to repeat the initial connection process each time. The phone will be 
connected automatically as long as the corresponding user profile has not 
been deleted using the  Factory settings function.
A maximum of four user profiles can be created. If you try to create a fifth 
profile, the profile which has been inactive for the most time will automati-
cally be deleted.

first time is described below. The procedure is started from the mobile phone

16Voice control: All modelsDialogue
The voice control system can be activated via the “Push to 
Talk” or “PTT” key on the phone adapter or the button on the 
multifunction steering wheel.In this manual, Dialogue  is defined as the time in which the speech control 
system may receive vocal commands and provide assistance for completion 
of different functions in case the user is hesitant and unsure how to proceed. 
The system also responds by vocal messages.
If a call is received, then the dialogue is immediately interrupted.
The voice control system includes the options,  short dialogue and long 
dialogue . The default setting is the long dialogue. The short dialogue is 
recommended when you are familiar with the orders and the structure of the 
voice control menu. The long dialogue offers more tips and information about 
the voice control procedure.
Note the following to ensure that you are properly understood:•Speak in a normal tone and without pauses or exaggerated pronuncia-
tion.•Avoid poor articulation of words.•Keep the doors, windows and sun roof closed if possible to avoid back-
ground noises that might affect the system.•Keep the air vents directed away from the microphone (located on the 
interior light).•At high speeds, you might need to speak louder to drown out background 
noises.•Avoid other noises in the vehicle duri ng a dialogue (e.g. other passengers 
speaking in the vehicle).
•Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue.•The hands-free microphone is directed towards the driver, therefore, only 
the driver should try to operate the system.•To make a call when there is heavy background noise we recommend 
using the speech controlled telephone book instead of speaking individual 
digits. This will help avoid mistakes when specifying telephone numbers.
