114Speech recognitionSpeech recognitionGeneral information...................114
Phone control ............................ 115General 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 the 7 / i button on the
Infotainment system, and then
activate the speech recognition of
the phone portal by pressing button
w on the steering wheel.
Speech recognition115Phone controlActivating speech recognition
To activate the speech recognition of
the Phone portal, press button w on
the steering wheel. For the duration of
the dialogue any active audio source
is muted and any traffic news fade-in
is cancelled.
Adjusting the volume for voice
output Turn the volume knob on the
Infotainment system, or press the + or
― button on the steering wheel.
Cancelling a dialogueThere are various ways of
deactivating the speech recognition
and cancelling the dialogue:
■ Press button x on the steering
wheel.
■ Say " Cancel".
■ Do not enter (say) any commands for some time.
■ After the third unrecognised command.Operation
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
command the Infotainment system
guides you through the dialogue with
appropriate questions and feedback
to achieve the desired action.
Main commands After activation of the speech
recognition a short tone signals that
the speech recognition is expecting
input.
Main commands available: ■ " Dial "
■ " Call "
■ " Redialing "
■ " Save "
■ " Delete "
■ " Directory "
■ " Pair "■ "Select device "
■ " Voice feedback "
Commands that are frequently
available
■ " Help ": the dialogue is terminated
and all commands available within
the actual function are enumerated.
■ " Cancel ": the speech recognition is
deactivated.
■ " Yes ": a suitable action is triggered
depending on the context.
■ " No ": a suitable action is triggered
depending on the context.
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.
116Speech recognition
You can then enter further numbers
or the following commands:
■ " Dial ": the inputs are accepted.
■ " Delete ": the number last entered or
the block of numbers last entered is
deleted.
■ " Plus ": a preceding "+" is entered
for a call abroad.
■ " Verify ": the inputs are repeated by
the voice output.
■ " Asterisk ": An asterisk "*" is
entered.
■ " Hash ": A hash "#" is entered.
■ " Help "
■ " Cancel "
The maximum length of the telephone number entered is 25 digits.
To be able to make a call abroad you
can say the word "Plus" (+) at the
beginning of your number. The plus
allows you to call from any country
without knowing the prefix for calls
made abroad in that country. Then
say the required country code.Example of a dialogue

number to dial "
