Activating voice recognition via
server
Voice recognition via server enables use of the
dictation function, natural input of destinations
and improves the quality of voice recognition. To
use it, data is sent across an encrypted connec‐
tion to a service provider and stored locally there.

Speaking during voice output
It is possible to answer while the voice control
system is querying your previous spoken instruc‐
tion. The function can be deactivated if the quer‐
ies are frequently cancelled inadvertently, for ex‐
ample due to background noise or speaking.

Information for emergency
calls
The voice control system should not be used for
emergency calls. Under stress, a person's
speech and voice pitch can change. This could
unnecessarily delay the connection of your call.
Instead, use the SOS button, see page 349, lo‐
cated near the rearview mirror.
Operating conditions
▷ Doors, windows and the Glass Roof should
be kept closed to avoid noise interference.
▷ Avoid background noises in the vehicle while
you are speaking.
