Dialogue
The voice command system can be activated with the “press
to talk” button, located on the multi-function control.
In this manual, Dialogue is defined as the time in which the voice command
system may receive vocal commands and provide assistance for the comple-
tion of different functions where the user is hesitant and unsure how to
proceed. The system also responds with vocal messages. The dialogue starts
and is stopped by pressing the “press to talk” button Ÿpage 23, fig. 11
or on the radio display.
If a call is received, then the dialogue is immediately interrupted. The call may
be accepted by pressing the key “answer” on the multi-function control.
Assistance from voice control system when commands are not recognised.
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. Please 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 saying individual
digits. This will help avoid mistakes when specifying telephone numbers.
Micro off
If, at any time, we do not wish to be heard by the person on the other end of
the line during a call, the vehicle microphone can be temporarily discon-
nected. To do so, press the multi-function button on the radio (see Radio
manual) during the call.
To reactivate the micro, press the multi-function button on the radio again
(see Radio manual).Fig. 15 Current phone
