Voice command system
22
Notes
Do not use the voice command sys-
tem in emergency situations. In stress 
situations, voice and pitch can change.<
The portable phone can also be oper-
ated by voice control, refer to 
page 151.<
For voice commands, bear the following in 
mind:
>Issue the commands fluently and at 
normal volume, avoiding excessive 
emphasis and pauses
>Always speak commands with the pro-
nunciation of the voice command sys-
tem, as otherwise, for example, foreign 
radio stations will not be understood
>For entries in the voice-activated phone 
book, only use names in the language 
of the voice command system and no 
abbreviations
>Keep the doors, windows and glass 
roof or convertible top closed to pre-
vent interference from ambient noise
>Avoid other sources of noise in the 
vehicle while speaking, and ask other 
vehicle occupants to refrain from talk-
ing while you are using the system.
