Voice command system
The concept
The voice command system allows you to
control operation of various vehicle sys-
tems without ever removing your hands
from the steering wheel. The system oper-
ates on the basis of voice commands that
you will learn easily after using them a few
times. In many cases, the voice command
system supports you with announcements
or questions while you are making your
entries.
The voice command system transforms
your oral commands and dialog answers
into control signals for the selected sys-
tems.
Please take the time to acquaint your-
self with how a particular system
operates before proceeding to control it
using the voice command system.

Voice commands
The voice command system operates on
the basis of specific, predefined com-
mands; these commands should be spo-
ken precisely as indicated. You can have
the possible commands read back at any
stage. To do so, say the command
{Options}.
In addition to the commands described,
there are often other commands that run
the same function. Instead of
{Options},
you can, for example, also say {What now}.
