Operation
Operation via voice control
Introduction
The voice control system can be activated with the “Push to
talk” or “PTT” button . Thanks to the voice control you can use many telephone functions without
having to take your eyes off the road or your hands off the steering wheel.
Dialogue is the time during which the voice control system transmits mes-
sages and can receive spoken orders (commands).
If a call is received, then the dialogue is immediately interrupted.
You can use the HELP in any part of the menu. If you have any doubts or
cannot decide the Command to use, the system will provide you with the
available options.
You can CANCEL in any part of the menu.
Basic functions available with the voice controls
Volume adjustment
You can change the sound volume at any time with the radio button or with
the buttons on the multi-function control.
Voice control connection (Dialogue)
You can start the dialogue at any time by briefly pressing the PTT button
on the multi-function control.
If the system does not recognise your command, there is a first help option
which allows a new input. After a second failed try the system repeats the second part of the help. After a third failed try, the answer “Process inter-
rupted” is displayed and the dialogue ends.
Disconnection of the voice control (Dialogue)
You can end the dialogue at any time by briefly pressing the PTT button
on the multi-function control. If the system is waiting for a command, you
can end the dialogue with the “CANCEL” command.
Interruption of the current message
By pressing the PTT button during the message, only the current mes-
sage is ended and it is possible to give another command.
Correct use of the voice control
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 back-
ground noises.
● Avoid other noises in the vehicle during a dialogue (e.g. other passen-
gers speaking in the vehicle).
● Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue.
● The hands-free microphone is directed towards the driver, therefore, on-
ly the driver should try to operate the system.
● To make a call when there is heavy background noise we recommend us-
ing the speech controlled telephone book instead of speaking individual
digits. This will help avoid mistakes when specifying telephone numbers.
