Speech recognition109Speech recognitionGeneral information...................109
Phone control ............................ 110General information
The speech recognition of the
Infotainment system enables you to
operate the phone portal via voice input. It recognises commands and
numeric sequences independently of
the relevant speaker. The commands and numeric sequences can be
spoken without a voice pause
between the individual words.
You can save telephone numbers
assigning a name of your choice
(voice tag). Using these names, you
can later set up a telephone
connection.
In the event of incorrect operation or commands the speech recognition
gives you visual and/or acoustic
feedback and requests you to re-
enter the desired command. Apart
from this, the speech recognition
acknowledges important commands
and will enquire if necessary.
To ensure that conversations inside
the vehicle do not lead to
unintentional triggering of systemfunctions, the speech recognition
does not start until it has been
activated.
Important notes on language
support ■ Not all languages available for the display of the Infotainment system
are also available for the speech
recognition.
■ If the currently selected language for the display is not supported by
the speech recognition, you need to enter the voice commands in
English.
To be able to enter voice
commands in English, you first
need to activate the phone main
menu by pressing the PHONE
button on the Infotainment system,
and then activate the speech
recognition of the phone portal by
pressing button w on the steering
wheel.

guides you through the dialogue with
appropriate questions and feedback
to achieve the desired action.
