Infotainment System 101

In general there are flexible ways to speak commands for completing the tasks. Most of them, except destination entry and voice keypad, can be completed in a single command. If the task takes more than one command to complete, the first command would be to indicate the kind of task to be performed, like

NavigationDestination Entry.” The system replies with prompts that lead you through a dialog to enter the necessary information. For example, if a destination for route guidance is needed, say “Navigation” or “Destination Entry.”

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 owner manual.
