Buick Encore GX Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-

Infotainment System
185
Direct commands might be more
clearly understood by the system.
An example of a direct command
would be
“
Call <number>.
”
Examples of these direct commands
are displayed on most of the
screens while a voice session is
active. If
“
Phone
”
or
“
Phone
Commands,
”
is spoken, the system
understands that a phone call is
requested and will respond with
questions until enough details are
gathered to make a call.
If a cell phone number has been
saved with a name and a place, the
direct command should include
both, for example
“
Call <name>
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.
When a display contains a list, there
may be options that are available
but not displayed. The list on a
voice recognition screen functions
the same as a list on other displays.
Scrolling or flinging can be used to
help display other entries from
the list.
Manually scrolling or paging the list
on a display during a voice
recognition session suspends the
current voice recognition event and
plays the prompt
“
Please select
manually or touch the Back icon on
the infotainment display to try
again.
”
If manual selection takes more than
15 seconds, the session terminates
and prompts that it has timed out.
The display returns to the display
where voice recognition was
initiated.
The Back Command
Say
“
Back
”
or touch the Back icon
on the infotainment display to go to
the previous menu.
If in voice recognition, and
“
Back
”
is
spoken all the way back to the
starting display, and then
“
Back
”
is
spoken one more time, the voice
recognition session will cancel.
Help
Say
“
Help
”
on any voice recognition
display and the help prompt for the
display is played.
Voice Recognition for the
Radio
If browsing the audio sources when
voice is touched, the voice
recognition commands for AM, FM,

available.
