2016.5 VAUXHALL MERIVA Infotainment system

Speech recognition113Recognition 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.
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 countrywithout knowing the prefix for calls
made abroad in that country. Then
say the required country code.Example of a dialogue

The Phone portal provides you with
the possibility of having mobile phone conversations via a vehicle
microphone and the vehicle
loudspeakers as well as operating the
most important mobile phone
functions via the Infotainment system in the vehicle. To be able to use the
Phone portal, the mobile phone has
to be connected with it via Bluetooth.
The Phone portal can be operated
optionally via the speech recognition
system.
Not all Phone portal functions are
supported by every mobile phone.
The possible phone functions depend on the relevant mobile phone and
network provider. You will find further
information on this in the operating
instructions for your mobile phone or
you can enquire about them with your network provider.Important information for
operation and traffic safety9 Warning
Mobile phones have effects on
your environment. For this reason safety regulations and directions
have been prepared. You should
be familiar with the related
directions before you use the
telephone function.
9 Warning
Use of the hands-free facility while
driving can be dangerous because
your concentration is reduced
when telephoning. Park your
vehicle before you use the hands- free facility. Follow the stipulations
of the country in which you find
yourself at present.
Do not forget to follow the special
regulations that apply in specific
areas and always switch off the
mobile phone if the use of mobile
phones is prohibited, if

Phone117interference is caused by the
mobile phone or if dangerous
situations can occur.
Bluetooth
The Phone portal is certified by the
Bluetooth Special Interest Group
(SIG).
You will find further information about the specification on the Internet at
http://www.bluetooth.com
Operating the speech recognition
Do not use the speech recognition in
emergencies, because in stress
situations your voice can change so
much that it can no longer be
recognised sufficiently to set up the
desired connection quickly enough.
Bluetooth connection
Bluetooth is a radio standard for the wireless connection of, for example, a
telephone with other devices.
Information such as a telephone
book, call lists, the network operator's
name and field strength can be
transferred. The functionality can be
restricted depending on the
telephone type.
To be able to set up a Bluetooth
connection with the Phone portal, the Bluetooth function of the mobile
phone must be activated and the
mobile phone must be set to "visible".
For further information, please refer to the operating instructions for the
