The help window provides information in
addition to the audible instructions during
individualisation and when you are subse-
quently using voice control.
Individualisation Individualisation adapts LINGUATRONIC to
your voice, resulting in optimised voice rec-
ognition .This means that other users' voices
will not be recognised as easily, and therefore
this function can be switched off
(Y page 75).
Individualisation comprises two parts and
takes approximately five minutes. It consists
of training the system to recognise a certain
number of digit sequences and voice com-
mands.
Starting new individualisation
It is only possible to start individualisation
when the vehicle is stationary. Before start-
ing, switch off all devices or functions which
could interfere, such as the radio or the nav-
igation system. After commencing individual-
isation, the system guides you with spoken
instructions.

tion.

whether you would like further information.
X Select YesorNo.
If you select No, the first part of the voice
training begins. You will be asked whether you would like to train digits or voice com-
mands.
After selecting
Yes, you see an information
display and hear information regarding the
individualisation process. The first part of
individualisation then begins automati-
cally.

Safety notes
G
Risk of accident
For safety reasons, only enter a new destina-
tion when the vehicle is stationary. You may
otherwise be distracted from the traffic con-
ditions, cause an accident and injure yourself
and others.
COMAND calculates the route to the destina-
tion without taking account of the following,
for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and give way signs
R parking or stopping restrictions
R lane narrowing
R other road and traffic rules and regulations
COMAND may give incorrect driving recom-
mendations if the data on the digital map does
not correspond to the actual conditions. For
example, a route may have been diverted or
the direction of a one-way street may have
changed.
For this reason, you must always observe the
respective road and traffic rules and regula-
tions during your journey. Road and traffic
rules and regulations always have priority
over system driving recommendations. 78
