Voice Recognition
The navigation system’s voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation of navigation and audio system
features. Voice recognition can be used when the ignition
is on or in ACC/ACCESSORY or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
The radio commands feature only works if the map DVD
is inserted. Bluetooth
®
and OnStar
®
functions will work
without the map DVD inserted. See Bluetooth
®
and
OnStar
®
in the index of the vehicle’s owner manual.
The system may not hear you or may hear the incorrect
word with the windows open or the convertible top
down due to background noise.
To use radio voice recognition:
1. Push and hold the SRCE button on the steering
wheel controls until a beep is heard. The audio
system mutes.
2. Clearly state one of the commands listed on the
following pages. For example, say “Radio Select
FM” or just say, “FM”.
3. The system tells you the command being
implemented. For example, the system says
“Radio Select FM” and change the audio system
to the FM source.
You may end voice recognition by not speaking any
commands. After about five seconds of silence,
the system automatically cancels voice recognition.
At times, the system may not understand a spoken
command. If this happens, try again. If a spoken
command is not available, the system provides
feedback based on availability.
While using voice recognition, make sure to keep
interior noise levels to a minimum. Otherwise, the
system might not recognize voice commands.
The system only recognizes commands spoken in
English.
