Voice Control
Voice control 18
allows you to control func-
tions in the vehicle, e.g. the climate control system, radio or a Bluetooth-connectedphone, using spoken commands. In vehicles equipped with Sensus Navigation *, the navi-
gation system can also be controlled using voice commands.
What is voice control?Voice control is a driver support function that can simplify the use of various commands inyour vehicle. It works in general like a regularapplication in which you input information in aset order in order to perform a task, butinstead of typing on a keypad, you use voicecommands. It can therefore be a good idea tofamiliarize yourself with how, and in whatorder, a voice command should be spoken toget the desired result. You can control certain infotainment and cli- mate control functions through the voice con-trol system by using voice commands. Thesystem can respond verbally and by displayinginformation in the instrument panel.
WARNING
The driver is always responsible for ensur- ing that the vehicle is operated in a safemanner and that all applicable traffic regu-lations are followed.

Use voice recognition
Starting voice control 19Voice commands are given through a "dialog" with thevoice control system. Pressthe button for voice control
on the right-side steering
wheel keypad to activate the system and initiate a voice
command dialog. When you press the button,a beep will sound and the voice control sym-bol will appear in the instrument panel. This shows that the system has begun listen- ing and you can now begin speaking com-mands. As soon as you start speaking, thesystem will be trained to recognize and under-stand your voice. This takes several secondsand is done automatically, which means thatyou don't need to manually initiate any voicetraining.
These may include: Wait until after the tone, and then speak in your normal voice at a normal speed.
Do not speak while the system is respond-ing (the system is unable to process com-mands during this time).
Avoid background noises in the passengercompartment by keeping doors, windows and the panoramic roof
* closed.
Generally, the system will listen for a basic command that is then followed by moredetailed commands specifying what you wantthe system to do. To change the audio volume of the system, turn the volume knob while the voice is speak-ing. It is possible to use other buttons whilevoice commands are being given. However,because other audio is silenced during dialogwith the system, it is not possible to performany functions connected to audio using thebuttons.
Canceling voice controlTo cancel voice control, do one of the follow-ing:
Briefly press
and say "Cancel".
Press and hold the steering wheel key- pad's voice command button
until
two audible signals are given. This cancels voice control even when the system isspeaking.
