Operating UHP Using Voice
Control (If Equipped)
The voice control of the UHP

several functions of the mobile
phone using your voice. The UHP
system uses voice commands to
control the system and dial phone numbers. After input of the
command, the infotainment system
guides you through the dialogue
with appropriate questions and
feedback to achieve the desired
action. The commands and
numbers can be spoken without a
pause between the individual words.
In addition you can save telephone
numbers under a name tag that is
selectable by you. The telephone
connection can be set up with
this name.
In the event of incorrect operation or
incorrect codes, the voice control
gives you voice feedback and
requests you to re-enter the desired
command. Apart from this, the voice
control acknowledges important
commands and will ask if
necessary.
In order that calls made inside the
vehicle do not lead to unintentional
triggering of the mobile phone, the
voice control does not start until it
has been activated.
