.
Speak the command naturally,
not too fast, not too slow. Use
direct commands without a lot of
extra words.
.
Usually Phone and Audio
commands can be spoken in a
single command.
For example, “ Call Dave Smith
at work, ” “ Play ” followed by the
artist or song name, or “ Tune ”
followed by the radio station
number.
There is no need to memorize
specific command words. Direct
commands might be more clearly
understood by the system. An
example of a direct command would
be
“ Call 555-1212. ” Examples of
these direct commands are
displayed on most of the screens
while a voice session is active.
If
“ Phone ” or “ Phone Commands, ” is
stated, the system understands that
a phone call is requested and will
respond with questions until enough
details are gathered.
If the phone number has been
saved with a name and a place, the
direct command should include
both, for example
“ Call Dave Smith
at work. ”
Using Voice Recognition for
List Options
When a list is displayed, a voice
prompt will ask to confirm or select
an option from that list. A selection
can be made by manually selecting
the item, or by speaking the line
number for the item to select.
When a screen contains a list,
options may be available but not
displayed. The list on a voice
recognition screen functions the
same as a list on other screens.
Scrolling can be used to help
display other entries from the list.
Manually scrolling or paging the list
on a screen during a voice
recognition session suspends the
current voice recognition event and
plays the prompt
“ Make your
selection from the list using the
manual controls or press the Back
button to try again.
”
If manual selection takes more than
15 seconds, the session terminates
and prompts that it has timed out.
The screen returns back to the
screen where voice recognition was
initiated.
The Back Command
Say “ Back ” or press the Back button
to go to the previous screen.
If in voice recognition, and “ Back ” is
stated all the way through to the
initial screen, then
“ Back ” is stated
one more time, the voice recognition
session will cancel.
Help
Say “ Help ” on any voice recognition
screen and the help prompt for the
screen is played. Additionally, a
pop-up displays a text version of the
help prompt. Depending on how
voice recognition was initiated, the
Help pop-up will either display on
the instrument cluster or the
infotainment screen. Press the
Dismiss button to make the pop-up
go away.
