Helpful hints for speaking
commands
■ When multiple commands are
available, choose the command
that best works for you.
■ Words in brackets are optional. For
example, for the command “(Radio
| Radio band) (FM | F M),” saying
“Radio FM”” or “Radio Band FM”
are both valid commands.
■ Words separated by a ( / ) mean
there is a choice of using a word on
either side of the slash. For
example, for the command (CD | C
D | DVD | D V D | Disc) help, you
can say “CD (help)” or “DVD
(help)” or “Disc help.”
■ When the system recognizes the
command, the system will either
perform the function or ask to
confirm the choice by clearly saying
“YES” or “NO.”
■ When the system does not
recognize the command, the
system issues an error message
such as “Pardon” or “command not
recognized”. The system could also
say, “Voice recognition canceled.”
■ If experiencing difficulty with the
system recognizing a command,
confirm that the command is
correct. Try saying the command
clearly or wait for a brief moment
after the beep.
■ 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.
■ This system is able to recognize
commands in different languages.
The system only recognizes
commands based on the language
selected.
■ To increase or decrease the voice
volume during a voice recognition
session, turn the volume knob of
the radio, or press the volume
steering wheel control buttons. If
the volume is adjusted during
a voice recognition session,
a Voice Volume bar appears on the
screen showing the voice volume
level as it is being adjusted. This
also changes the volume of the
guidance prompts.
