
Amazon account linking cannot be
performed while the vehicle is in motion.
While in motion, the vehicle will display the
“Unavailable While Driving” message. To link
the account, come to a complete stop and

Voice Recognition (VR) session.
Using The Amazon Alexa Voice Session
When an Amazon account is linked to the Alexa
app, you can use the vehicle’s Voice
Recognition (VR) button to activate an Alexa
voice session. To begin, press the VR button
and say “Alexa”. When “Alexa” is recognized
during a voice session, an Alexa VR session is
activated. Pressing the VR button on the Alexa
app will also activate an Alexa VR session.

If you say “Alexa”, the Alexa session is
opened. A “listening” tone is played, and the
request can be spoken.

If you say “Alexa” and a request, the request
will be sent to Alexa without a need to repeat
the request.
As an example, Alexa can be used to place a
call. Say, “Alexa, call 123-3456-7890”, or say,
“Alexa call <contact name>”. To place a call,
contacts must be ported into your Alexa
account.
While Alexa is responding, press the VR button
to “barge-in” and interrupt the response. You
can provide a new request while Alexa is
listening.
Alexa can be canceled by pressing the VR
button while Alexa is in listening mode.

through your vehicle’s speakers and control the
audio on the touchscreen. To begin, press the
VR button and say “Alexa, play song/genre/
artist/album/etc.”. The source being played
