Speech commands overview .......57General information
Embedded speech recognition
The speech recognition of the
Infotainment system enables you to operate various functions of the
Infotainment system via voice input. It
recognises commands and numeric
sequences independently of the
relevant speaker. The commands
and numeric sequences can be
spoken without a pause between the
individual words.
In the event of incorrect operation or commands, the speech recognition
gives visual and/or acoustic feedback
and requests you to re-enter the
desired command. Apart from this,
the speech recognition
acknowledges important commands
and will enquire if necessary.
In general, there are different ways to
speak commands for completing the
tasks. Most of them, except
destination entry and voice keypad,
can be completed in a single
command.If the action takes more than one command to be performed, proceed
as follows:
In the first command, you indicate the type of action to be performed, e.g.
"Navigation destination entry". The
system replies with prompts that lead
you through a dialogue for entering
the necessary information. For
example, if a destination for route
guidance is needed, say "Navigation" or "Destination entry".
Note
To ensure that conversations inside
the vehicle do not lead to
unintentional triggering of the
system functions, the speech
recognition does not start until it has
been activated.
Language support ● Not all languages available for the display of the Infotainment
system are also available for the
speech recognition.
● If the currently selected display language is not supported by thespeech recognition, speech
recognition is not available.

Speech recognition55Adjusting the volume of voice
prompts
Press w or ─ on the right side of the
steering wheel.
Interrupting a voice prompt
As an experienced user, you can
interrupt a voice prompt by briefly
pressing w on the steering wheel.
A beep is heard immediately, and a
command can be stated without
having to wait.
Cancelling a dialogue sequence
There are several possibilities to
cancel a dialogue sequence and to
deactivate the speech recognition:
● Say " Cancel" or "Exit".
● Press n on the right side of the
steering wheel.In the following situations a dialogue
sequence is automatically cancelled:
● If you do not say any commands for some time (by default you areprompted three times to say a
command).
● If you say commands that are not
recognised by the system (by
default you are prompted three
times to say a correct command).
Operation via speech commands
The speech recognition can
understand commands that are either naturally stated in sentence form, or
direct commands stating the
application and the task.
For best results: ● Listen for the voice prompt and wait for the beep before saying a
command or replying.
● Say " Help" if you want to listen
again to the help prompt for the
current dialogue step.● The voice prompt can be interrupted by pressing w again.
If you wish to directly speak your
command, press w twice.
● Wait for the beep and then speak
the command naturally. In most
cases, recognition rates will be
higher if pauses are kept to a
minimum. Use short and direct
commands.
Usually phone and audio commands
can be spoken in a single command. For example, "Call David Smith",
"Play" followed by the artist or song name, or "Tune to" followed by the
radio frequency and the waveband.
Navigation destinations, however,
are too complex for a single
command. First, state "Navigation"
and then, e.g. "Address" or "Point of
Interest". The system responds with a
request for more details.
After saying "Point of Interest", only
major chains may be selected by
name. Chains are businesses with at
least 20 locations. For other POIs,
say the name of a category, e.g.
"Restaurants", "Shopping centres", or
"Hospitals".
