Voice controlIntroductionThe period, in which the telephone system is ready to receive voice commands and
carry out the voice commands, is called DI ALOGUE. The system gives audible feedback
and guides you if necessary through the relevant functions.
The volume can be changed at any time with the control button of the radio* or the
navigation system* or with the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel*. Switch on voice control (dialogue)
You can start the dialogue at any time
by briefly pressing the PTT button
 on the
multifunction st eering wheel* page 134.
If the system does not recognise your command, it repeats the first part of the aid and
thus a new entry is possible. After the 2nd error the system repeats the second part of
the aid. After the 3rd error the answer “ Procedure cancelled” is given and the dialogue
is ended.
Switching off voice control (dialogue)
You can end the dialogue at an y time by briefly pressing the button on the multifunc-
tion steering wheel* page 134. If the system expects a voice command, you can end
the dialogue with the command CANCEL.
Only the message just repeated can be ended by pressing the PTT button  during the
message and thus it is possible to pronounce the expected command sooner.
The dialogue of the incoming call is immediately interrupted and you can accept the
call by pressing the button
 on the multifunction steering wheel*.
Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on the following
factors:

Speak with a normal tone of voice withou t intonation and excessive voice pauses.

Avoid insufficient articulation.

Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, in order to reduce or stop disturbing
exterior noise.

It is recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the tone of your voice
is louder than the increased surrounding noise.

During the dialogue avoid additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. simultaneously
talking occupants.

Do not speak, if the system makes an announcement.

The microphone for voice control is inserted in the moulded headliner and
directed to the driver and front passenger. Therefore the driver and the front passenger
can operate the equipment.

WARNING

The front seats and the head restraints must always be adjusted to match
the body size of the seat occupant as well as the seat belts must always be
correctly fastened in order to provide an optimal protection for you and your
occupants.

The driver must maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the steering wheel
 page 142, fig. 127 left. Not maintaining this minimum distance will mean
that the airbag system will not be able to properly protect you - hazard!

When driving, hold the st eering wheel with both hands firmly on the outer
edge in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock po sition. Never hold the steering wheel
firmly in the 12 o'clock position or in another way (e.g. in the middle of the
steering wheel or at the inner steering wheel edge). In such cases, injuries to the
arms, the hands and the head can occur when the driver airbag is deployed.

The seat backrests must not be angled too far back when driving otherwise
this will affect proper operation of the se at belts and of the airbag system - risk
of injury!

Ensure that there are no objects in the footwell as any objects may get
behind the pedals during a driving or braking manoeuvre. You would then no
longer be able to operate the clutch, to brake or accelerate.
Correct seated position for the front passenger
The fro n t p assen ger must mai n tai n a d i stan ce of a t l ea st 25 c m from th e

accident, we recommend the following setting:
Adjust the front passenger seat as far as possible to the rear.

Adjust the head restraint so that the top edge of the head restraint is at the same
level as the upper part of your head page 142, fig. 127 - right.

Fasten the seat belt correctly page 147, “How are seat belts correctly fastened?”.
In exceptional cases the front pass enger airbag can be deactivated page 157,
“Deactivating an airbag”. Manual front passenger adjustment
