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.
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. 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.
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:
• either perform the function
• ask you to confirm your choice by clearly stating
“yes or no”
• issue an error message such as “System does not
recognize this command” or direct you to “Please
start speaking after the beep”
• If the system is not yet ready, the system may state
“System is checking the disc. Please wait.”.
• 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,
“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.
