Vehicle Personalization w/Voice Recognition

The navigation system's voice recognition allows for hands-free operation of navigation, phone, audio system, climate controls, windows, OnStar®, and memory features. Voice recognition can be used when the ignition is ON or when retained accessory power (RAP) is active. Refer to Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Description and Operation in Computer/Integrating Systems or to Navigation System Description and Operation in Navigation Systems. To use voice recognition , do the following:

1. Press the talk symbol steering wheel control and release it when you hear a beep. The audio system, if ON, will mute. When you are in the navigation screens, the system will display a symbol while the voice recognition is active.
2. Clearly state one of the commands listed on the following pages. When the system recognizes the command, it will either perform the function, ask you to confirm your choice by clearly stating "yes or no", or issue an error message such as "System does not recognize this command" or direct you to "Please start speaking after the beep". You may also get a message saying, "System is checking the disc. Please wait." if the system is not yet ready. To cancel a command or if the system talk back does not match your verbal command, press and hold the talk symbol button. The system will reply, "System will cancel the voice recognition."

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. This system is able to recognize commands in 5 different languages. The system will only recognize commands based on the language selected. To use the voice recognition system, the map digital video disk (DVD) must be loaded.

Personalization Commands

The following are personalization commands you can access through voice recognition by clearly stating the commands exactly as they are written. These functions are available to help with setting, storing, and recalling driver settings.

Set driver one, set driver two: These commands instruct the system to change the driver setting between driver 1 and driver 2. For more information, refer to Keyless Entry System Description and Operation in Keyless Entry.

Set driver exit: This command instructs the system to set/store an exit position for the driver that has been chosen. Adjust your seat and steering wheel exit position before stating this command.

Select driver one: This command selects the memory settings for driver 1. The seat, steering wheel and navigation system settings will change to those stored by driver 1.

Select driver two: This command selects the memory settings for driver 2. The seat, steering wheel and navigation system settings will change to those stored by driver 2.

Select driver exit: This command instructs the system to select the exit position for the currently chosen driver.

Driver help: This command instructs the system to assist with driver commands. Help commands will be displayed on the map screen when the vehicle is stopped.

Other voice commands available for the navigation system are as follows:

For a complete list and description of all the voice commands available for the navigation system , refer to the Owner's Manual. The Owner's Manual will show you how to access and use voice recognition.
