Voice controlIntroductionThe period, in which the telephone system is ready to receive voice commands and 
carry out the voice commands, is called DI ALOGUE. The system gives audible feedback 
and guides you if necessary through the relevant functions.

navigation system* or with the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel*. Switch on voice control (dialogue)
You can start the dialogue at any time
 by briefly pressing the PTT button 
 on the 
multifunction st eering wheel* page 134.
If the system does not recognise your command, it repeats the first part of the aid and 
thus a new entry is possible. After the 2nd error the system repeats the second part of

tion steering wheel*  page 134. If the system expects a voice command, you can end 
the dialogue with the command  CANCEL.

call by pressing the button 
 on the multifunction steering wheel*.
Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on the following 
factors:
Speak with a normal tone of voice withou t intonation and excessive voice pauses.
Avoid insufficient articulation.
Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, in order to reduce or stop disturbing 
exterior noise.
It is recommended to speak louder at higher  speeds, so that the tone of your voice 
is louder than the increased surrounding noise.
During the dialogue avoid additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. simultaneously 
talking occupants.
Do not speak, if the system makes an announcement.
The microphone for voice control is inserted in the moulded headliner and 
directed to the driver and front passenger.  Therefore the driver and the front passenger 
can operate the equipment.
