96Telephone control (Phone)
● Speak in a normal tone and without pauses or exaggerated pronuncia-
tion.
● The hands-free microphone is directed towards the driver, therefore, on-
ly the driver should try to operate the system.
● Avoid other noises in the vehicle during a dialogue (e.g. other passen-
gers speaking in the vehicle).
● Keep the doors, windows and sun roof closed if possible to avoid back-
ground noises that might affect the system.
● At high speeds, you might need to speak louder to drown out back-
ground noises.
● 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.
Voice control commands
Voice control is available in the following languages: Spanish, German, English, Italian, French, Portuguese, Czech, Rus-
sian and Dutch.
It is often possible to activate the same function using different spoken in-
structions. If in doubt, just try giving a command.
Basic commands, valid anywhere in the menu
HELPAfter this command, the system repeats all the possible
commands
CANCELThe dialogue ends Commands from the main menu for using the system
If the user does not give a COMMAND (user silence), there are three TIME-
OUTS, after which the system informs the user of the available options:
The system starts the assistance cue with the following DIALOGUE: “The
available commands are: dial number, redial, other options, or say call
followed by a contact, for example, call Mary Smith at home ”.
If the user still does not give a COMMAND, the system starts the second
assistance cue with the DIALOGUE: “For other commands, say Help ”.
If the user still does not say a COMMAND, the “Operation cancelled”
dialogue is started.
TIMEOUTS are considered each time that the system is waiting for a verbal
instruction from the user and the user remains silent.
“HELP” command
● With this COMMAND the user asks the system for help about the availa-
ble options.
● When this command is given, the system starts the DIALOGUE “Say call
followed by the name of the contact you wish to call, for example, call Mary
Smith on her mobile, or say dial number, redial or other options. If you say
cancel, you will leave the voice control system ”
● The system is waiting for a new COMMAND from the user.
● If the user gives the new COMMAND, and this is correctly recognised by
the system, it goes to the corresponding menu.
● If the user remains silent for a time (TIMEOUT T1), the system starts an
initial assistance cue with the DIALOGUE: “The available commands are: di-
al number, redial, other options, or say call followed by a contact, for exam-
ple, call Mary Smith at home ”. If the user remains silent for a time (T2), the
system starts a second assistance cue with the DIALOGUE: “For other com-
mands, say Help ”. If the user remains silent for a time (T3), the system
starts the DIALOGUE: “Operation cancelled”, and the voice recognition sys-
tem is switched off.
