Navigation Manual

Voice Recognition
The navigation system’s voice recognition allows
for hands-free operation of the navigation system,
audio system, and OnStar
®
features. The DVD map
disc must be installed in the navigation system for
voice recognition to work. See “Installing the DVD
Map Disc” under Maps on page 18.
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 Index of your vehicle’s owner manual for
more information.
To use voice recognition, do the following:
1. Push and hold the
talk symbol steering
wheel control
until you hear a
beep. The audio
system will mute.
2. Clearly state one of the commands listed on
the following pages.
Helpful Hints for Stating Commands
•
When a multiple command is available, choose
the command that best works for you.
• Words that are in brackets are optional.
For example, for the command Radio [band]
[select] FM, stating Radio FM or Radio
select FM are both valid commands.
• When the system recognizes the command
the system will do one of the following:
− Perform the function.
− Ask you to confirm your choice.
− Issue an error message “Did not
recognize. Voice Recognition Canceled.”
• If the system is not yet ready, the system will
display a message.
• To cancel a command or if the system
response does not match your verbal
command, press and hold the talk symbol
button. The system will reply, “Voice
Recognition Canceled”.
• If you experience difficulty with the system
recognizing a command, try saying it more
softly, and wait for a few seconds after
the beep, or you may just try saying it again.
