tem contains an extensive help function.
The help function gives you:
General hints on how to best use the
Voice Control System
A listing of all available commands
Help commands
“Help voice control”
Using the command “Help voice control”
will give you information on how to best
use the Voice Control System.
“Help”
In a main menu, help can be accessed at
any time by saying the command “Help”.
The Voice Control System will then read
out the available functions and commands
of all systems.In a submenu, help can also be accessed at
any time by saying the command “Help”.
The Voice Control System will then read
out an option list of all available functions
and commands available in the particular
submenu.
You can also use the help function to ac-
cess help for a specific system. To access
help for the phone operation, you would
speak the command “Help Telephone”.
If you wish to hear the last command read
out:
Press!.
Help window
You can use the help window to view a se-
lection of valid commands on the
COMAND display.
The help functions can be switched on or
off via COMAND in the “System settings”
menu (
page 215).
Entering digits and spelling
Entering digits
Digits from “Zero” to “Nine” may be
used.
Speaking phone numbers in digit
blocks of 3 to 5 digits has proven a
very reliable method for the input of
phone numbers.
Spelling
The letters of the English alphabet and
the digits 0 - 9 may be used.
Speak the letters in blocks of 5 - 7 let-
ters at a time.
Speak each individual letter clearly.

Problem
Possible cause/consequence
Suggested solution
Voice Control System does not recognize
commands.
You have not operated the system from the
driver’s seat.
Operate the Voice Control System only
by the driver as the microphone is
geared to the driver side.
You have spoken unclearly, too loudly or
too quietly.
Speak the commands in a continuous
manner using a normal tone.
A blower is set to the highest setting or
wind noise is being created through open
windows.
Avoid loud disturbances.
Voice Control System does not recognize a
address book entry.
The voice entries in the address book sound
too similar.
When you create your address book en-
tries, select names with the greatest
possible acoustic differences: If for ex-
ample you have the names Smith and
Schmidt, choose for example “Smith
work” or “Schmidt John”.
Speak the command “List phone book”.
The system reads out the address book
entry by entry.
Press! when the desired entry is
being read out.
The entry is selected and the corre-
sponding number is dialed
(page 268).

308 Controls in detailLocking and unlockingImportant notes on using KEYLESS-GO
You can also use the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO like a normal SmartKey
(page 304).
The starter switch is under the
KEYLESS-GO button. Pull the
KEYLESS-GO button out in order to ac-
cess the starter switch.
You can combine KEYLESS-GO func-
tions with normal SmartKey functions
(e.g. unlocking with KEYLESS-GO and
locking with button ‹).
Always carry the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO with you.
Never store the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO together with:
Electronic items such as a mobile
phone or another SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO
Metallic objects such as coins or
metal foil
Doing so could impair the function of
the KEYLESS-GO system.
To lock or unlock the vehicle, the
SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO must be
located outside the vehicle within ap-
proximately 3 ft. (1 m) of a door or the
trunk lid.
In order to start the engine with the
SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO:
The SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO
must be located in the vehicle.
The brake pedal must be firmly de-
pressed. Do not depress the accel-
erator.
If the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO is
positioned farther away from the vehi-
cle, the system may no longer recog-
nize the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO.
The vehicle then cannot be locked or
the engine started via the KEYLESS-GO
system.
If the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO is re-
moved from the vehicle (e.g. if passen-
ger exits the vehicle with the SmartKey
with KEYLESS-GO)
when pressing the KEYLESS-GO
start/stop button or trying to lock
the vehicle with the outside door
handle the message “Key not recog-
nized” appears in the multifunction
display
with the engine running, the mes-
sage “Key not recognized” appears
in the multifunction display while
driving off.
Find the SmartKey or change its
present location immediately
(e.g. place it on the front passenger
seat or insert it in shirt pocket).
If you have started the engine with the
KEYLESS-GO start/stop button
(page 317), you can turn it off again
with:
the KEYLESS-GO start/stop button
the SmartKey inserted in the starter
switch, when the automatic trans-
mission is in positionP
