Frequently asked questions71Frequently asked
questionsFrequently asked questions .........71Frequently asked
questions
Speech recognition? The speech recognition function
does not work very well. How can
I improve its performance?
! Wait for the beep and then try to
speak the command naturally.
Avoid long pauses, use little
accentuation and speak at a
moderate volume.
Detailed description 3 54.? The voice prompts given out by the
speech recognition system are too long. How can I interrupt them to
directly speak a command?
! To interrupt the voice prompt of the
speech recognition system, press
w on the steering wheel. Wait for
the beep and then speak your
command.
Detailed description 3 54.? I cannot select a phone contact via
speech recognition. What am I
doing wrong?
! The Infotainment system
accesses the phone book entries
as they are stored. If the sorting
order is set to "last name, first
name", the correct command for
calling John Smith is "Smith,
John".
Detailed description 3 53.? I cannot enter an address located
in another country via speech
recognition. What am I doing
wrong?
! Via speech recognition, you can
only enter addresses for
destinations located in the country
whose language is selected as
system language, e.g. if the
system is set to German, you
cannot enter a destination located
in France.

112Speech recognitionSpeech recognitionGeneral information...................112
Phone control ............................ 113General 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 system
functions, 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.

Speech recognition113Phone control
Activating speech recognition To activate the speech recognition of
the Phone portal, press 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 + or ― on the steering wheel.
Cancelling a dialogue
There are various ways of
deactivating the speech recognition
and cancelling the dialogue:
● Press 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.

114Speech recognitionRecognition 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
