7-78 Infotainment System
Telephone Number Dialing
After the“Dial”command, the voice
control requests input of a number.
The telephone number must be
spoken in your normal speech
without any artificial pauses
between the numbers.
Recognition is best, if a pause of at
least half a second is made after
every three to five digits. The
infotainment system then repeats
the numbers recognized.
Available Commands:
.“Dial”: the inputs are accepted.
.“Digit”: a numeric value between
“0-9” is entered.
.“Delete”: the number last
entered or the block of numbers
last entered is deleted.
.“Plus”: a preceding “+”is entered
for a call abroad.

by the voice output.
.“Asterisk”: an asterisk “*”is
entered.
.“Hash”: a hash character “#”is
entered.
.“Pause”: a pause is entered into

.“Help”
.“Cancel”
The telephone number entered can
have a maximum length of 25 digits.
To be able to make a call abroad
you can say the word “Plus”(+) at
the beginning of your number. The
plus allows you to call from any
country without knowing the prefix
for calls made abroad in that
country. Then say the required
country code. Example of a Dialogue
User:
“Dial.”
Voice output: “Please, say the
number to dial.”
User: “Plus four nine.”
