Voice Command System

USING THE VOICE COMMAND
Voice Command System
SYSTEM
The voice command system provides a safe
and convenient way of operating certain
vehicle systems, without the need to
operate the controls manually. This enables
you to concentrate fully on driving the
vehicle and removes the need to divert your
attention from the road ahead, in order to
change settings or receive feedback from
systems.
A number of voice commands are available
and with a little experience, you will find
them easy and convenient to use.
The voice command system allows for
activation of the phone and navigation
systems, as well as for switching between
features of the touch-screen.
The system is controlled using the voice
button on the steering wheel. Voice
commands are picked up by a dedicated
microphone and audible feedback will be
heard through the audio system speakers.
Language settings
Voice feedback is given in the same
language as is currently set for the touch-
screen display. For example, if the Voice
recognition language is set to French, the
system will not recognize other languages
(e.g. English).

Activating the system
To activate the voice command system,
press and release the voice button on the
steering wheel (arrowed). The system will
respond with "Please say a command". Any
output from the audio system will be muted.
Note: It is only necessary to press the voice
button at the beginning of each voice
session.
Giving a command
Note: If background noise is excessive (e.g.
driving with windows open), the voice
system may not recognize a given voice
command.
Press and release the Voice button on the
steering wheel and, after the system
responds, say one of the commands listed
later in this section.
Note: Always wait until the system finishes
responding before giving a voice command.
Give commands while facing forwards, in a
natural speaking voice as if talking to a
passenger or on the phone. Most accents
are understood without difficulty, but if the
system does not recognize the command,
the system will respond with "I'm sorry, I did
not understand you" and allow two more
attempts to say the command.
