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.
The notebook
Recording a note
You can store approx. ten minutes of
spoken text Ð either as a single entry or
as multiple entries of any desired length.
To terminate recording:
Press the button for a long period.
When recording notes, the voice
command system does not respond
to the {Cancel} command. The text check-
ing function for command words is deacti-
vated in this case so that you can speak
any desired text for your notes. This feature
saves you from having to concentrate on
avoiding any command words.<
