 Voice recognition quick tips— if equipped

The Uconnect Voice Command system allows you to control your AM, FM radio, disk player, USB mass storage class device, Apple® family of devices, Bluetooth® Streaming Audio Device, satellite radio, and a memo recorder.

Note:

Take care to speak into the Voice Interface System as calmly and normally as possible. The ability of the Voice Interface System to recognize user voice commands may be negatively affected by rapid speaking or a raised voice level.

WARNING:

Any voice commanded system should be used only in safe driving conditions following all applicable laws. Your attention should be focused on safely operating the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in a collision causing serious injury or death.

When you push the Voice Recognition  button, you will hear a beep. The beep is your signal to give a command.

Note:

If you do not say a command within a few seconds, the system will present you with a list of options.

If you would like to interrupt the system while it lists options, push the Voice Recognition  button, listen for the beep, and say your command.

Pushing the Voice Recognition  button while the system is speaking is known as “barging in”. The system will be interrupted, and after the beep, you can add or change commands. This will become helpful once you start to learn the options.

Note:

At any time, you can say the words “Cancel,” “Help” or “Main Menu.”

These commands are universal and can be used from any menu. All other commands can be used depending upon the active application.

When using this system, you should speak clearly and at a normal speaking volume.

The system will best recognize your speech if the windows are closed, and the heater/air conditioning blower is set to low.

At any point, if the system does not recognize one of your commands, you will be prompted to repeat it.

To hear the first available Menu, push the Voice Recognition  button and say “Help” or “Main Menu”.

    For users experiencing difficulty with the system recognizing their voice commands or numbers the Uconnect Voice “Voice Training” feature may be used.

    1. Push the Voice Recognition  button, say “System Setup” and once you are in that menu then say “Voice Training”. This will train your own voice to the system and will improve recognition.

    2. Repeat the words and phrases when prompted by Uconnect Voice. For best results, the “Voice Training” session should be completed when the vehicle is parked, engine running, all windows closed, and the blower fan switched off. This procedure may be repeated with a new user. The system will adapt to the last trained voice only.
