Speech recognition113Speech recognitionGeneral information...................113
Phone control ............................ 114General 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 current 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 must
enter the voice commands in
English.
To be able to enter voice
commands in English, you must
first activate the phone main menu
by pressing PHONE on the
Infotainment system, and then
activate the speech recognition of
the phone portal by pressing w on
the steering wheel.

With the aid of the speech recognition
the mobile phone can be operated
very conveniently via voice input. It is sufficient to activate the speech
recognition and to enter (say) the
desired command. After input of the

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

Operation
Introduction As soon as a connection via
Bluetooth has been set up between
your mobile phone and the
Infotainment system, you can also
operate many functions of your
mobile phone via the Infotainment
system.
Via the Infotainment system, you can,
e.g., set up a connection to the
telephone numbers stored in your
mobile phone or change the
telephone numbers.
Notice
In the handsfree mode, mobile
phone operation is still possible,
e.g. taking a call or adjusting the
volume.
After setup of a connection between
the mobile phone and the
Infotainment system the mobile
phone data is transmitted to the
Infotainment system. This can take some time depending on the phone
model. During this period operation of
the mobile phone is possible via the
Infotainment system only to a limited
extent.
Not every telephone supports all
functions of the Phone portal.
Therefore deviations from the range
of functions described with these
specific telephones are possible.
Setting the volume for hands-free facility
Turn m on the Infotainment system or
press + or - on the steering wheel.
