Notices
Do not use the voice command
system to make emergency SOS
calls. Your voice and habitual tone could be
affected by stressful situations, as a result
of which the process of establishing the
telephone connection could be unneces-
sarily delayed. Instead, you should use the
emergency SOS button located adjacent to
the rearview mirror, refer to page 173.<
Environmental conditions
The voice command system uses a special
hands-free microphone located in the front
of your vehicle's headliner. Although the
system is designed to filter out ambient
noise, you can help ensure that your com-
mands will be understood by observing the
following instructions:
> Speak smoothly and clearly, at a normal
volume. Do not place any unusual
stress on individual syllables, and avoid
pauses
> Do not speak while the voice command
system is talking
> Keep the doors, windows and sunroof
closed to prevent interference from
ambient noise
> Avoid other sources of noise in the
vehicle while speaking, and ask other
vehicle occupants to refrain from
talking while you are using the system
> The hands-free microphone is aimed
toward the driver. This means that the
system might be unable to register the
voices of other vehicle occupants prop-
erly.
The notebook
To record a note
You can store approx. ten minutes of
spoken text – either as a single entry or as
multiple entries of any desired length.
To terminate recording:
Press the button for a long period.
When recording notes, the voice
command system does not respond
to the {Cancel} command. The text
checking function for command words is
deactivated in this case so that you can
speak any desired text for your notes. This
feature saves you from having to concen-
trate on avoiding these words while
recording.<
