Ford Fusion Hybrid (2014 year). Manual — part 88

Note: If your vehicle is not equipped with
Navigation, Compass appears in the display
instead of Navigation. If you press the right
arrow to go into the Compass menu, you
can see the compass graphic. The compass
displays the direction in which the vehicle
is traveling, not true direction (for example,
if the vehicle is traveling west, the middle
of the compass graphic displays west; north
displays to the left of west though its true
direction is to the right of west).

Using Voice Recognition

This system helps you control many
features using voice commands. This
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 lower left status
bar indicating the status of the voice
session (such as Listening, Success, Failed,
Paused or Try Again).

What Can I Say?

To access the available voice commands
for the current session, do one of the
following:

•

During a voice session, press the help
icon (?) in the lower left status bar of
the screen.

•

Say, "What can I say?" for an
on-screen listing of the possible voice
commands associated with your
current voice session.

•

Press the voice icon. After the tone, say,
"Help" for an audible list of possible
voice commands.

Helpful Hints

•

Make sure the interior of your vehicle is
as quiet as possible. Wind noise from
open windows and road vibrations may
prevent the system from correctly
recognizing spoken commands.

•

After pressing the voice icon, wait until
after the tone sounds and Listening
appears before saying a command. Any
command spoken before this does not
register with the system.

•

Speak naturally, without long pauses
between words.

•

At any time, you can interrupt the
system while it is speaking by pressing
the voice icon.

Voice Settings

Voice settings allow you to customize the
level of system interaction, help and
feedback. The system defaults to standard
interaction that uses candidate lists and
confirmation prompts as these provide the
highest level of guidance and feedback.

•

Interaction Mode: Novice mode
provides detailed interaction and
guidance while the advanced mode
has less audible interaction and more
tone prompts.

•

Confirmation Prompts: The system
uses these short questions to confirm
your voice request. If turned off, the
system simply makes a best guess as
to what you requested. The system
may still occasionally ask you to
confirm settings.

•

Phone and Media Candidate Lists:
Candidate lists are lists of possible
results from your voice commands. The
system creates these lists when it has
the same confidence level of several
options based on your voice command.

To access these settings using the
touchscreen:

1.

Press the Settings icon > Settings >
then Voice Control.

2. Select from the following:

•

Interaction Mode

•

Confirmation Prompts

•

Media Candidate Lists

•

Phone Candidate Lists

•

Voice Control Volume.

To access these settings using voice
commands:

1.

Press the voice icon. Wait for the
prompt "Please say a command".
Another tone sounds to let you know
the system is listening.

Using Voice Commands with the
Touchscreen Options

Your voice system has a dual mode feature
which allows you to switch between using
voice commands and making on-screen
selections. This is available only when the
system displays a list of candidates
generated during a voice session. For
example, when entering in a street address
or trying to call a contact from the phone
you paired to the system.
