help display).•
By pronouncing the command “

If the system does not receive a command or does not recognise the command
while the dialogue is switched on, it answers with the question “
Pardon?
” and thus
makes it possible to pronounce a new co
mmand. If the system does not receive a
second voice command, you will be offered help
. If the system does not receive a third
voice command, you receive the message “
Cancel
” and the voice control switches off.
Optimum understanding of the commands depends on several factors:•
Speak with a normal tone of voice wi
thout intonation and excessive pauses.
•
Avoid a bad pronunciation.
•
Do not use any abbreviations - al
ways pronounce the full command.
•
Do not speak, if the system makes an announcement. As long as the system has not
finished the announcement, it will
not react to an additional command.
•
Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, in order to avoid disturbing influences
of the environment on the understanding of the commands.•

increased surrounding noise does not drown out the command.•
During the dialogue limit additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. simultaneously talking
occupants.•
The microphone for voice control is directed
to the driver as well as to the front
passenger. Therefore the driver and the front passenger can operate the unit.DialogueThe period of time in which the system
is ready to receive voice commands and to
carry them out is call
ed a dialogue. The system reacts
with an audible feedback and
guides you through the individual functions. Selecting long and short dialogue The nature of the dialogue can be set by
pressing the button on the unit and by
pronouncing the command “
long dialogue
” or “
short dialogue
”.
The nature of the dialogue can also be
set manually in the operating mode

-
- or .
If you select the short dialogue, the system shortens some messages or replaces them by an audible si
gnal (gong), thus the operation is accelerated.
If you select the long dialogue, the system
gives the whole message without shortening
it. The entered voice commands are the same for the long and short dialogue. Interrupt messages The message just given can be ended by br
iefly pressing the button on the unit.
Thus, it is possible to pronounce
an additional voic
e command sooner.
