Helpful hints for voice
commands ■ The vehicle's microphone is intended for use by the driver. The
microphone is correctly positioned
and directed for this purpose, so
that you do not need to alter your
normal driving position for your
voice commands to be recognised
by the system.
If you speak too far from the
vehicle's microphone, e.g., if you
are sitting in the rear seats, the
system may not recognise your
voice command.
■ Background noise and loud external noises can also causevoice commands to be
misunderstood. It may be
necessary to close all windows and
sunroof, switch off the air
conditioning and request that
passengers do not speak whilst you
deliver your voice command.
■ After activating the Voice recognition system, always wait forthe audible signal before speaking,otherwise the system will only
register part of the voice command
and will not recognise it.
■ If the system does not recognise the voice command, a messageasks you to repeat it. If the voice
command is still not recognised,
the list of recorded voice
commands is played back. Repeat
the desired voice command when it is played back.
In the event the system still does
not recognise the voice command,
the Voice recognition system is
automatically deactivated.
■ If no voice command is given within
a few seconds of activating Voice
recognition, the system will
automatically deactivate.
Important notes on language
support ■ Voice commands are programmed to be recognised by the system in a
particular language. However, the
system does not need to identify aunique voice, therefore voice
commands can be recognised
regardless of the person speaking.
■ The system is able to recognise voice commands in different
languages, but will only recognise
voice commands based on the
language currently set.
■ Languages selectable for the Voice
recognition system include:
English, German, French, Italian,
Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch,
Polish and Turkish.
To change the language of the
Handsfree system (including Voice
recognition), refer to the vehicle
Owner's Manual or consult your
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

The Handsfree phone system, based on Windows Mobile technology, is a
personal telematic system which
allows the use of communication and
entertainment devices, specially
designed for use in vehicles.
The system provides you with the
possibility of having mobile phone
conversations via the vehicle's
microphone and loudspeakers, as
well as operating the most important
mobile phone functions via the
steering wheel control buttons or by
voice interaction with the Infotainment
system.
To be able to use the Handsfree
phone system, the mobile phone
must be connected to the system via Bluetooth 3 51.
Notice
Not all Handsfree phone system
functions are supported by every
mobile phone. The possible phone
functions depend on the relevant
mobile phone and network provider.Refer to the operating instructions in
your mobile phone handbook or
consult your network provider.
