2012 SKODA YETI Columbus Navigation System Manual

Voice control of the radio navigation system
Introductory information
The voice control is only possible in the following languages: Czech, English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Italian .
You can use the voice control in the operating modes RADIO, MEDIA, PHONE, MAP
and NAV .
Switch on voice control (dialogue)
› Press the button
 .
Dialogue
› The long or short dialogue can be selected by pressing the key
 on the unit
and by speaking the voice command “Long dialogue ”
(the system outputs the
message completely without shortening it) or “Short dialogue ” (the system
shortens some messages or substitute them with an acoustic signal (gong),
which accelerates the control) or in manual mode SETUP» page 11, Setup
Voice control .
Interrupt messages › The message just given can be finished by pressing the button
 on the unit.
This allows you to speak another voice command earlier.
Switch off voice control (dialogue)
› After executing the voice command, voice control switches off automatically.
› By pressing one of the buttons which are located on the side of the touch-
screen of the unit or by touching the touch-screen (unless the function key Hide help is not pressed in the help display).
› By speaking the voice command “Cancel
”

.
› If the system does not receive a voice command or does not recognise the voice
command, although dialogue is switched on, it responds with the question “Par-
don? ” and allows you to speak another voice command. If the system does not
receive a voice command even the second time, you will be offered help. If the
system does not receive a voice command even the third time, you receive the
message “Cancel ” and the voice control switches off.
Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on several factors:
› Speak with a normal tone of voice without intonation and excessive pauses.
› Avoid a bad pronunciation.
› Do not use abbreviations – always speak the whole voice command. ›
Do not speak when the system makes an announcement. As long as the system
has not finished the announcement, it will not react to an additional voice com-
mand.
› Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, in order to avoid disturbing influen-
ces of the environment on the understanding of the voice commands.
› 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. Ð Voice commands
The system only recognises 30
000 entries (i.e, it will only recognise 30 000 of
the largest cities for the selected country, for example, in the operating mode
NAV . If the desired city is not included in the 30 000 entries, it cannot be spoken
normally, but it must be entered by spelling it out.
Call up the general information for the voice control by briefly pressing the button  on the unit and by speaking the command “Instructions
”
. Then you hear a
message that the instructions are divided into seven parts. If you want more de-
tailed information about individual parts of the instructions, then, for example,
speak the voice command “Tutorial Part 2 ”.
Call up the general help for individual operating modes by briefly pressing the
button  on the unit and by speaking the command “Help Quick Commands”.
Voice command
“Help”
Help can be called up by speaking the command “ Help”. Depending on the operat-
ing mode in which you are, the help given will offer different possibilities. If the
options offered are not sufficient, speak the voice command “Further options”.
Changing between the operating modes
If you wish to change between the operating modes after switching on the voice
control, always speak the name of the operating mode to which you wish to
change. This means, if you are in the operating mode RADIO and you wish to
change into the operating mode MEDIA, speak the voice command “Media”. Al-
ways speak the names of the operating modes PHONE, MAP, NAV as “telephone,
map, navigation ”.
In each operating mode, you can also use the voice commands for other operating
modes - the unit automatically switches between the different operating modes. 

page 11, Setup Voice control .
Voice recording
In the operating modes PHONE, NAV and RADIO, a short voice recording can be
made; after speaking the recorded term, the desired voice command is carried out
(e.g. in the operating mode PHONE , a voice recording can be set up for a tele-
phone contact and after speaking it, the system carries out the dialling). Ð8

RDS (Radio Data System) is used to transmit programme IDs and additional serv-
ices, thus enabling automatic station tracking, for example.
In the event of sufficiently satisfactory reception, the suitable RDS radio stations
will display the station name instead of the station frequency.
If a radio station transmits additional information via the RDS function while a
station is being stored, it may occur that the name of the radio station is later dis-
played incorrectly in the preset list.

TP - switches the traffic programme on/off.
The display “TP” in combination with a station name (e.g. in the station or preset

Irrespective of which radio station you are listening to, an additional receiver part
in the unit ensures that a traffic programme station can always be received as
long as the traffic programme function is switched on. During media mode, the
unit always searches for an available traffic program station in the background.
The availability of traffic programme monitoring is identified by the letters

“TP” at
the top right of the screen.
If no traffic programme station can be received because, for example, radio recep-
tion is interrupted in general, “No TP” will be displayed instead of “TP”. Ð 13
