The concept
You can operate your portable phone with-
out having to remove your hands from the

wheel
or
In dialogs where text of any kind can be
spoken, e.g. a name, canceling is only pos-
sible using the button. Voice control dia-
log is automatically interrupted when an

Voice commands
In addition to the commands described in
this Owner's Manual, alternative com-
mands are often possible for the same
functions, e.g.:
Digits from zero to nine are understood.
You can say each digit individually or group
them into a sequence of three to five digits
to speed up the process.
{...} Identifies voice commands.
{{...}} Identifies instructions generated
by the system.
