Voice Command System; The Concept - Mini Cooper S Owner's Manual

Voice command system

The concept

The voice command system allows you to con-
trol operation of various vehicle systems without
removing your hands from the steering wheel.
Individual menu items on the Control Display
can be spoken as commands. It is not necessary
to use the MINI joystick.
The voice command system transforms oral
commands into control signals for the selected
systems and provides support in the form of
instructions or questions.
Precondition
Via the onboard monitor, select the language in
which the voice command system is operating,
so that the spoken commands can be identified.
