10(incoming call while another call is being taken). When the second call is 
received, the information on the dash panel will be updated to indicate “Call 
waiting” and the identity of the person/number calling. Use buttons  ,   
and   on the steering wheel controls to select “Replace” to disconnect the 
first conversation and start a conversation with the second incoming caller 
(the call waiting) or “Reject” to continue talking with the first caller.Dialogue 
The voice command system can be activated via the “press to 
talk” key on the phone adapter or the key on the multi-func-
tion wheel.In this manual, Dialogue  is defined as the time in which the speech control 
system may receive vocal commands and provide assistance for completion 
of different functions in case the user is hesitant and unsure how to proceed. 
The system also responds by vocal messages. The dialogue is started and 
interrupted by pressing the “press to talk” button    ⇒page 6, fig. 1 .If a call is received, then the dialogue is immediately interrupted. The call can 
be accepted   by pressing the “answer call”   button   on the multi-
function steering wheel or by pressing multi-function button   on the radio

Assistance from control commands when orders are not recognized.
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.
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 speaking individual 
digits. This will help avoid mistakes when specifying telephone numbers.
Micro off
If, at any time, you do not want to be heard by the person on the other end of 
the line during a call, the vehicle microphone can be temporarily disabled
