Usage
You can use the voice control system to
operate the following systems depending on
the equipment in your vehicle:
R
Phone
R
Navigation
R
Address book
R
Audio (radio, satellite radio, DVD changer,
memory card, music register)
Say the commands without pausing between
individual words. If you enter a command that
does not exist or is incorrect, the voice
control system asks you for a new command
with Please repeat or Please repeat
your entry!. The voice control confirms
important commands to you and gives you
instructions in the event of incorrect entries.
Command Types
Voice control distinguishes between the
following types of command:
R
Global commands:
These are commands which can be called
up at any time (e.g. help or phone
commands).
R
Local commands:
These are commands which are only
available for the active application (e.g.
“Enter destination” during navigation).
Active Application
The local commands refer to the application
currently shown on the display and to the
audio source you are currently listening to.
For example, if you are listening to the radio
while the navigation application is active on
the display, you can operate both
applications using voice control.
To operate a different function using voice
control, you must first switch to that
application using the corresponding
command.
