Information regarding
emergency calls
The voice control system should not be used for
emergency calls. Under stress, the spoken lan‐
guage and voice pitch can change, which could
unnecessarily delay the connection of your call.
Use the SOS button*, see page 258, near the
interior mirror instead.

Operating conditions

▷ Commands, digits and letters should be
pronounced fluently, with the usual empha‐
sis, and at a normal volume and speed.
▷ Always speak the commands in the lan‐
guage of the voice control system.
▷ When selecting a radio station, use the
standard pronunciation of the station name:
›Station ...‹, for example station Radio 3
▷ Doors, windows and the glass roof* should
be kept closed to avoid noise interference.
▷ Avoid background noises in the car while
you are speaking.
