Helpful Hints for Stating Commands • When a multiple command is available, choose the command that works best. • 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 does one of the following: − Perform the function. − Ask you to confirm your choice. − Issue an error message "Did not recognize. 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 repeat the command. • Background noise may cause voice commands to be misunderstood, including airflow noise from wind. • To use the voice recognition system, the map DVD must be loaded and the navigation system must be on. This system is able to recognize commands in three different languages. The system only recognizes commands based on the language selected from the Driver Information Center (DIC). See DIC Vehicle Customization on page 3-65 for more information. Voice Recognition Commands The following list shows all of the voice commands available for the navigation system with a brief description of each. The commands are listed with the optional words in brackets. To use the voice commands, refer to the instructions listed previously. Voice Tag Commands The following are voice tag commands that can be accessed by clearly stating the commands exactly as they are written. There are up to 40 voice tag entries for destinations. Navigation go to [destination], navigation select: These commands instruct the system to select a destination saved under the voice tag you have stored. The system prompts for a destination name then waits for you to state the name. If not currently driving on a route, the system automatically creates the voice tag destination as the final destination. If driving on a route, the system automatically creates the voice tag destination as a stopover. Up to three stopovers can be created. 4-87
