Voice Control (G2196500): Operation: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jaguar XE and 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The voice control system provides the driver with the option of voice control for a range of supported functions.

The following systems can be controlled by voice control:

Bluetooth® telephone system
Radio
Media devices
Navigation system - Only available on InControl Touch audio systems.

The voice control system uses a 'visual prompter' system, shown in the Touch Screen (TS). The visual prompter system guides the user through the flow. For example, showing examples of what they can say next and also confirmation of where they are in the conversation flow.

NOTE: Telephone voice commands are only accessible when a Bluetooth® device is paired and connected to the vehicle.

The system is operated by the voice control switch on the left steering wheel switchpack. Voice commands are detected by the dedicated microphone in the front overhead console. When giving a voice command an audible feedback will be heard through the vehicle speakers.

Efficient operation of voice control is reliant on the user understanding some of the following basic operating conditions:

Face forwards, sitting in a normal driving position.
After operating the voice button, always wait for the end of the audible tone before speaking.
Speak naturally, as if you were talking to a passenger or using a mobile phone without pausing between words.
When the system asks for more information, always wait for the end of the tone before responding.
Always say numbers clearly but at a natural pace.
Excessive noise, for example while driving with windows open, may cause voice command mis-recognition. If it is too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that voice commands will not be recognized.

Most accents are understood without difficulty, but if the system does not recognize the command it will allow two more attempts to say the command.

Voice feedback is given in the same language as the command recognition.

All feature items listed that can be activated by voice control, can also be activated by touching the relevant command list item on the TS. A list of the available features can be displayed by saying the 'More Commands' voice command. Alternatively, saying 'All Commands' or selecting 'All Commands' via the TS, will enable visual and audible instructions to be given in a default sequential order. This starts with navigation commands and then followed by other available features. The voice control system will work with the user to display the feature lists individually. Say (or select) 'Navigation Commands' or 'Phone Commands', then only the relevant commands for that feature will be read out and displayed.
