Voice command system
The concept
The voice command system allows you to con-
trol operation of various vehicle systems with-
out ever removing your hands from the steering
wheel. The system operates on the basis of
voice commands that you will learn easily after
using them a few times. In many cases, the
voice command system assists 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 systems.
Please take the time to acquaint yourself
with how a particular system operates
before proceeding to control it using the voice
command system.<
Note
Use iDrive to set the language that will be used
so that the voice command system will be able
to identify the commands to be spoken. Setting
the language of iDrive, refer to page84.
Symbols used
{...} Verbal instructions to use with the voice
command system.
{{...}} Identifies the answers generated by the
voice command system.

Voice commands
Voice command system activation

Briefly press the button on the steering
wheel

the button.
The system automatically switches over

during voice input. "SVS active" appears on the
Info Display, refer to page25.<
Voice commands
The voice command system operates on the
basis of specific, predefined commands; these
commands should be spoken precisely as indi-
cated. You can have the possible commands
read aloud at any point. To do so, say the com-
mand {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}. In addition,
