
address
”
and the system will walk you
through by asking additional
questions.
Hybrid Speech Recognition
If equipped, this feature helps
distinguish words by using
Internet-based information along with
the system
’
s voice recognition
database. This allows you to speak
more naturally when using voice
recognition.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available
once the system has been initialized.
This begins when the ignition is
turned on. Initialization may take a
few moments.
1. Press
g
on the steering wheel
controls to activate voice
recognition.
2. The audio system mutes and the
system plays a prompt.
3. Clearly speak one of the
commands described in this
section.
A voice recognition system
prompt can be interrupted while
it is playing by pressing
g
again.
For example, if the prompt seems
to be taking too long to finish, to
speak the command without
waiting for the prompt to
complete, press
g
again and wait
for the beep.
Once voice recognition is started, both
the infotainment display and
instrument cluster show the selections
