Voice Command System - BMW 525i 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.
Individual menu items on the Control Dis-
play can be spoken as commands. Opera-
tion via the controller is not required.
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
hands-free microphone located in the area
of the interior rearview mirror, refer to
page 14.
Precondition
The set language of the Control Center and
of the voice command system should
match so that the commands to be spoken
can be identified more easily. Setting the
language of the Control Center, refer to
page 73.
