Voice activation system
The concept
The voice activation system allows you to con-
trol operation of various vehicle systems with-
out ever removing your hands from the steering
wheel.
Individual menu items on the Control Display
can be spoken as commands. This frees you of
having to use the controller.
The voice activation system transforms your
oral commands into control signals for the
selected systems and provides support in the
form of instructions or questions.
The voice activation system uses a special
microphone located in th e area of the interior
rearview mirror, refer to page 14.
Precondition
Via iDrive, set the langua ge that applies for the
voice activation system in order to enable iden-
tification of the spoken commands. To set the
language of iDrive, refer to page 90.

Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system functions when the
driver's door is closed.
The system simultaneously engages and
releases the locks on the following:
> Doors
> Liftgate
> Fuel filler door
Operating from outside
>via the remote control
> via the door lock
> with comfort access
* via the door handles
The interior lamps and the courtesy lamps
* are
also switched on and off with the remote con-
trol. The alarm system
is armed/disarmed at the
same time.
You can find more detailed information on the
alarm system
on page 38.
Operating from inside
Via the button for centra l locking, refer to
page 32. The fuel filler door is not locked.
In an accident of sufficient severity, the central
locking system automati cally unlocks the vehi-
cle. In addition, the hazard warning flashers and
interior lamps come on.
Opening and closing:

parked vehicle can lock the doors from
the inside. Always take along the remote control
