6Basic functions
The speech control system can be activated via the “Talk”
button on the phone adapter or the button on the multi-func-
tion wheel.
Talk button
The voice control system may be activated using th e buttons “Talk” on the
phone adapter ⇒fig. 1 and on the multi-fu nction steering wheel ⇒fig. 2 .
If one of these buttons is pressed while using the sp eech control system, the
function is cancelled.
After pushing the “Talk” button, wait some seconds f or the sound signal
after which the vocal commands may be used. These c ommands may be used
to manage the functions of the hands-free telephone sy stem as well as the
phone book.
Phone book
The speech control system offers the option of creating and using an phone
book belonging to the vehicle system and independent of the mobile tele-
phone. This phone book may contain 50 entries.
Also, in the moment that a connection is made between t he telephone and
the hands-free system (if a compatible adapter or Bluet ooth adapter is avail-
able), the numbers stored in the telephone SIM card are downloaded by the
hands-free system and can be displayed on the vehicle instrument panel.
These numbers may be selected using the multi-fu nction lever, allowing calls
to be made by this or by the multi-function wheel.
WARNING

•
The speech system must not be used in cases of emergency, since the
