Voice activation systemVehicle features and op‐
tions
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features that are not
necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐
tems. The respectively applicable country provi‐
sions must be observed when using the respec‐
tive features and systems.
The concept
▷Most functions displayed on the Control
Display can be operated by voice com‐
mands via the voice activation system. The
system supports you with announcements
during input.
▷Functions that can only be used when the
vehicle is stationary cannot be used via the
voice activation system.
▷The system uses a special microphone on
the driver's side.
▷›...‹ Verbal instructions in the Owner's
Manual to use with the voice activation sys‐
tem.
