Indicator and warning lamps
Technology that monitors itself

The indicator and warning lamps identified
by the

l

symbol are subjected to an oper-
ation check each time you switch on the
ignition or start the engine. They each light
up once for different periods of time.
When a malfunction occurs in a monitored
system, the corresponding lamp will either
fail to go out when the engine is started, or
it will come on again during normal driving.
For information on how you should respond
when this happens, please refer to the
pages indicated.
Please fasten safety belts

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.<
>>...<< identifies commands used in the
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.

tion menu.

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

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.
2.Respond to the query >Note and then<
by selecting the desired function
>To listen to the entire note:
>>Read (note)<<
(>>Listen to (note)<<)
>To hear the next notebook entry:
>>Next note<< (>>(Note) next<<)
>To hear the entry again:
>>(Note) back<<
or
>>Once again<< (>>Repeat<<, >>Read
out<<).<
