Voice command system

Voice command system
The concept
The voice command system allows you to con-
trol operation of various vehicle systems with-
out ever removing your hands from the steering
wheel. The system operates on the basis of
voice commands that you will learn easily after
using them a few times. In many cases, the
voice command system assists you with
announcements or questions while you are
making your entries.
The voice command system transforms your
oral commands and dialog answers into control
signals for the selected systems.
Please take the time to acquaint yourself
with how a particular system operates
before proceeding to control it using the voice
command system.<
Note
Use iDrive to set the language that will be used
so that the voice command system will be able
to identify the commands to be spoken. Setting
the language of iDrive, refer to page84.
Symbols used
{...} Verbal instructions to use with the voice
command system.
{{...}} Identifies the answers generated by the
voice command system.

Voice commands

basis of specific, predefined commands; these
commands should be spoken precisely as indi-
cated. You can have the possible commands
read aloud at any point. To do so, say the com-
mand {Options}.
In addition to the commands described, there
are often other commands that run the same
function. Instead of {Options}, you can, for

Key Memory
The concept
You can set a number of functions of your BMW
individually according to your preferences. Key
Memory ensures that most of these settings are
stored for the remote control currently in use
without you having to do anything. When the
vehicle is unlocked, the corresponding remote
control is detected and the settings stored for it
are called up and carried out.
This means that your BMW will return to your
personal settings even if it has in the meantime
been driven by another person with his/her own
remote control and settings. The individual set-
tings are stored for a maximum of four remote
controls.

tion whenever the driver's door is closed. This
