Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV Owner Manual - 2011
7-100 Infotainment System
Voice Recognition
The navigation system's voice
recognition allows for hands-free
operation of the navigation system,
audio system, and OnStar (if
equipped) features.
Voice recognition can be used when
the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
See Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) on page 9‑35 for more
information.
To use voice recognition:
1. Press and hold SRCE located
on the steering wheel until you
hear a beep. The audio system
mutes.
2. Clearly state one of the
commands listed on the
following pages.
Helpful Hints for Stating
Commands
.
When a multiple command is
available, choose the command
that works best.
.
Words that are in brackets are
optional. For example, for the
command Radio [band] [select]
FM, stating Radio FM or Radio
select FM are both valid
commands.
.
When the system recognizes the
command the system does one
of the following:
‐ Perform the function.
‐ Ask you to confirm your
choice.
‐ Issue an error message
“Did not recognize. Voice
Recognition Canceled.”
.
If you experience difficulty with
the system recognizing a
command, try saying it more
softly, and wait for a few
seconds after the beep,
or repeat the command.
