your voice is not drowned out by the increased ambient noise.
▶ During voice control, limit additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. passengers
talking at the same time.WARNINGThe emergency number should be dialled manually. Your voice commands
may not be recognised in such situations. The telephone connection may
not be established or the connection may take too much time to complete.
CAUTION
■ The messages are generated by Infotainment. Flawless clarity (e.g. road or
city name) cannot always be guaranteed.■
For some Infotainment languages, there is no voice control available. Info-
tainment indicates this fact through a text message that is displayed on the
screen after setting the Infotainment language.
Note
During voice control, no nav. announcements and traffic announcements are
played.
