Voice Recognition - Buick 2016 Verano Intellink Owner's Manual

Voice Recognition

Voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation of the
infotainment system features.
Voice recognition can be used when
the radio is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
See Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) in the owner manual. The
system maintains a minimum
volume level.
Using Voice Recognition
1. Press / on the steering
wheel. The audio system
mutes. A voice prompt states,
Please say a command. Wait
until the tone is heard before
speaking.
If there is no tone, make sure
that the volume is turned up.
While voice recognition is
active, the system displays a
symbol in the top right of the
screen.
2. Clearly speak one of the
commands listed later in this
section.
Press / twice on the steering
wheel to skip the voice prompt
messages.
Canceling Voice Recognition
1. Press and release
the steering wheel control to
cancel a command, if the
system response does not
match the voice command,
or say Goodbye or Cancel.
2. The system replies, Goodbye.
Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
When multiple commands are
available, choose the command
that works best for you.
Words in parentheses are
optional. For example, for the
command Tune FM
(frequency), saying Tune FM
87.7 or Tune FM are both
valid commands.
Voice Recognition
When the command is
recognized, the system will
either perform the function or
ask to confirm the choice.
When the system does not
recognize the command, the
system says Pardon.
If experiencing difficulty with the
system recognizing a command,
/ on
confirm that the command is
correct. Try saying the command
clearly or wait for a brief moment
after the tone.
Background noise such as a
climate control fan positioned on
high, open windows, and very
loud outside noises, even if the
windows are closed, can cause
voice commands to be
misunderstood.
The system is able to recognize
commands in different
languages, such as English,
Canadian French, and Spanish.
The system only recognizes
commands based on the
language selected.
