Voice activation system
Vehicle equipment
In this chapter, all production, country, and
optional equipment that is offered in the model
range is described. Equipment is also described
that is not available because of, for example,
selected options or count ry version. This also
applies to safety related functions and systems.
The concept
> By using the voice activation system, most of
the functions that are displayed on the Con-
trol Display can be operated via voice com-
mands. The system supports the entry pro-
cess by means of announcements.
> Functions that can only be used while the
vehicle is not moving cannot be operated via
the voice activation system.
> The system includes a special microphone in
the roofliner on the driver's side.
Prerequisite
So that voice commands can be identified, set a
language on the Control Display that is sup-
ported by the voice activation system.
To set the language, see page 69.
Symbols in the Owner's Manual

Notes
For voice commands, bear in mind the follow-
ing:
> Do not use the voice activation system to ini-
tiate an emergency call. In stressful situa-
tions, the voice and vocal pitch can change.
This can unnecessarily delay the establish-
ment of a telephone connection.
> Pronounce the commands and digits
smoothly and at norm al volume, avoiding
excessive emphases and pauses. The same
applies to spelling wh en entering a destina-
tion for navigation.
> Always speak the commands in the lan-
guage of the voice activation system.
> When selecting a radio station, use the stan-
dard pronunciation of the station name
{ Select station } e.g. WPLJ >
Keep the doors, windows and glass roof
closed to prevent interference from outside
noise.
> Avoid ambient noise in the vehicle while
speaking.

tions: >

> Unlocking the tailgate separately
> Starting the engine

>There are no external malfunction sources in
the vicinity.
> For locking, the remote control must be out-
side of the vehicle.
> The vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked
again until after approx. 2 seconds.
> The engine can only be started if the remote
control is in the vehicle.
> The doors and tailgate mu st be closed to be
able to operate the windows and glass roof.
