̄ Voice Control introduction
The Voice Control System gives you the ca-
pability to control the following systems on
your vehicle using spoken commands:
ț Telephone* ( ୴ page 313)
ț Navigation ( ୴ page 320)
ț Address book ( ୴ page 330)
ț Audio ( ୴ page 334) (AM/FM radio,
CD/DVD changer, MP3 player)
You control these systems using spoken
commands. Moreover, controls such as
the buttons on the multifunction steering
wheel (
୴ page 311) allow you to keep your
hands on the steering wheel.
The command vocabulary consists of
approximately 300 ready to use phrases.
The Voice Control System recognizes com-
mands and number sequences, irrespec-
tive of the speaker. To optimize speech
recognition for your voice follow the indi-
vidualization process (
୴ page 355).
You can use the Voice Control System to
call up all of COMAND’s main menu items,
with the exception of the main menus for
“Vehicle” and “Navi”.
The commands and digit sequences can be
spoken without pausing between the indi-
vidual words. If an unavailable or incorrect
command is used, the Voice Control Sys-
tem will prompt you for a new command by
asking “Please repeat” or “Please repeat
your entry”.
In order to provide for a safe and comfort-
able dialog, the Voice Control System ac-
knowledges important commands.
