112Speech recognitionSpeech recognitionGeneral information...................112
Phone control ............................ 113General information
The speech recognition of the
Infotainment system enables you to operate the phone portal via voice
input. It recognises commands and
numeric sequences independently of
the current speaker. The commands
and numeric sequences can be
spoken without a voice pause
between the individual words.
You can save telephone numbers
assigning a name of your choice
(voice tag). Using these names, you
can later set up a telephone
connection.
In the event of incorrect operation or
commands, the speech recognition
gives you 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.
To ensure that conversations inside
the vehicle do not lead to
unintentional triggering of system
functions, the speech recognition
does not start until it has been
activated.Important notes on language
support
● Not all languages available for the display of the Infotainment
system are also available for the
speech recognition.
● If the currently selected language
for the display is not supported by the speech recognition, you must enter the voice commands in
English.
To be able to enter voice
commands in English, you must
first activate the phone main
menu by pressing PHONE on the
Infotainment system, and then
activate the speech recognition
of the phone portal by pressing
w on the steering wheel.

deactivating the speech recognition
and cancelling the dialogue:
● Press x on the steering wheel.
● Say " Cancel".
● Do not enter (say) any commands for some time.
● After the third unrecognised command.Operation
With the aid of the speech recognition the mobile phone can be operated
very conveniently via voice input. It is
sufficient to activate the speech
recognition and to enter (say) the
desired command. After input of the
command the Infotainment system
guides you through the dialogue with
appropriate questions and feedback
to achieve the desired action.

After activation of the speech
recognition a short tone signals that
the speech recognition is expecting
input.

spoken in your normal voice without
any artificial pauses between the
individual numbers.

114Speech recognitionRecognition works best if a pause of

situations can occur.
Bluetooth
The Phone portal is certified by the
Bluetooth Special Interest Group
(SIG).
You will find further information about the specification on the Internet at
http://www.bluetooth.com
Operating the speech recognition
Do not use the speech recognition in
emergencies, because in stress
situations your voice can change so
much that it can no longer be
recognised sufficiently to set up the
desired connection quickly enough.
Bluetooth connection

wireless connection of, e.g., a
telephone with other devices.
Information such as a telephone
book, call lists, the network operator's
name and field strength can be
transferred. The functionality can be
restricted depending on the
telephone type.
To be able to set up a Bluetooth

Installation instructions and
operating guidelines
The vehicle specific installation
instructions and the operating
guidelines of the mobile phone and
handsfree manufacturer must be observed when installing and
operating a mobile telephone. Failure to do so could invalidate the vehicle
type approval (EU directive 95/54/
EC).Recommendations for fault-free
operation:
● The exterior antenna needs to be
professionally installed to obtain the maximum range possible.
● Maximum transmission power: 10 watts.
● The mobile phone needs to be installed in a suitable spot.
Consider relevant note in the
Owner's manual, section Airbag
system .
Seek advice on predetermined
installation points for the external
antenna or equipment holder and
ways of using devices with a
transmission power exceeding
10 watts.
Use of a handsfree attachment
without external antenna with mobile
telephone standards
GSM 900/1800/1900 and UMTS is
only permitted if the maximum
transmission power of the mobile telephone is 2 watts for GSM 900 or
1 watt for the other types.
