Voice Control introduction
250
Spelling
You may not need to spell the entire name
(street, intersection, city or point of interest)
especially if the name is lengthy. Spelling the
first three to five characters of the name
should be sufficient for the system to
recognize the name provided it is available on
the navigation DVD.
The selection appearing on the COMAND
display is sorted based on your recognized
voice input and a matching algorithm. You
can use the commands “Next page” or
“Previous page” to scroll up or down in the
list.
Use the command “Correction” to start over
by again spelling the name.
Speak each character as clearly as you can,
especially when they sound very similar (d or
e).
Command types
The Voice Control System commands can be
categorized as:
R
General Commands
These are commands always available to
you as soon as the Voice Control System is
activated (for example “Help” commands).
R
Local Commands
These are commands specific to the
currently active system shown in the
COMAND display (for example commands

i
