Voice activation 1
General information
This Handbook describes every option and model variant
available and therefore, some of the items covered may not
apply to your particular vehicle.
Introduction
Voice activation provides a safe and convenient way of
controlling the following vehicle systems (where fitted):
• Sound system (radio, cassette tape player and CD changer)
• In-car telephone
• Climate control system
•Navigation
•Display screen
The system is controlled by the Voice button on the top
left-hand side of the steering wheel. Voice commands are
picked up by the microphone in the overhead console; this
microphone is used for voice activation and for the in-car
telephone. When giving a command, voice feedback will be
heard through the sound system speakers, and messages will be
shown on the instrument cluster message centre, sound system
panel, phone handset, climate control panel, or display screen.
For on-line help on using the system press and release the voice
button, then after the beep give the voice command HELP.
Commands can be personalised using nametags, which allow a
name or phrase to be used to dial a phone number, tune to a
radio station or select a navigation destination.
Voice feedback can be turned off if required.
!
WARNING:
Concentrate on the current road conditions and driving
the vehicle at all times. If the voice system does prompt
you for a response it will repeat that prompt twice giving
you up to 15 seconds to respond. If driving conditions
mean that you are unable to respond, the voice system
will timeout, cancel the task and will not make any
changes to the vehicle settings.
Language and accent
Commands are given in English using a natural speaking voice,
without pausing between words. Most accents are understood
without difficulty, but the system also allows you to train the
voice system with your voice if required, see Voice training on
page 30.
