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.
Canceling Voice Recognition
Press the Home screen button.
Pressing this button will
terminate a voice recognition
session which was initiated by
pressing the button on the radio
touchscreen.
Press or say Cancel or Exit to
terminate the voice recognition
session and display the screen
from which voice recognition
was initiated.
Press on the steering wheel
controls to terminate the voice
session and display the screen
from which voice recognition
was initiated.
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 either naturally
stated in sentence form, or direct
commands that state the application
and the task.
Infotainment System
For best results:
Listen for the prompt and wait
for the beep before saying a
command or reply.
Say Help or look at the screen
display for example commands.
Voice recognition prompt can be
interrupted while it is playing by
g
pressing again.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, to speak the command
without waiting for the prompt to
g
complete, press again and
wait for the beep.
Speak the command naturally,
not too fast, not too slow. Use
direct commands without a lot of
extra words.
