Infotainment System
Most languages do not support natural
language commands in sentence form. For
those languages, use direct commands like
the examples shown on the display.
For best results:
.
Listen for the prompt before saying a
command or reply.
.
Say
“
Help
”
or look at the screen display
for example commands.
.
A voice recognition system prompt can be
interrupted while it is playing by
pressing
g
.
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
.
.
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 say,
“
Call <name> at work,
”
“
Play
”
followed by the artist or song
name, or
“
Tune
”
followed by the radio
station number.
.
Navigation destinations are too complex
for a single command. First, say a
command that explains the type of
destination needed, such as I want
directions to an
“
Address,
” “
Navigate to
an Intersection,
” “
I need to find a Place of
Interest or POI,
”
or
“
Directions to a
Contact.
”
The system responds by
requesting more details. For other POIs,
say the name of a category like
“
Restaurants,
” “
Shopping Malls,
”
or
“
Hospitals.
”
Most languages do not support natural
language commands in sentence form. For
those languages, use direct commands like
the examples shown on the display.
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
<number>.
”
Examples of these direct
commands are displayed on most of the
displays 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
<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. A selection can be made by manually
selecting the item, or by speaking the line
number for the item to select.
When a display contains a list, there may be
options that are available but not displayed.
The list on a voice recognition display
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
“
Make your selection
from the list using the manual controls 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 back to 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.
