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. This feature only works if the map
DVD is inserted. See “Installing the DVD Map Disc”
under Maps on page 2-4.
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 a beep is
heard. The audio
system mutes.
While in the navigation screens, the system
displays 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:
− Either performs the function
− Asks you to confirm your choice by clearly
stating “yes or no”
− Issues 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 the verbal command, press and hold
the talk symbol button. The system replies, “System
will cancel the voice recognition”.
• If difficulty with the system recognizing a command is
experienced, try saying it more softly, and wait for a
few seconds after the beep, or you may just try
saying it again.
