The Notebook - BMW SERIE 7 2004 Owner's Manual

Notes
Do not use the voice command sys-
tem to make emergency calls. Your
voice and habitual tone could be affected
by stressful situations, as a result of which
the process of establishing the telephone
connection could be unnecessarily
delayed. Instead, use the emergency call
button near the interior rearview mirror,
refer to page 177.<
Environmental conditions
The voice command system uses a special
hands-free microphone located in the front
of your vehicle's headliner. Although the
system is designed to filter out ambient
noise, you can help ensure that your com-
mands will be understood by observing the
following instructions:
Speak smoothly and clearly, at a normal
>
volume. Do not place any unusual
stress on individual syllables, and avoid
pauses
Do not speak while the voice command
>
system is talking
Keep the doors, windows and glass
>
roof closed to prevent interference from
ambient noise
Avoid other sources of noise in the
>
vehicle while speaking, and ask other
vehicle occupants to refrain from talk-
ing while you are using the system
The hands-free microphone is aimed
>
toward the driver. This means that the
system might be unable to register the
voices of other vehicle occupants prop-
erly.
