2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Voice Recognition
Voice Recognition
- If equipped, Google Assistant allows for hands-free use of, media and messaging, navigation, and climate control functionality in the vehicle. This feature can be started by pressing
on the steering wheel, touching Google Assistant on the Home screen, or using the wake-up words “Hey Google” or “OK Google.” - However, not all features within these areas are supported by voice commands and requires the user to have a data subscription in order to use the Google Assistant feature.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available once the system is initialized. This begins when the vehicle is turned on. Initialization may take a few moments.
- Press on the steering wheel controls, touch Google Assistant on the Home screen, or use the wake-up words “Hey Google” or “OK Google” to activate voice recognition.
- Clearly speak one of the commands described later in this section.
Canceling Google Assistant
- Press
on the steering wheel controls to cancel the Google Assistant request.
Helpful Hints for Speaking Commands
Voice recognition identifies commands that are naturally stated in sentence form, or direct commands that state the application and the task. For best results:
- Speak the command naturally, not too fast, not too slow.
- Use direct commands without a lot of extra words. For example, “Call <name> at work,” “Play” followed by the artist or song name, or “Tune” followed by the radio station number.
Direct commands are more clearly understood by the system. An example of a direct command is “Dial <number>.” If a cell phone number was saved with a name and a place, the direct command should include both. For example “Call <name> at work.”
Voice Recognition for the Radio
If browsing the audio sources when the voice is touched, the voice recognition commands for AM, FM, and SiriusXM (if equipped) are available.
- “Play <AM frequency> AM”: Tune to the radio station frequency identified in the command (like “nine fifty”).
- “Play <FM frequency> FM”: Tune to the radio station frequency identified in the command (like “one oh one point one”).
- “Play channel <SXM channel number> on SiriusXM”: Tune to the SiriusXM radio station channel number identified in the command. This command may require an online connection.
- “Play <SXM channel name> on Sirius XM”: Tune to the SiriusXM radio station channel name identified in the command. This command may require an online connection. Voice Recognition for the Phone
- Makes sure the phone is paired using Bluetooth to use the phone-related voice commands.
- “Call <contact name>”: Initiate a call to a stored contact. The command may include location if the contact has location numbers stored.
- “Call <contact> At Home,” “At Work,” “On Mobile,” or “On Other”: Initiate a call to a stored contact and location at home, at work, on a mobile device, or on another phone.
- “Call < phone number>”: Initiate a call to a phone number of seven digits or 10 digits. “Redial”: Initiate a call to the last dialed number.
Navigation commands can be used to start, cancel routes, or add waypoints/POI.
- “Navigate to <destination address>” : Initiate navigation to the address in the command.
- “Add <destination> on my way”: Adds a way-point to the current route.
- “Take me home”: Starts navigation to the Home location set in Google maps
