This cheatsheet summarizes my most commonly used voice commands in Crew Chief v4. The commands are based on the default settings and may vary depending on your configuration. The official list of all commands can be found here.
How to read this: Where a command contains [option], replace it with one of the listed variations. For example, say “How’s my pace?” or “How’s my fuel?”. Rows without brackets list alternate ways to phrase the same command, so any of them work.
