For voice commands, bear in mind the follow-
ing:

>

Do not use the voice activation system to
initiate an Emergency Request. In stressful
situations, the voice and vocal pitch can
change. This can unnecessarily delay the
establishment of a telephone connection.

>

Say the commands and numbers smoothly
and at normal volume, avoiding excessive
emphasis and pauses. This also applies
when spelling out and saying a full word
during destination entry.

>

When selecting a radio station, use the
common pronunciation of the station name.

>

For entries in the voice-activated phone
book, only use names in the language of the
voice activation system and no abbrevia-
tions.

>

Keep the doors, windows and glass sun-
roof

*

or panorama glass sunroof

*

closed to

prevent interference from ambient noise.

>

Avoid making other noise in the vehicle
while speaking.
