Start voice control
To give commands via the
voice control system, you
have a "dialogue" with the
system. Depress the steering
wheel button for voice recog-
nition to activate the sys-
tem and initiate a dialogue
using voice commands. After you have
pressed the button, a beep tone can be heard
and the voice control symbol is shown in the
driver display.
This shows that the system has started to lis-
ten and you can start to say the commands.
As soon as you start to talk, the system is
trained to recognise and understand your
voice. This takes several seconds and is done
automatically, which means that you do not
need to start any voice training manually.
Remember the following:
Speak after the tone with a normal voice
•
at a normal tempo.
Do not speak while the system is replying
•
(the system cannot understand com-
mands during this time).
Avoid background noise in the passenger
•
compartment by having the doors, win-
dows and panoramic roof* closed.
* Option/accessory.
