Voice Recognition
Voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation within the
audio and phone applications. This
feature can be started by pressing
either the
/
button on the
steering wheel or touching the voice
recognition icon on the touchscreen
display.
However, not all features within
these areas are supported by voice
commands. Generally, only complex
tasks that require multiple manual
interactions to complete are
supported by voice commands.
For example, tasks that take more
than one or two button presses such
as selecting a song or artist to play
from a media device would be
supported by voice commands.
Other tasks, like adjusting the
volume or seeking up or down are
audio features that are easily
performed by pressing one or two
buttons, and are not supported by
voice commands.
Most voice commands, except for
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. The system will reply,
prompting dialog to help speak 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) in the owner manual.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available
once the system has been
initialized. Initialization takes place
once the ignition is turned on. This
may take a few moments.

/
on the steering
wheel controls to activate voice
recognition, or touch the voice
recognition icon on the
infotainment touchscreen.
2. The audio system mutes and
the system plays a prompt
followed by a beep.

3. Wait until after the beep
completes, then clearly speak
one of the commands
described in this section.
Press
/
to interrupt any
voice recognition. This will
terminate the prompt. The beep
is heard immediately, and a
command can be stated
without having to wait.
There are two voice prompt modes
supported:
Long verbal prompts: The longer
prompts provide more
information regarding the
supported actions for that voice
recognition session.
Short prompts: The short
prompts provide simple setup
and action commands.
The voice prompt modes can be
changed in the Voice Recognition
Menu from the Settings icon on the
Home Page.
If a command is not heard during a
short period of time, the voice
recognition process times out.
