12Operation
Operation via voice control
Introduction
The voice control system can be activated with the “Push to
talk” or “PTT” button .
Thanks to the voice control you can use many telephone functions without
having to take your eyes off the road or your hands off the steering wheel.
Dialogue is the time during which the voice control system transmits mes-
sages and can receive spoken orders (commands).
If a call is received, then the dialogue is immediately interrupted.
You can use the HELP in any part of the menu. If you have any doubts or
cannot decide the Command to use, the system will provide you with the
available options.
You can CANCEL in any part of the menu. 
Basic functions available with the voice controls
Volume adjustment
You can change the sound volume at any time with the radio button or with
the buttons on the multi-function control.
The volume transmitted by the speaker depends, among other aspects, on
the volume transmitted by the mobile. If the volume of the mobile is low, or
on silent, it is possible that no sound will be heard through the car speaker.
Set the volume of your Bluetooth device to the maximum.
Do not leave headphones connected to the Bluetooth device when you wish
to use the hands-free system. Complying with these requirements, if the speaker volume is very high, ad-
just it using the controls on the steering wheel or the volume control on the
radio.
Voice control connection (Dialogue)
You can start the dialogue at any time by briefly pressing the PTT button

on the multi-function control.
If the system does not recognise your command, there is a first help option
which allows a new input. After a second failed try the system repeats the
second part of the help. After a third failure the system will answer with
“Operation cancelled” and the dialogue will be ended.
Disconnection of the voice control (Dialogue)
You can end the dialogue at any time by briefly pressing the PTT button 
on the multi-function control. If the system is waiting for a command, you
can end the dialogue with the “CANCEL” command.
Interruption of the current message
By pressing the PTT button  during the message, only the current mes-
sage is ended and it is possible to give another command. 
Correct use of the voice controlNote the following to ensure that you are properly understood:
● Speak in a normal tone and without pauses or exaggerated pronuncia-
tion.
● Avoid poor articulation of words.
● Keep the doors, windows and sliding sun roof closed if possible to avoid
background noises that might affect the system.
● Keep the air vents directed away from the microphone (located on the
interior light). 

13
Operation
● At high speeds, you might need to speak louder to drown out back-
ground noises.
● Avoid other noises in the vehicle during a dialogue (e.g. other vehicle
occupants speaking in the vehicle).
● Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue.
● The hands-free microphone is directed towards the driver, therefore, on-
ly the driver should try to operate the system.
● To make a call when there is heavy background noise we recommend us-
ing the speech controlled telephone book instead of speaking individual
digits. This will help avoid mistakes when specifying telephone numbers. 
Voice control orders (commands)
The voice control can be used in the following languages: Spanish, Mexican Spanish, German, English, US English, French, Canadian
French, Italian, Portuguese, Czech, Russian and Dutch.

Depending on the configuration of the system of the country, this command can be inver-

b) Because of the different pronunciations of each language, some of the names may not be
read as you expected. Because of this you can record up to 15 contacts with your own
voice.
c) It is advised to restore the default settings upon selling your vehicle in order to delete per-
sonal details such as PIN, contacts, calls..., and restore settings.
DIAL NUMBER command
After saying the DIAL NUMBER command the system asks you to enter a tel-
ephone number. The telephone number can be entered as a sequence of
digits pronounced coherently (complete number), in series of digits (sepa-
rated by a brief pause) or in digits pronounced separately. After each series
of digits (separated by a brief pause) the digits recognised until then are re-
peated. 

14Operation
Digits 0 - 9 and symbols +, , # are allowed. The system does not recog-
nise coherent numeric combinations such as twenty-three, only individual
digits (two, three). 
Additional information
Voice control is available in different languages: Spanish, Mexican Spanish, German, English, US English, French, Canadian
French, Italian, Portuguese, Czech, Russian and Dutch.
The user can change the language in the instrument panel using the multi-
function steering wheel ⇒ Booklet Instruction manual.
The languages available in each vehicle depend on the destination of the
vehicle.
Dialogue options
The voice control has the short dialogue and long dialogue options. The de-
fault setting is the long dialogue. The short dialogue is recommended when

The long dialogue offers more tips and information about the voice control
procedure. It can be changed via voice control ⇒ page 13. Instrument panel display
