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.
• You may not be
saying the name
exactly as it is
saved.
• Contacts in
your phonebook
may be very short
and similar, or
they may contain
special
characters.
• Your
phonebook
contacts may be
saved in CAPS. • Review the phone voice
commands at the beginning of
the phone chapter.
• Ensure that you are saying
the contacts exactly as they are
listed. For example, if a contact
is saved as Joe Wilson, say, “Call
Joe Wilson”.
• The system does better if you
list full names such as “Joe
Wilson” rather than “Joe”.
• Don’t use special characters
such as 123 or ICE as the
system will not recognize them.
• If contacts are saved in CAPS,
you will have to spell them.
JAKE will require you to say, “
Call J-A-K-E.”
Helpful Hints
• Ensure that the interior of the vehicle is as quiet as possible. Wind
noise from open windows and road vibrations may prevent the system
from correctly recognizing spoken voice commands.
• Ensure that you are speaking naturally and without any large pauses
between words.
• After you pull
to begin a voice session, wait until the prompt
sounds and Listening appears in the display. Anything spoken prior to
this will not register with the system.
• You can, at any time, interrupt the system while it is speaking by
pulling during an active voice session. The system will respond
with a listening prompt and allow you to speak a command.
• For a list of available voice commands, you can pull
and say,
“Help” after the tone. The system will audibly list voice commands
available in your current mode.
