PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
CAUTION
Using the system with the engine off
will drain the battery.
Voice recognition enables operation of
the system without the need to divert your
attention from the road ahead in order to
change settings, or receive feedback
from the system.
Whenever you issue one of the defined
commands with the system active, the
voice recognition system converts your
command into a control signal for the
system. Your inputs take the form of
dialogues or commands. You are guided
through these dialogues by
announcements or questions.
Please familiarise yourself with the
functions of the system before using voice
recognition.
Supported commands
The voice control system allows you to
control the following vehicle functions:
•
Bluetooth phone
• radio
• CD Player/CD Changer
• external device (USB)
• external device (iPod)
• automatic climate control
• navigation system (DVD units only -
refer to separate DVD navigation
handbook).
System response
As you work through a voice session the
system will prompt you with a beep tone
each time the system is ready to proceed. Do not try to give any commands until the
beep tone has been heard. The voice
control system will repeat each spoken
command back to you.
If you are not sure how to continue say
"HELP" for assistance or "CANCEL" if you
do not wish to continue.
The "HELP" function provides only a
subset of the available voice commands.
Detailed explanations of all possible voice
commands can be found on the following
pages.
Voice commands
All voice commands should be given using
a natural speaking voice, as if speaking to
a passenger or on the phone. Your voice
level should be dependant on the
surrounding noise level inside or outside
the vehicle but do not shout.
