Control during voice dialog
While voice guidance is being provided by the Infotainment System, the microphone symbol “not active” (without the 3 lines) is shown on the instrument cluster display and on the Infotainment System screen.
x Briefly press the \f button on the multi-function steering wheel to interrupt voice guidance from the Infotainment System and immediately say the next voice command.
You can only say a voice command when the \f symbol “active” is displayed.
If a voice command is spoken incorrectly or incompletely and no action has been started as a result, the voice command can be repeated. The \f symbol remains “active”.
x Briefly press the \f button on the multi-function steering wheel to repeat the voice command.
Recording name tags
A name tag can be recorded as a voice command in some menus via the voice operation. Follow the instructions from the voice dialog. Avoid loud noises in the background when recording voice inputs.
Some voice commands are only available if the unit is in the right operating area.

Display of the help menus for the individual operating areas can be disabled
If a voice command has been misunderstood several times, it may be sensible to terminate voice operation manually by pressing the \f button longer and to then start again.
