16Voice control: All modelsDialogue
The voice control system can be activated via the “Push to
Talk” or “PTT” key on the phone adapter or the button on the
multifunction steering 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.
If a call is received, then the dialogue is immediately interrupted.
The voice control system includes the options, short dialogue and long
dialogue . The default setting is the long dialogue. The short dialogue is
recommended when you are familiar with the orders and the structure of the
voice control menu. The long dialogue offers more tips and information about
the voice control procedure.
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 duri ng 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.
