Buick 2014 Regal Infotainment System Manual page 60

In general there are flexible ways to
speak commands for completing the
tasks. Most of them, except
destination entry and voice keypad,
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 to be performed, like
Navigation Destination Entry. The
system replies with prompts that
lead you through a dialog to enter
the necessary information. For
example, if a destination for route
guidance is needed, say
Navigation or Destination Entry.
Voice recognition can be used when
the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
