Voice Activation System; The Concept - Mini CLUBMAN Owner's Manual

Voice activation system

The concept

The voice activation system allows you to con-
trol operation of various vehicle systems without
removing your hands from the steering wheel.
Most menu items on the Control Display can be
voiced as commands. It is not necessary to use
the MINI joystick.
The voice activation system transforms oral
commands into control signals for the selected
systems and provides support in the form of
instructions or questions.
Prerequisite
Via the on-board computer, select the language
in which the voice activation system is operat-
ing, so that the spoken commands can be iden-
tified. Setting the on-board computer language,
