Voice Recognition

Voice Recognition

If equipped, voice recognition allows
for hands-free operation within the
navigation, audio, and mobile
device applications. This feature
can be started by pressing

g

on the

steering wheel or by touching

g

on

the infotainment display with the
navigation application.

However, not all features within
these areas are supported by voice
commands. Generally, only complex
tasks that require multiple manual
interactions to complete are
supported by voice commands.

For example, tasks that take more
than one or two touches, such as a
song or artist to play from a media
device, would be supported by voice
commands. Other tasks, like
adjusting the volume or seeking up
or down, are audio features that are
easily performed by touching one or
two options, and are not supported
by voice commands.

In general there are flexible ways to
speak commands for completing the
tasks.

Try stating a One-Shot command,
such as

“

Directions to address

<number, street, city, state>.

”

Do not

include the ZIP code while stating
the address during the command.
Another example of a One-Shot
Destination Entry command is,

“

Directions to Place of Interest at

<hotel>.

”

If these commands do not

work, try saying,

“

Take me to Place

of Interest

”

or

“

Find address

”

and

the system will walk you through by
asking additional questions.

Hybrid Speech Recognition

If equipped, this feature helps
distinguish words by using
Internet-based information along
with the system

’

s voice recognition

database. This allows you to speak
more naturally when using voice
recognition.

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

g

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

g

again.

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

again and

wait for the beep.
