350 Control systemsVoice Control individualizationThe individualization is used to adapt the
Voice Control System to your own voice
and to therefore improve speech recogni-
tion. This does not affect the speech rec-
ognition of other users.Individualization consists of two stages:


Digits


Commands
You can activate individualization in the
COMAND system settings (
page 257).
A dialog and screen displays will guide you
through the individualization process.
The system can be reset to the factory set-
tings at any time.
i
The individualization can only be performed
when the vehicle is stationary.
If you drive off, the individualization will be can-
celed.
After starting the session, the system will guide
you through the individualization by means of
acoustic instructions.
i
You may wish to complete only a portion of
the individualization process.
Completing the digits portion alone may result in
an improved recognition rate.
Individualization can be exited at any time. The
data trained, however, will only be retained if a
given individualization portion is completed and
the data is stored when prompted to do so by the
system.
