Infotainment System
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
selecting 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
tasks.
Try stating a One-Shot command,
such as
“
Directions to address
<house number, street, city,
country>
”
. This type of destination
entry command is supported in
some languages. 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.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available
once the system has been
initialised. This begins when the
ignition is turned on. Initialisation
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
followed by a beep.
3. Wait until after the beep
completes, then 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.
There are three voice prompt modes
supported:
.
Informative verbal prompts: This
type of prompt will provide more
information regarding the
supported actions.
.
Short prompts: This type of
prompt will provide simple
instructions about what can be
stated.
