Speech recognition57
In such a case you need to select
another language for the display if
you want to control the Infotainment system via voice input. Changing
the display language, see
"Language" in chapter "System
settings" 3 21.
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 need to
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
need to 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.For changing the display language, see "Language" in chapter "Systemsettings" 3 21.
Input order for destination addresses
The order in which the parts of an
address need to 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 your
smartphone manufacturer's user
guide 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 the w button on the right side of
the steering wheel.
The audio system mutes, the w
symbol 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.

58Speech recognition
After a dialogue sequence is finished,
the speech recognition is deactivated
automatically. To initiate another
dialogue sequence, you must activate the speech recognition again.
Adjusting the volume of voice
prompts
Press the w or ─ buttons 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 the w button 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 the n button 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 are
prompted 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 the w button
again. If you wish to directly speak
your command, press the w button
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 at
work", "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
requesting more details.
After saying "Point of Interest", only
major chains may be selected by
name. Chains are businesses with at
