Voice commandVoice command system*The conceptThe voice command system allows you to
control operation of various vehicle
systems without ever removing your hands
from the steering wheel. The system oper-
ates on the basis of voice commands that
you will learn easily after using them a few
times. You issue your commands in the
form of instructions or in dialogs. The
dialog functions provide you with additional
support in the form of questions and infor-
mation.
The voice command system transforms
your commands and dialog answers into
control signals for the selected systems.
Please take the time to acquaint your-
self with how a particular system
operates before proceeding to control it
using the voice command system. At the
time of publication the voice command
system was available for use with the
English and German languages. Other
languages are currently in preparation.
When the voice command system is active
you can adjust the volume, refer to
page 141. indicates control via the voice
command system.<

voice command system. It is not necessary
to speak the words in parentheses.

voice command system.

button in the steering wheel.
A signal tone and "SVS" in the Info Display
indicate that the system is ready for use.
You automatically proceed to the orienta-
tion menu.
Except in dialogs, always press
the button again before issuing voice
commands.
During dialogs that include entry of text or
numbers, the information that the voice
command system has registered will
appear on the Info Display screen, refer to
page 14.To cancel voice command entryYou can terminate execution of a command
or dialog with >>Cancel<<, >>Exit<< or by

Notices
Do not use the voice command
system to make emergency SOS
calls. Your voice and habitual tone could be
affected by stressful situations, as a result
of which the process of establishing the
telephone connection could be unneces-
sarily delayed. Instead, you should use the
emergency SOS button located adjacent to
the rearview mirror, refer to page 161.<
Environmental conditionsThe voice command system uses a special
microphone located on the front headliner
of your vehicle. Although the system is
designed to filter out ambient noise, you
can help ensure that your commands will
be understood by observing the following
instructions:
>Speak smoothly and clearly, at a normal
volume. Do not place any unusual stress on
individual syllables, and avoid pauses
>Do not speak while the voice command
system is talking
>Keep the doors, windows and sunroof
closed to prevent interference from
ambient noise
>Avoid other sources of noise in the
vehicle while speaking, and ask other
vehicle occupants to refrain from talking
while you are using the system.
>The hands-free microphone is aimed
toward the driver. This means that the
system may be unable to register the
voices of other vehicle occupants properly;
passengers should use the mobile phone
instead.
The notebookRecording a note
>>Record note<<<
You can store approx. ten minutes of
spoken text Ð either as a single entry or as
multiple entries of any desired length.
To terminate recording:
Apply extended pressure to
the button.
The voice command system does not
respond to the commands
>>Cancel<< and >>Exit<< while you are
recording a note. The standard utility that
scans for system commands is deactivated
in the note mode to allow you to record any
text desired, without artificial restrictions.
This feature saves you from having to
concentrate on avoiding these words while
recording.<
To listen to a notebook entryListening to recorded notebook entries:
1.>>Read out (note)<<
or >>Listen to (note)<<
The system plays back roughly the first
3 seconds of the first memorandum.

Central locking system The concept The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. This simultaneously engages and
releases the locks on the following:
>Doors
>Luggage compartment lid
>Fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be oper-
ated
>from outside via the remote control as
well as via the driver's door lock
>from inside via the button for the central
locking system.
When the system is locked from inside, the
fuel filler door remains unlocked, refer to
page 37.
The anti-theft system is automatically
armed whenever you activate the central
locking system from outside the vehicle.
The alarm system is armed/deactivated at
the same time.
In the event of an accident, the central
locking system unlocks automatically (only
those doors which were not locked sepa-
rately with the safety lock buttons). Refer to
page 38. In addition, the hazard warning
flashers and interior lamps come on.Opening and closing Ð from
outside Using the remote control The remote control makes opening and
closing the doors of your vehicle very
convenient. Furthermore, it provides three
additional functions which you can only
execute via the remote control:
>Switching on interior lamps, refer to
page 36.
You can also use this function to locate
your vehicle in parking garages, etc. >Opening and closing the luggage
compartment lid, refer to pages 36, 39.
The luggage compartment lid opens,
regardless of whether it was previously
locked.
>Panic mode
In case of danger, you can trigger an alarm.
When you engage/release the vehicle's
locks, you simultaneously activate/deacti-
vate the anti-theft system, arm/disarm the
alarm system
and switch the interior lamps
on/off.
You can have various confirmation
signals programmed into the system
to verify that the vehicle has been locked
securely.<
Remote control
Because any persons or animals left
unattended in a parked vehicle could
lock the doors from the inside, you should
always keep the remote control unit with
you; this precaution ensures that you will
remain able to unlock the vehicle from the
outside at all times.<
Because their batteries are automati-
cally charged by the ignition lock
during normal operation, remote control
units that are used regularly are always
charged and ready for use.
When it is no longer possible to lock the
vehicle via the remote control, the battery is
discharged. Use this remote control unit
during an extended drive; this will recharge
the battery, refer to page 34. In the event of
a system malfunction, please contact your
BMW center, which is also your source for
replacement keys.<
