General information
The Voice Control System gives you the
capability to control the following systems on
your vehicle using spoken commands:
R
Telephone (Y page 259)
R
Navigation (Y page 252)
R
Address book (Y page 264)
R
Audio (Y page 267) (AM/FM radio, CD/
DVD changer, MP3 player)
You control these systems using spoken
commands. Moreover, controls such as the
buttons on the multifunction steering wheel
(Y page 250) allow you to keep your hands
on the steering wheel.
The command vocabulary consists of
approximately 300 ready-to-use phrases. The
Voice Control System recognizes commands
and number sequences, irrespective of the
speaker. To optimize speech recognition for
your voice follow the individualization
process (Y page 287).
You can use the Voice Control System to call
up all of COMAND’s main menu items, with
the exception of the main menus for “Vehicle”
and “Navi”.
The commands and digit sequences can be
spoken without pausing between the
individual words. If an unavailable or incorrect
command is used, the Voice Control System
will prompt you for a new command by asking
“Please repeat” or “Please repeat your entry”.
In order to provide for a safe and comfortable
dialog, the Voice Control System
acknowledges important commands.
