How To: Use Voice Recognition

With Chevy Bluetooth, you can wirelessly connect your phone to the vehicle, allowing hands-free calls, streaming audio, and more. Plus, voice control lets you use voice commands to control many of the features on your vehicle. There are different types of voice control options available, and each works a different way.

Bluetooth Voice Commands

If your vehicle is equipped with voice-recognition technology, you can use voice commands to make calls, control your infotainment system and work with Siri or Google Assistant on your compatible Bluetooth-connected phone, depending on which kind of features your vehicle supports. To use it, press and hold the Push-To-Talk button on the steering wheel (a short press will not work). This can only control functions supported by your phone (e.g., calling, calendar, texts, map apps).
