Please refer to the information on operation
Voice control
and road safety on page 6.
The PCM is fully voice controllable (with the excep-
tion of the functions in the w and b
menus as well as the various SET menus).
The voice control system is designed so that you
can generally say each menu item shown on the
display. Exceptions are indicated by an appropri-
ate message on the display of the PCM.
Voice control is activated by pressing the button
on the stalk for the direction indicators, high beam
and headlight flasher (please see also section "Ac-
tivating voice control" on page 175). This allows
you to operate the PCM without taking your hands
from the steering wheel.
How voice control works
The voice control system recognises commands
or numerical sequences regardless of the speak-
er. It provides acoustic feedback and guides you
through the functions.

Voice control
Incorrect operation and cancelling a
dialogue
If you say an incorrect or unavailable command,
the voice control system responds with "Could you
repeat that?" and you can repeat the command.
After the 2nd failed attempt, the system offers as-
sistance; after the 3rd failed attempt, the PCM
aborts the operation and terminates the dialogue
with "End".
You have the following options for terminating
voice control during a dialogue:
û Say "cancel" when the voice control system is
expecting a command.
û Say "End" when the voice control system is ex-
pecting a command.
û Press any button on the PCM.
The PCM then executes the function corre-
sponding to the pressed button.
û The only exception to this is the volume con-
trol. You can only use this button to adapt the
volume of the announcements, not to termi-
nate a dialogue.
Functions of the button on the stalk for
direction indicators, high beam and
headlight flasher
By pressing the button on the stalk for direction in-
dicators, high beam and headlight flasher you can:
– terminate a voice control announcement while
it is in progress,
– skip to the next part of the announcement in
the case of announcements with multiple
parts,
– cancel a dialogue manually.
The button has no function during a telephone call.
Speech intelligibility
To make it easier for your voice control system to
understand your commands, please note the fol-
lowing points:
– The hands-free microphone is directed to-
wards the driver's seat. The voice control sys-
tem should therefore be operated by the driv-
er.
– Do not speak while your voice control system
is making an announcement.
– Speak without interruptions and at a normal
volume. Avoid long pauses and excessive em-
phasis.
