Using individualization, you can fine-tune

voice control to your own voice and thus

improve voice recognition. The process of

individualization is described in chapter

“System Settings” (

Y

page 38).

If you use individualization, it may impair

recognition of other users. Switch off

individualization if it makes recognition of

other users worse.

Warning

Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from

using a cellular telephone while driving.

Whether or not prohibited by law, for safety

reasons, the driver should not use the cellular

telephone while the vehicle is in motion. Stop

the vehicle in a safe location before placing or

answering a call.
If you nonetheless choose to use the mobile

phone while driving, please use the handsfree

feature and be sure to pay attention to the

traffic situation at all times. Use the mobile

phone only when road, weather and traffic

conditions permit. Otherwise, you may not be

able to observe traffic conditions and could

endanger yourself and others.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph

(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is

covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately

14 m) every second.
