Speech commands overview .......56General 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".
Notice
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 recognition53In such a case you must selectanother language for the displayif you want to control the
Infotainment system via voice input. Changing the display
language, see "Language" in
chapter "System settings" 3 20.
Address input for destinations in
foreign countries
In case you want to enter the address
of a destination located in a foreign
country via voice input, you must
change the language of the
Infotainment display to the language
of the foreign country.
E.g. if the display is currently set to English and you want to enter the
name of a city located in France, you
must change the display language to
French.
Exceptions: If you want to enter
addresses in Belgium, you may
optionally change the display
language to French or Dutch. For
addresses in Switzerland you may
optionally change the display
language to French, German, or
Italian.To change the display language, see
"Language" in chapter "System
settings" 3 20.
Input order for destination addresses
The order in which the parts of an
address must be entered using the
speech recognition system is
dependent on the country where the
destination is located.
An example for the respective input
order is given out by the system.
Voice pass-thru application
The voice pass-thru application of the Infotainment system allows access tothe speech recognition commands on
your smartphone. See operating
instructions for your smartphone to
find out whether your smartphone
supports this feature.Usage
Embedded speech recognition Activating speech recognition Notice
Speech recognition is not available
during an active phone call.
Press w on the right side of the
steering wheel.
The audio system mutes, w on the
display is highlighted, and a voice output message prompts you to say a
command.
As soon as the speech recognition is ready for voice input, a beep is heard.
You can now say a voice command to
directly initiate a system function (e.g. playing a radio station), or to start a
dialogue sequence with several
dialogue steps (e.g. entering a
destination address), see "Operation via speech commands" further below.
After a dialogue sequence is finished,
the speech recognition is deactivated
automatically. To initiate another
dialogue sequence, you must activate the speech recognition again.

Speech recognition55Direct commands are easier
understood by the system, e.g. "Call
01234567".
If you say "Phone", the system
understands that a phone call is
requested and responds with relevant
questions until enough details are
gathered. If the phone number has
been saved with a name and a place, the direct command should includeboth, for example "Call David Smith at
work".
Notice
Say the name of the person you
want to call in the sorting order used in the phone book: "David Smith" or
"Smith, David".Selecting list items
When a list is displayed, a voice
prompt asks to confirm or select an
item from that list. A list item may be
manually selected, or by speaking the
line number of the item.
The list on a speech recognition
screen functions the same as a list on
other screens. Manually scrolling the
list on a screen during a speech
recognition session suspends the
current speech recognition event andplays a prompt like "Make your
selection from the list using the
manual controls, or press BACK on
the faceplate to try again".
If no manual selection is made within
