Introduction

MOBILE MEDIA NAVIGATION SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with a mobile media navigation system which allows you to listen to, record and save music, play DVDs (audio and video), navigate the vehicle and operate climate control functions (if equipped).

Your system has a large range of features, yet is easy to use. The display screen is the primary means for operating the system through the use of its vertically tabbed menus, text screens and menu displays. Screen selections are made by touching the desired selection on the touch screen. The “tabs” along the left side of the screen represent the major components of the system. The status bars at the top and bottom of the screen will stay present for the majority of the time once the system is turned on and ready for operation. The top status bar will contain menu names, icons, and a clock. The lower status bar contains climate information (if equipped), icons and advisory messages. Please refer to Status bars in the System Overview chapter for more information. Navigation guidance is shown on the display touch screen and is supplemented with voice prompts.

Introduction

DRIVING RESTRICTIONS

In order to prevent the navigation system from distracting you while driving, access to certain functions are restricted when the vehicle is traveling above 5 mph (8 km/h). At this time, only the Quick Destination menu items are available for destination entry. Restricted functions include:

• Touchscreen keyboard during destination entry (Street address, POI, Freeway Entrance/Exit, Intersection)

• Scrolling of long lists

• Travel Link subscriptions (if active) such as movie times, ski

conditions, sports scores and scrolling of the weather map

• Editing/Adding entries in the Address Book

• Editing/Adding entries in the Avoid Areas List

• Jukebox restrictions such as creating/editing playlists, sorting playlists,

editing track, artist and album names

• Uploading photographs

Note: If your vehicle is equipped with SYNC威, similar features will be restricted also.

When the vehicle begins to move, and the Select Route Screen is shown, the highlighted route is automatically selected and guidance begins. When the vehicle speed is reduced to 5 mph (8 km/h) or less, system restrictions are lifted and you have full access to the system.

Voice recognition system overview

VOICE RECOGNITION (IF EQUIPPED)

Your vehicle may be equipped with an advanced interactive Voice Recognition (VR) system. This system allows you to perform many operations such as operating the navigation, audio, phone (if equipped), media, climate (if equipped), display and voice settings by “speaking” certain commands. The system will respond with a series of audible tones, prompts, questions and spoken confirmations depending on the situation and the chosen level of dialogue interaction.

Feedback through audible tones

Your VR system will respond through various audible tones. You may hear a tone at the following times:

• When you press VOICE or

• When you access the help feature.

• When the VR system does not understand your request

• When a VR session is completed successfully

• When a VR session is ended unsuccessfully

• When a speed dependent feature has been accessed

• When a new device is connected

The navigation system has five different audible tones that will play depending on the circumstance.

• Initial: Sounds when you are entering a new mode.

• Positive: Sounds for a positive recognition or a successful VR session

completion.

• Negative: Sounds for a negative recognition, an unsuccessful VR session, or when a speed dependent feature has been accessed.

• Listening: Sounds when the system is ready to listen for a command.

• Help: Sounds when you ask for ’Help’.

on your steering wheel controls.

Confirmation prompts

Confirmation prompts are short questions asked by the system when the system has not clearly understood your request or when there are several possible responses to your request. For example, if you have Confirmation prompts ON, the system may say, “Phone, is that correct?”. The system will then listen for a “Yes” or “No” confirmation from you. If you say “Yes”, the system will proceed. If you say “No”, the system will ask you to say the command again. If you have Confirmation prompts

2009 Centerstack (ng1) Supplement, 2nd Printing USA (fus)

Page 33

Voice recognition system overview

OFF, the system may assume it understood your request or may ask you to repeat your request. If the system is unsure of what was asked, it will prompt you to try again or ask for help. Note: Even with Confirmation prompts turned OFF, you may be asked to confirm certain settings occasionally.

Clarification through candidate lists

Candidate lists are created when the system has several possible options of similar level of confidence as a result of your request. The system will submit back to you as many as five possibilities for your clarification. This may happen either with your phone book and/or music selections.

Example #1:

You want to call John Doe at home, so you say, “Call John Doe at home”. If the system has a similar confidence level for a few items, it may respond with:

• (initial tone) “Say 1 after the tone to call John Doe at home. Say 2 after the tone to call Johnny Doe on mobile. Say 3 after the tone to call Jane Doe at home.” (listen tone)

Example #2:

You want to listen to a certain artist, so you say, “Play Artist John”. If the system has a similar confidence level for two possible options, it may respond with:

• (initial tone) “Say 1 after the tone to play John Doe. Say 2 after the tone to play Johnny Doe.” (listen tone)

HOW TO USE VOICE COMMANDS WITH YOUR SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

Press Recognition. Depending on the feedback setting, you will hear the prompt, “Please say a command” followed by a tone, or you will hear a tone, signaling that the system is ready to accept your command. Any command spoken prior to the beep will not register with the system. Speak the command clearly to ensure that the system is able to recognize and perform the desired function. You can, at any time, press

Speaking instructions

For the best voice recognition, please ensure that:

• The interior of the vehicle needs to be as quiet as possible. Wind noise from open windows and road vibrations may prevent the system from correctly recognizing voice commands.

Voice recognition system overview

• Press or VOICE and wait until the second tone sounds before speaking a command.

• Speak naturally without large pauses in between words.

• Speak louder if background noise is preventing the system from

recognizing your command

• Only one person should speak while the system is listening for a command.

• Please realize voice recognition performance is not 100% and varies by user. The voice recognition system is meant to be a secondary convenience control and if it doesn’t operate optimally, you can still operate your navigation system via the touch screen and hard buttons.

To speak voice commands:

Depending on the feedback setting, the system will respond differently. If the feedback settings are set to ‘Standard’, the system will respond with a tone, a prompt and another tone. If the feedback settings are set to Advanced, the system will respond without a prompt and with tones only.

Satellite radio reception factors: To receive the satellite signal, your vehicle has been equipped with a satellite radio antenna located on the roof of your vehicle. The vehicle roof provides the best location for an unobstructed, open view of the sky, a requirement of a satellite radio system. Like AM/FM, there are several factors that can affect satellite radio reception performance:

• Antenna Obstructions: For optimal reception performance, keep the antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and other material as far away from the antenna as possible.

• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.

• Station overload: When you pass a ground based broadcast repeating tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and result in an audio mute.

Unlike AM/FM audible static, you will hear an audio mute when there is a satellite radio signal interference. Your radio display may display ACQUIRING...toindicatetheinterference.

PLAYING A CD/DVD

Note: CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 4.75 in (12 cm) audio compact discs in the ISO 9660 format only. (UDF format is not supported.) Due to technical incompatibility, certain recordable and re-recordable compact discs may not function correctly when used in CD players. Irregular shaped CDs, CDs with a scratch protection film attached, and CDs with homemade paper (adhesive) labels should not be inserted into the CD player. The label may peel and cause the CD to become jammed. It is recommended that homemade CDs be identified with permanent felt tip marker rather than adhesive labels. Ballpoint pens may damage CDs.
