The help window provides information in
addition to the audible instructions during
individualisation and when you are subse-
quently using voice control.
Individualisation Individualisation adapts LINGUATRONIC to
your voice, resulting in optimised voice rec-
ognition .This means that other users' voices
will not be recognised as easily, and therefore
this function can be switched off
(Y page 75).
Individualisation comprises two parts and
takes approximately five minutes. It consists
of training the system to recognise a certain
number of digit sequences and voice com-
mands.
Starting new individualisation
It is only possible to start individualisation
when the vehicle is stationary. Before start-
ing, switch off all devices or functions which
could interfere, such as the radio or the nav-
igation system. After commencing individual-
isation, the system guides you with spoken
instructions.
X Select System0004Settings0004Lingua‐

tion.
You will see and hear a prompt, asking
whether you would like further information.
X Select YesorNo.
If you select No, the first part of the voice
training begins. You will be asked whether you would like to train digits or voice com-
mands.
After selecting
Yes, you see an information
display and hear information regarding the
individualisation process. The first part of
individualisation then begins automati-
cally.
or
X To close the display: press0017.
You will be asked whether you would like
to train digits or voice commands. At the end of the first part, a prompt will

cancelled. The data from the first part is
stored automatically.
If you select Yes, the second part will begin.
Individualisation is completed at the end of
the second part. You will see a message to
this effect. The data from the second part is
stored automatically. 74
