For voice commands, bear in mind the
following:
>
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.
>
Pronounce the commands and digits
smoothly and at normal volume, avoiding
excessive emphases and pauses. This also
applies when spelling out and saying a full
word during destination entry.
>
When selecting a radio station, use the
standard 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 roof/
panorama glass roof closed to prevent
interference from outside noise.
>
Avoid ambient noise in the vehicle while
speaking.
