Using Voice Recognition

Using voice commands allows you to keep
your hands on the wheel and focus on
what is in front of you. The system provides
feedback through audible tones, prompts,
questions and spoken confirmations
depending on the situation and the chosen
level of interaction (voice settings).

The system also asks short questions
(confirmation prompts) when it is not sure
of your request or when there are multiple
possible responses to your request.

When using voice commands, words and
icons may appear in the status bar
indicating the status of the voice command
session. See Using Voice Recognition
(page 224).

911 Assist

WARNINGS

Unless the 911 Assist setting is set on
before a crash, the system will not
dial for help which could delay

response time, potentially increasing the
risk of serious injury or death after a crash.

Do not wait for 911 Assist to make an
emergency call if you can do it
yourself. Dial emergency services

immediately to avoid delayed response
time which could increase the risk of
serious injury or death after a crash. If you
do not hear 911 Assist within five seconds
of the crash, the system or phone may be
damaged or non-functional.

Always place your phone in a secure
location in your vehicle so it does not
become a projectile or get damaged

in a crash. Failure to do so may cause
serious injury to someone or damage the
phone which could prevent 911 Assist from
working properly.

Note: The SYNC 911 Assist feature must be
set on before the incident.
