Some equipment functions can be operated using voice commands. This accel-
erates the use of the device and increases comfort while driving.
Voice control can be used in the Radio, Media , Phone and Navigation menus.
The voice control system can be operated either by the driver or by the front
passenger.
WARNING■ Please pay attention to the traffic first and foremost. As the driver you
are fully responsible for road safety. Only use the system in a way that
leaves you in full control of your vehicle in every traffic situation – there is
the risk of an accident.■
Do not use the voice control system under stress or in an emergency.
Your voice commands may not be recognized in such situations. In such cir-
cumstances it may not be possible to establish a telephone connection or
the connection may take too much time to complete. The emergency num-
ber should be dialled manually.
