							Voice command issues
Issue Possible
cause(s)Possible solution(s)
SYNC does not
understand or is
calling the wrong
contact when I
want to make a
call.•You may be
using the wrong
voice commands,
OR
•You may not be
saying the name
exactly as it is
saved, OR
•Contacts in
your phonebook
may be very short
and similar, or
they may contain
special
characters, OR
•Your
phonebook
contacts may be
saved in CAPS.•Review the phone voice
commands at the beginning of
the phone section.
•Make sure you are saying the
contacts exactly as listed. For
example, if a contact is saved as
Joe Wilson, say “Call Joe
Wilson”.
•The system works better if
you list full names, such as “Joe
Wilson” rather than “Joe”.
•Do not use special characters
such as 123 or ICE, as the
system does not recognize them.
•If contacts are saved in CAPS,
you have to spell them. JAKE
requires you to say, “Call
J-A-K-E”.

							Using the Touch-sensitive Controls on Your System
To turn a feature on and off, just touch the graphic with your finger. To
get the best performance from the touch-sensitive controls:
•Make sure your hands are clean and dry.
•Since the touchscreen operates based on the touch of a finger, you
may have trouble using it if you are wearing gloves.
•Use your bare finger to touch the center of a touch-control graphic.
Touching off-center of the graphic may affect operation of a nearby
control.
•Do not press hard on the controls. They are sensitive to light touch.
•Keep metal and other conductive material away from the surface of
the touchscreen as this may cause electronic interference (for
example, inadvertently turning on a feature other than the one you
meant to turn on).
Cleaning the Touchscreen Display
Use a clean, soft cloth such as one used for cleaning glasses. If dirt or
fingerprints are still visible, apply a small amount of alcohol to the cloth.
Do not pour or spray alcohol onto the display. Do not use detergent or
any type of solvent to clean the display.
USING VOICE RECOGNITION
This system helps you control many features using voice commands. This
allows you to keep your hands on the wheel and focus on what is in
front of you. The system provides feedback through audible tones,
prompts, questions and spoken confirmations depending on the situation
and the chosen level of interaction (voice settings).
The system also asks short questions (confirmation prompts) when it is
not sure of your request or when there are multiple possible responses
to your request.
When using voice commands, words and icons may appear in the lower
left status bar indicating the status of the voice session (such as
Listening, Success, Failed, Paused or Try Again).

clearly.
You can say these commands at any time.
“Audio” “Navigation”

To access a list of all available voice commands, press the I hard button.
Select the Help tab on the touchscreen, then the Voice Commands tab
and choose the desired category.
Helpful Hints
•Make sure the interior of your vehicle is as quiet as possible. Wind
noise from open windows and road vibrations may prevent the system
from correctly recognizing spoken commands.
•After pressing the voice icon, wait until after the tone sounds and
Listening appears before saying a command. Any command spoken
prior to this does not register with the system.
•Speak naturally, without long pauses between words.
•At any time, you can interrupt the system while it is speaking by
pressing the voice icon.
Voice Settings
Voice settings allow you to customize the level of system interaction,
help and feedback. The system defaults to standard interaction, which
uses candidate lists, and confirmation prompts as these provide the
highest level of guidance and feedback.
Interaction Mode:Novice mode provides detailed interaction and
guidance while the advanced mode has less audible interaction and more
tone prompts.

confirm your voice request. If turned off, the system simply makes a best
guess as to what you requested. The system may still occasionally ask
