148 Infotainment System
Once voice recognition is started, both the
infotainment display and instrument cluster
show the selections and visual dialog
content. These displays can be turned on or
off in the Tutorial Mode under Settings
0 157.
There are three voice prompt modes
supported:
Informative verbal prompts: This type of
prompt will provide more information
regarding the supported actions.
Short prompts: This type of prompt will
provide simple instructions about what
can be stated.
Auto informative prompts: This type of
prompt plays during the first few speech
sessions, then automatically switches to
the short prompt after some experience
has been gained through using the
system.
If a command is not spoken, the voice
recognition system says a help prompt.
Prompts and Infotainment Displays
While a voice recognition session is active,
there may be corresponding options
showing on the displays. A selection can be
made by manually touching the option,
or by speaking the number for the option to
select. Manual interaction in the voice
recognition session is permitted. Interaction
during a voice session may be completed
entirely using voice commands while some
manual commands may expedite a task. If a
selection is made using a manual control,
the voice recognition dialog will progress in
the same way as if the selection were made
using a voice command. Once the system
completes the task, or the session is
terminated, the voice recognition dialog
stops.
An example of this type of manual
intervention is touching an entry of a
displayed number list instead of speaking
the number associated with the entry
desired.
Canceling Voice Recognition
Touch or say Cancel or Exit to
terminate the voice recognition session
and show the display where voice
recognition was initiated.
Press on the steering wheel controls
to terminate the voice recognition session
and show the display where voice
recognition was initiated.
Natural Language Commands
Most languages do not support natural
language commands in sentence form. For
those languages, use direct commands like
the examples shown on the display.
Helpful Hints for Speaking Commands
Voice recognition can understand commands
that are naturally stated in sentence form or
direct commands that state the application
and the task.
For best results:
Listen for the prompt before saying a
command or reply.
Speak the command naturally, not too
fast, not too slow.
Use direct commands without a lot of
extra words. For example, Call <name>
at work, Play followed by the artist or
song name, or Tune followed by the
radio station number.
Navigation destinations can be made in a
single command using keywords. A few
examples are: I want directions to an
address, I need to find a place of
interest or (POI), or Find contact.
