86Telephone speech control systemIntroduction
You can use speech commands to operate various functions 
of the telephone.Functions
When used in combination with the hands-free system, you can make calls 
without touching your mobile phone. The speech control system recognises 
commands and digits spoken by different people.
The speech control system allows you to do the following:•Create an acoustic phone book for the speech control system  ⇒page 86•Enter and dial a telephone number  ⇒page 91
Traffic reports are not announced during a running dialogue. The dialogue 
will be ended immediately when an incoming phone call is received. To 
answer the call, press the left thumbwheel on the multi-function steering 
wheel* or the talk button   on the mobile phone adapter.
Unclear speech commands
The system acknowledges your commands with an acoustic signal. If the 
system does not recognise a speech command, it will answer with  Pardon? 
and request you to repeat the command. After a third failed attempt the 
system will answer with  Cancel and the dialogue will be ended.
How to help the system understand you•Speak clearly in a normal volume. Speak louder if you are driving fast.•Speak in a normal tone without long pauses.•Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue.•Close doors, windows and sun roof* to reduce background noise. Make 
sure that passengers are not talking when you say a command.
•Keep the air outlets of the air distribution system pointed away from the 
microphone, which is fitted in the vicinity of the front interior lights.•The system should only be operated by the driver, since the hands-free 
microphone is directed towards the driver.WARNING
•Please direct your full attention to the road at all times! As the driver, 
you bear the responsibility for road safety. Therefore, you should only use 
the functions in a manner that allows you to maintain control of the vehicle 
in all situations.•The speech control system must not be used in cases of emergency, 
since the voice changes in stressful situations. This could result in a failed 
or delayed telephone connection. Always dial emergency numbers 
manually.
Speech control system phone book
Name tags are stored in the phone book for the speech 
control system.General notes

•Storing name tags (consisting of a name and number) in the phone book 
for the speech control system  ⇒page 93•Playing the phone book through the speech control system ⇒ page 94
Once you have saved name tags in the phone book for the speech control 
system, you can select them via the speech control system.
Entering data
You should choose spoken names that can be identified clearly by the speech 
control system.
Numbers from  ZERO to NINE  are recognised when you enter a telephone 
number. The telephone number can be specified all at once, in blocks of 
digits (separated by a brief pause), or as single digits. After each block of 
digits you specify (separated by a brief pause) the system will repeat the 
digits. The system does not recognise number combinations (e.g. "twenty-
three") but separate figures ( TWO, THREE ). Say the numbers clearly so that 
the system can recognise them easily.
If you indicate a number of more than twenty figures, the system will respond: 
The number is too long . A Plus (+)  can also be placed ahead of the number.
If the system does not recognise a phone book entry, you can play back the 
name tags (voice entries) on the speech control system by saying the 
command  PLAY PHONE BOOK . Press the talk button as a name is being read 
to select the entry.

tooth?•Is the mobile phone inserted in the mobile phone adapter*?•Is the mobile phone switched on and the PIN entered?
•Are the phone book entries being loaded from the mobile phone into the 
on-board phone system*  ⇒page 92?
