Telephone speech control system 160
Telephone speech control system
Applies to vehicles: with telephone speech control system
Introduction
You can use speech commands to operate various func-
tions of the telephone.
Functions
The speech control and hands-free system together enable you to
operate the on-board phone system very conveniently. The speech
control system recognises commands and digits spoken by
different people.
The speech control system allows you to do the following:
•Store name tags page 164
•Enter and dial a telephone number page 163
Traffic reports are not announced during a running dialogue. The
dialogue will be ended immediately when an incoming phone call is
received.
Unrecognised speech commands
The system acknowledges your commands with a tone signal. If the
system does not recognise a speech command, it will answer with
failed attempt the system will answer with
dialogue will be ended.
How to help the system understand you
•Speak clearly in a normal volume. Speak louder if you are driving
fast.
•Speak in a normal tone without long pauses.
•Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue.
•Close doors, windows and sun roof* to reduce background
noise. Make sure that passengers are not talking when you say a
command.
•Keep the air outlets of the air distribution system pointed away
from the microphone, which is fitted in the vicinity of the front inte-
rior lights.
•The system should only be operated by the driver, since the
hands-free microphone is directed towards the driver.
Should the system say
the status of the speech control system:
•Is the MMI active and the ignition on?
•Does a Bluetooth connection exist between the mobile phone
and the on-board phone system (car telephone kit* or phone pre-
installation*)?
•Is the mobile phone inserted in the mobile phone adapter*25)?
•Is the mobile phone switched on and the PIN entered?
•Are the phone book entries being loaded from the mobile phone
into the on-board phone system (car telephone kit* page 29 or
phone pre-installation* page 23)?
WARNING
•Please direct your full attention to the road at all times! As the
driver, you have full responsibility for the safety of the vehicle and
other road users. For this reason, you should only use the func-
tions in a manner that allows you to maintain control of the
vehicle in all situations - accident risk!
•The speech control system must not be used in cases of emer-
gency, since the voice changes in stressful situations. This could
result in a failed or delayed telephone connection. Always dial
emergency numbers manually!

Name tags

Introduction
Name tags are stored in the phone book for the speech
control system.
General notes
The phone book for the speech control system has 50 memory posi-
tions. You can use it independently of the mobile phone. The name
tags are stored in the phone book for the speech control system.
In the phone book for the speech control system you can assign
recorded names (name tags) to entries stored in the phone book of
the on-board phone system (car telephone kit* or phone pre-instal-
lation*). You can also store new entries with recorded names and
telephone numbers in the phone book for the speech control
system page 165. These entries are stored separately from the
entries in the on-board phone book (car telephone kit* or phone pre-
installation*).
Once you have stored name tags in the phone book for the speech
control system, you can select them via the speech control system.
Entering

the speech control system.
Numbers from ZERO to NINE are recognised when you enter a tele-
phone number. The telephone number can be specified all at once,
in blocks of digits (separated by a brief pause), or as single digits.
After each block of digits you specify (separated by a brief pause)
the system will repeat the digits. The system can only recognise
single digits (TWO, THREE, etc.), and not combinations of digits (e.g.
twenty-three).
