Telephone speech control system 164
Name tags
Applies to vehicles: with telephone speech control system
Introduction
Name tags are stored in the phone book for the speech
control system.
General notes
The phone book for the speech control system has 50 memory posi-
tions. You can use it independently of the mobile phone. The name
tags are stored in the phone book for the speech control system.
In the phone book for the speech control system you can assign
recorded names (name tags) to entries stored in the phone book of
the on-board phone system (car telephone kit* or phone pre-instal-
lation*). You can also store new entries with recorded names and
telephone numbers in the phone book for the speech control
system
page 165. These entries are stored separately from the
entries in the on-board phone book (car telephone kit* or phone pre-
installation*).
Once you have stored name tags in the phone book for the speech
control system, you can select them via the speech control system.
Entering
You should choose spoken names that can be identified clearly by
the speech control system.
Numbers from ZERO to NINE are recognised when you enter a tele-
phone number. The telephone number can be specified all at once,
in blocks of digits (separated by a brief pause), or as single digits.
After each block of digits you specify (separated by a brief pause)
the system will repeat the digits. The system can only recognise
single digits (TWO, THREE, etc.), and not combinations of digits (e.g.
twenty-three).
If the telephone number has more than 20 digits, the system will
decline and give the cue . A Plus (+) can
also be placed ahead of the 20 digits.

Speech dialogue system169
MMI componentsMMI control consoleMulti-function steering wheelTelephone handsetVoice control
Speech dialogue system
Applies to vehicles: with multi-function steering wheel and speech dialogue system
Introduction
You can operate many functions of the MMI quickly and
easily with the speech dialogue system.
Using the speech dialogue system you can conveniently switch
between the various modes, e.g. from radio to CD mode. You can
also access various functions on the radio, the CD changer, the tele-
phone* or the directory by saying commands or calling up previ-
ously stored name tags
page 172. In addition, you can select navi-
gation* destinations and have the system guide you to them, call up
the map display and change the map scale
page 178.
If you do not know a command, no problem! If the speech dialogue
system is activated, simply say HELP. The system will transmit the
commands you can currently say or will help you with a cue

page 171.
The speech dialogue system recognises commands and spoken
numbers regardless of the speaker.
How to help the system understand you
•Speak clearly in a normal volume. Speak louder if you are driving
fast.
•Speak in a normal tone without long pauses.
•Avoid talking while the speech dialogue system is giving a cue.
•Close doors, windows and sun roof* to reduce background
noise. Make sure that passengers are not talking when you say a
command.
•Keep the air outlets of the air distribution system pointed away
from the microphone, which is fitted in the vicinity of the front inte-
rior lights.
•The system should only be operated by the driver, since the
hands-free microphone is directed towards the driver.Unrecognised speech commands
The system acknowledges your commands with a tone signal. If the
system does not recognise a speech command, it will answer with
and request you to repeat the command. After a third
failed attempt the system will answer with and the
dialogue will be ended.
WARNING
•Please direct your full attention to the road at all times! As the
driver, you have full responsibility for the safety of the vehicle and
other road users. For this reason, you should only use the func-
tions in a manner that allows you to maintain control of the
vehicle in all situations - accident risk!
•The speech control system must not be used in cases of emer-
gency, since the voice changes in stressful situations. This could
result in a failed or delayed telephone connection. Always dial
emergency numbers manually!
