Voice Recognition

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Voice recognition minimizes driver distraction by allowing control of audio system functions while driving so they do not need to be carried out by interaction with the centerstack infotainment display and/or device.

When the voice steering wheel switch is pressed, an audible prompt originating at the APIM is heard from the speakers. Based on the customer's setting, audible prompts will either be a voice or a simple tone. When interaction mode is set to standard, detailed voice guidance is provided. When interaction mode is set to advanced, most prompts are tones only, and minimal voice guidance is provided. The microphone receives the voice commands and sends them to the APIM. Refer to the Owner's Literature for more information on voice recognition.
