Speech recognition143Speech recognitionGeneral information...................143
Phone control ............................ 144General information
The speech recognition of the
Infotainment system enables you to
operate various functions of 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 also 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 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 the button w on the
steering wheel.

sufficient to activate the speech
recognition and to enter (say) the
desired command. After input of the
command the Infotainment system
guides you through the dialogue with
appropriate questions and feedback
to achieve the desired action.

Entering a telephone number
After the command " Dial" the speech
recognition requests input of a
number.
The telephone number must be
spoken in your normal voice without
any artificial pauses between the
individual numbers.
Recognition works best, if a pause of
at least half a second is made after
every three to five digits. The
Infotainment system then repeats the
numbers recognised.
