commands
Briefly press the button on the steering
wheel or
{Cancel}.
In dialogs where text is spoken, e.g. a name
rather than a command, canceling is only possi-
ble using the button on the steering wheel.
Having the possible commands read
aloud
The system recognizes specific commands
that must be pronounced exactly word for word.
You can have the possible commands for any
function read aloud to you:
{Help}
Using alternative commands
Often there is more than a single command to
run a function, e.g.:
{Dial name} or {Name}.
Digits from zero to nine are recognized.
You can say each digit individually or group
them into a sequence to accelerate the input.
