Notes

For voice commands, bear in mind the follow-
ing:

>

Do not use the voice activation system to ini-
tiate an emergency call. In stressful situa-
tions, the voice and vocal pitch can change.
This can unnecessarily delay the establish-
ment of a telephone connection.

>

Pronounce the commands and digits
smoothly and at normal volume, avoiding
excessive emphases and pauses. The same
applies to spelling when entering a destina-
tion for navigation.

>

Always speak the commands in the lan-
guage of the voice activation system.

>

When selecting a radio station, use the stan-
dard pronunciation of the station name
{Select station} e.g. WPLJ

>

Keep the doors, windows and glass roof
closed to prevent interference from outside
noise.

>

Avoid ambient noise in the vehicle while
speaking.
