Speech commands overview .......57General 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.

54Speech recognitionIn such a case you must selectanother 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 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.For changing 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.

Frequently asked questions71Frequently asked
questionsFrequently asked questions .........71Frequently asked
questions
Speech recognition? The speech recognition function
does not work very well. How can
I improve its performance?
! Wait for the beep and then try to
speak the command naturally.
Avoid long pauses, use little
accentuation and speak at a
moderate volume.
Detailed description 3 54.? The voice prompts given out by the
speech recognition system are too long. How can I interrupt them to
directly speak a command?
! To interrupt the voice prompt of the
speech recognition system, press
w on the steering wheel. Wait for
the beep and then speak your
command.
Detailed description 3 54.? I cannot select a phone contact via
speech recognition. What am I
doing wrong?
! The Infotainment system
accesses the phone book entries
as they are stored. If the sorting
order is set to "last name, first
name", the correct command for
calling John Smith is "Smith,
John".
Detailed description 3 53.? I cannot enter an address located
in another country via speech
recognition. What am I doing
wrong?
! Via speech recognition, you can
only enter addresses for
destinations located in the country
whose language is selected as
system language, e.g. if the
system is set to German, you
cannot enter a destination located
in France.
