can be completed in a single
command. If the task takes more
than one command to complete, the
first command would be to indicate
the kind of task that is to be
performed. The system replies with
prompts that lead through a dialog
to enter the necessary information.
Voice recognition can be used when
the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
See Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) 0 213.
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 the button below the
screen button.
When voice recognition is
started from the infotainment
screen, the selections and
visual dialog content are
displayed on both the center
stack display and the
instrument cluster display.
2. The audio system mutes and
the system plays a prompt
followed by a beep.
3. Wait until the beep stops, then
clearly speak one of the
commands described in this
section.
Press the button below the
screen button to interrupt any
voice recognition system
prompt. For example, if the
prompt seems to be taking too
long to finish, press the button
below the screen button
again and the beep should
happen right away.
There are two voice prompt modes
supported:
Long verbal prompts: The longer
prompts provide more
information regarding the
supported actions.
Short prompts: The short
prompts provide simple
instructions about what can be
stated.
If a command is not spoken, the
voice recognition system says a
help prompt.
Prompts and Screen Displays
While a voice recognition session is
active, there will be corresponding
buttons on screens displayed.
Manual interaction in the voice
recognition session is permitted.
Interaction during a voice session
may be completed entirely using
voice commands, or some
selections may expedite a session.
If a selection is made using a
manual control, the dialog will
progress in the same way as if the
selection was made through a voice
command. Once the system is able
to complete the task, or the session
is terminated, the voice recognition
dialog stops.
An example of this type of manual
intervention is pressing on an entry
of a displayed number list instead of
speaking the number associated
with the entry desired.
