Voice Recognition

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Voice recognition allows certain phone, navigation system (if equipped), audio system, and climate control system functions to be controlled with voice commands to reduce or eliminate the need to interact with the FCIM, FDIM, and/or device while driving.

When the voice steering wheel switch is pressed, an audible prompt originating from 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. For more information, refer to "voice recognition" in the Owner's Literature.
