INTRODUCTION

WARNING!
Always drive safely with your hands on the
steering wheel and obey all applicable laws.
You have full responsibility and assume all
risks related to the use of the features and
applications in this vehicle. Only use the
features and applications in this vehicle
when it is safe to do so. Failure to do so
may result in an accident involving in
serious injury or death.
Most of the navigator, radio, multimedia and
phone actions can be activated using the
voice system instead of the Rotary Pad.
For example, to make a phone call, you can
say "dial number" followed by the number:
"dial number 555-123-4567"
In addition to being practical and fast, this
method increases safety because it allows you
to keep both hands on the wheel during the
interaction and reduces distractions while
driving; the voice system will perform the
required operations and, if required, will
answer or confirm using a synthesized voice.
The system can recognize
commands given, regardless of gender, tone
of voice, and intonation of the person uttering
them.

recognize commands regardless of the
person uttering them; if several people talk
at the same time the superimposition can
create confusion and cause different or
additional commands to be recognized
It is important to remember that some func-
tions which can be executed by means of voice
control may not be available until synchroniza-
tion between the system and external devices
is completed (e.g. phonebook of phones
paired via Bluetooth®, archive of MP3 tracks
on USB devices). Synchronization may take
the voice
from a few seconds to a few minutes
according to the amount of data.
