Speak the command naturally, not too fast, not too slow. Use direct commands without a lot of extra words.

Usually Phone and Audio commands can be spoken in a single command.

For example, “Call Dave Smith at work,” “Play” followed by the artist or song name, or “Tune” followed by the radio station number.

Navigation destinations are too complex for a single command. First, state a command that explains the type of destination needed, such as I want directions to an “Address,” “Navigate to an intersection,” “I need to find a Place of Interest or POI,” or “Directions to a Contact.” The system responds with requesting more details. After saying “Place of Interest,” only major chains are available by name. Chains are businesses with at least 20 locations.

For other POIs, say the name of a category like “Restaurants,” “Shopping Malls,” or “Hospitals.”

Most languages do not support natural language commands in sentence form. For those languages, use direct commands like the examples shown on the display.

There is no need to memorize specific command words. Direct commands might be more clearly understood by the system. An example of a direct command would be “Call 555-1212.” Examples of these direct commands are displayed on most of the screens while a voice session is active.

If “Phone” or “Phone Commands,” is stated, the system understands that a phone call is requested and will respond with questions until enough details are gathered.

If the phone number has been saved with a name and a place, the direct command should include both, for example “Call Dave Smith at work.”

Using Voice Recognition for List Options

When a list is displayed, a voice prompt will ask to confirm or select an option from that list. A selection can be made by manually selecting the item, or by speaking the line number for the item to select.

When a screen contains a list, there may be options that are available but not displayed. The list on a voice recognition screen functions the same as a list on other screens. Scrolling or flinging can be used to help display other entries from

the list.

Manually scrolling or paging the list on a screen during a voice recognition session suspends the current voice recognition event and plays the prompt “Make your

With voice recognition capabilities and smartphone integration, CUE aimed to provide a modern and user-friendly experience.

Safety was a top priority for Cadillac in 2015, as evidenced by the inclusion of advanced driver-assistance technologies.

Additionally, models were equipped with advanced features such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and forward collision alert.
