Voice Menus
A little visual cue can go a long way to improving the confidence and
accuracy of the system delivering what the driver wants. Voice menus help
guide owners in using the system.
The system is capable of recognizing thousands of commands, so to help
pinpoint the right one, pop-up screens appear aer pressing the Voice
button on the steering wheel. There are many pop-up screens, each specific
to the features of the system, based on what the user says, for example:
• What Can I Say?
• Phone
• Navigation (if equipped)
• Audio
• Climate
• Mobile Apps
The most common commands are listed and a green bar appears at the top
of the screen with a “Speak Now” cue.
