Infotainment System
For languages that do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form, use the direct
commands shown as examples on
the display screen.
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 commands.
.
Voice recognition system prompt
can be interrupted during a
prompt by pressing
g
again.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, or if what is being
prompted causes a need for an
immediate reply, press
g
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.
.
Usually Phone and Audio
commands can be spoken in a
single command.
For example,
“
Call David Smith
at work,
” “
Play
”
followed by the
artist or song name, or
“
Tune
”
followed by the radio station
number.
There is no need to memorize
specific command words. Direct
commands might be more clearly
understood by the system. An
example of a direct command would
be
“
Call 555-1212.
”
Examples of
these direct commands are
displayed on most of the screens
while a voice session is active.
If
“
Phone
”
or
“
Phone Commands,
”
is
stated, the system understands that
a phone call is requested and will
respond with questions until enough
details are gathered.
If the phone number has been
saved with a name and a place, the
direct command should include
both, for example
“
Call David Smith
at work.
”
Using Voice Recognition for
List Options
When a list is displayed, a voice
prompt will ask to confirm or select
an option from that list. A selection
can be made by manually selecting
the item, or by speaking the line
number for the item to select.
When a screen contains a list, there
may be options that are available
but not displayed. The list on a
voice recognition screen functions
the same as a list on other screens.
Scrolling can be used to help
display other entries from the list.
Manually scrolling or paging the list
on a screen during a voice
recognition session suspends the
current voice recognition event and
plays the prompt
“
Make your
selection from the list using the
manual controls or press the Back
button to try again.
”
If manual selection takes more than
15 seconds, the session terminates
and prompts that it has timed out.
