Dialogue
The speech control system can be activated via the “Talk”
button on the phone adapter or the button on the multi-func-
tion wheel.
In this manual, Dialogue is defined as the time in which the speech control
system may receive vocal commands and provide assistance for completion
of different functions in case the user is hesitant and unsure how to proceed.
The system also responds by vocal messages. The dialogue is activated and
deactivated by pressing the “talk button” .
If a call is received then the dialogue is interrupted immediately. The call may
be accepted by pressing the key “answer” on the multi -function steering
wheel.
Assistance from the system
If a command is not recognised by the system, it will answer with the cue
and the command can then be given once again clearly. After a
third failure the system will answer with and the dialogue will be
ended. Note the following to ensure that you are properly understood:
•Speak in a normal tone and without pauses or exaggerated pronuncia-
tion.
•Avoid poor articulation of words.
•Keep the doors, windows and sun roof closed if possible to avoid back-
ground noises that might affect the system.
•Keep the air vents directed away from the microphone (located on the
interior light).
•At high speeds, you might need to speak louder to drown out background
noises.
•Avoid other noises in the vehicle during a dialogue (e.g. other passengers
speaking in the vehicle).
•Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue.
•The hands-free microphone is directed towards the driver, therefore, only
the driver should try to operate the system.
•To make a call when there is heavy background noise we recommend
using the speech controlled telephone book instead of speaking individual
digits. This will help avoid mistakes when specifying telephone numbers.
Controlling the hands-free unit by voice
The hands-free functions are also operated via voice commands.
Help commands
The system confirms acceptance of speech commands verbally and guides
you through the dialogue if necessary.
