Technology that monitors itself 
The indicator and warning lamps identified 
by the 
+ 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.

The concept 
The Control Center has been designed to 
avoid the unnecessary complexity created 
by an extended number of switches and 
controls. It consists of the controller and

tions that will appear on the Control Dis-
play. In addition, it also shows you Check

Voice command
Voice command system
The concept
The voice command system allows you to 
control operation of various vehicle sys-
tems 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. In many cases, the voice command 
system supports you with announcements 
or questions while you are making your 
entries.
The voice command system transforms 
your oral commands and dialog answers 
into control signals for the selected sys-
tems.
Please take the time to acquaint your-
self with how a particular system 
operates before proceeding to control it 
using the voice command system.<

Speaking commands
Activating voice command system 
Briefly press the   button on the steering 
wheel.
A signal tone and "SVS active" in the Info 
Display, refer to page 26, indicate that the 
system is ready for use. You are automati-
cally in the main menu.
From here, you can call up all the equip-
ment that can be operated.

wheel

over to its telephone mode if you 
receive a call during voice command. "SVS 
off" appears in the Info Display, refer to 
page 26.<
Voice commands
The voice command system operates on 
the basis of specific, predefined com-
mands; these commands should be spo-
ken precisely as indicated. You can have 
the possible commands read back at any 
stage. To do so, say the command 
{Options}. 
In addition to the commands described, 
there are often other commands that run 
the same function. Instead of {Options}, 
you can, for example, also say 
{What now}. 
*
These sections contain information on 
using the voice command system.
{Cancel}.

certain functions directly with short com-
mands, refer to page 28, without having to 
open an equipment level.

Special commands 
Special commands are available for spe-
cific systems. In this Owner's Manual you will find these commands in the sections 
describing the individual systems.
Displays in the Info Display
The Info Display shows you what the voice 
command system has understood in line 2,
