Voice Command System - BMW SERIE 5 SPORT WAGON 2004 Owner's Manual

Voice command system

The concept
The voice command system allows you to
control operation of various vehicle sys-
tems without ever removing your hands
from the steering wheel.
The menu items on the Control Display
serve as voice commands for the equip-
ment that can be operated using the voice
command system. This means you can
open these menu items using the voice
command system instead of with the con-
troller.
The voice command system transforms
your oral commands into control signals for
the selected systems and provides support
in the form of instructions or questions.
Precondition
If the language of the voice command and
Control Display do not match, change the
language of the Control Display, refer to
page 74.
