Notes
Do not use the voice command sys-
tem to make emergency calls. Your
voice and habitual tone could be affected
by stressful situations, as a result of which
the process of establishing the telephone
connection could be unnecessarily
delayed. Instead, use the emergency call
button near the interior rearview mirror,
refer to page
<
Environmental conditions
The voice command system uses a special
hands-free microphone located in the front
of your vehicle's headliner. Although the
system is designed to filter out ambient
noise, you can help ensure that your com-
mands will be understood by observing the
following instructions:
>
Speak smoothly and clearly, at a normal
volume. Do not place any unusual
stress on individual syllables, and avoid
pauses
>
Do not speak while the voice command
system is talking
>
Keep the doors, windows and glass
roof closed to prevent interference from
ambient noise
>
Avoid other sources of noise in the vehi-
cle while speaking, and ask other vehi-
cle occupants to refrain from talking
while you are using the system
>
The hands-free microphone is aimed
toward the driver. This means that the
system might not be able to register the
voices of other vehicle occupants prop-
erly.
The notepad
Recording a note
You can store approx. ten minutes of spo-
ken text, either as a single entry or as mul-
tiple entries of any desired length.
To terminate recording:
Press
button for a long period.
When recording notes, the voice
command system does not respond
to the
{Cancel} command. The text check-
ing function for command words is deacti-
vated in this case so that you can speak any
desired text for your notes. This feature
saves you from having to concentrate on
avoiding any command words.
