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
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 again.
Once voice recognition is started, both the infotainment display and instrument cluster show the selections and visual dialog content.
These displays can be turned on or off in the Tutorial Mode under Settings.
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.
• Auto informative prompts: This type of prompt plays during the first few speech sessions, then automatically switches to the short prompt after some experience has been gained through using the system.
If a command is not spoken, the voice recognition system says a help prompt.
Prompts and Infotainment Displays
While a voice recognition session is active, there may be corresponding options showing on the displays.
A selection can be made by manually touching the option, or by speaking the number for the option to select. Manual interaction in the voice recognition session is permitted. Interaction during a voice session may be completed entirely using voice commands while some manual commands may expedite a task. If a selection is made using a manual control, the voice recognition dialog will progress in the same way as if the selection were made using a voice command.
Once the system completes the task, or the session is terminated,
the voice recognition dialog stops.
An example of this type of manual intervention is touching an entry of a displayed number list instead of speaking the number associated with the entry desired.
Canceling Voice Recognition
• Touch or say “Cancel” or “Exit” to terminate the voice recognition session and show the display where voice recognition was initiated.
• Press 
on the steering wheel controls to terminate the voice recognition session and show the display where voice recognition was initiated.
Natural Language Commands
Most languages do not support natural language commands in sentence form. For those languages, use direct commands like the examples shown on the display.
