Voice command

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 173.<
Environmental conditions
The voice command system uses a special
hands-free microphone located in the front
of your vehicle's headliner. Although the
system is designed to filter out ambient
noise, you can help ensure that your com-
mands 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 might be unable to register the
voices of other vehicle occupants prop-
erly.
The notebook
To record a 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:
Press the button for a long period.
When recording notes, the voice
command system does not respond
to the {Cancel} command. The text
checking function for command words is
deactivated in this case so that you can
speak any desired text for your notes. This
feature saves you from having to concen-
trate on avoiding these words while
recording.<

slow down as they approach the end
of their travel; this is to allow the safety fea-
ture to respond more precisely to any
obstructions encountered in this critical
range.<
Safety switch
With the safety switch, you can prevent the
rear windows from being opened or closed
via the switches in the rear passenger area,
by children, for example. The switch also
deactivates the rear-mounted switches
controlling the rear seats' power adjust-
ment, refer to page 47, and the rear
window sun blinds, refer to page 115. The
indicator lamp lights up when this safety
feature is activated.
Press the safety switch whenever
children are riding in the rear of the
vehicle. Careless use of the power win-
dows can lead to injury.<
The remote control unit must be
locked in position in the ignition lock
before this safety feature can be deacti-
vated.<
After installing accessories
After installing any accessory Ð such as a
clamp-on antenna for a portable phone Ð
within the window's travel range, you will
need to have the system reinitialized for
use under the new conditions. Please con-
tact your BMW center for assistance.

To prevent injuries, exercise care
when closing the sliding/tilt sunroof
and keep it in your field of vision until it is

with the remote control unit disen-
gaged.
The headliner insert slides back somewhat
when you raise the sunroof. When the sun-
roof is opened the headliner retracts with it.
Do not use force to close the head-
liner insert with the sunroof in its
raised position, as damage to the mecha-
nism could result.<

Safety notice
For your own safety
Your in-car phone makes life more conve-
nient in many ways, and can even save
lives in an emergency. While you should
consult your portable phone's separate
manual for a detailed description of safety
precautions and information, we request
that you direct your particular attention to
the following:
Adjustments
To avoid posing a danger to yourself
and other road users, never adjust the
system settings unless your vehicle is com-
pletely stationary.<
Using the phone in your vehicle
Using a hand-held portable phone to
make and receive calls while driving is
now illegal in virtually every country in the
world. Always use your hands-free system,
or stop your vehicle in an area where you
will not pose a safety hazard to other road
users.<
Vehicles and portable phones
Do not use your phone from within a
garage, or near an open hood. The air
in these areas could contain fuel vapors,
and the portable phone might generate
sparks that could result in burns.
This same precaution applies to open
luggage compartment lids on vehicles
equipped for operation using natural gas or
hydrogen, and to all vehicles with luggage
compartment-mounted batteries.<
Antenna
When using the phone, ensure that all
persons in the area are at least 20 in
(50 cm) from the antenna. Never use your
BMW portable phone if the antenna is dam-
aged. Contact between your skin and a damaged antenna can result in minor
burns.
If the antenna is damaged, have it replaced
immediately.<
Special environmental conditions
Always switch off your BMW portable
phone in areas where blasting work is
being conducted with explosives. The
phone signals could potentially act as a
high-frequency transmitter and set off
explosions.
Always switch off your BMW portable
phone in areas where an increased explo-
sion danger is present. This category
includes filling stations along with fuel and
chemical storage depots, etc., and all
areas in which the air can contain fuel,
chemicals or metal particles. Under these
conditions, your BMW portable phone
could conceivably generate sparks that
could lead to a fire or explosion. Always
observe all legal regulations governing the
use of portable phones in the vicinity of
filling stations, chemical factories and other
areas where an explosion potential exists.
Never use the BMW portable phone in air-
craft; do not use this portable phone in hos-
pitals, care centers or at other locations
where medical equipment may be in oper-
ation, such as accident sites, etc.
Your service provider can furnish you with
more detailed information on legal regula-
tions governing the use of your phone.<
Medical equipment
Portable phones can generate inter-
ference capable of preventing hearing
aids and cardiac pacemakers from oper-
ating correctly. If you or any occupant of
the vehicle will be using such equipment,
consult a physician or the manufacturer
of the equipment to determine whether
it is adequately shielded against high-
frequency energy.<
