Voice Control
Overview
The voice control confirms important com-
mands to you and gives you instructions in
the event of incorrect entries.
Command types
Voice control distinguishes between the
following types of command:
ț Global commands:
These are commands which can be
called up at any time (e.g. help or
phone commands).
ț 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 applica-
tion currently shown on the display and to
the audio source you are currently listen-
ing to.
For example, if you are listening to the ra-
dio while the navigation application is ac-
tive 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 appli-
cation using the corresponding command.
