Voice Command System - BMW SERIE 5 SPORT WAGON 2005 Owner's Manual

Voice command system

The concept
The voice command system allows you to con-
trol operation of various vehicle systems with-
out ever removing your hands from the steering
wheel.
Individual menu items on the Control Display
can be spoken as commands. This frees you of
having to use the controller.
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.
The voice command system uses a special
microphone located in the area of the interior
rearview mirror, refer to page 14.
Precondition
In the Control Center, set the language that
applies for the voice command system in order
to enable identification of the spoken com-
mands. Setting the language of the Control
Center, refer to page 74.
