pressing w on the steering wheel.
A beep is heard immediately, the
speech recognition symbol changes
to red, and a command can be stated
without having to wait.
Cancelling a dialogue sequence
There are various ways to cancel a
dialogue sequence and to deactivate
the speech recognition:
● Say " Cancel" or "Exit".
● Press n on the steering wheel.
● If the speech recognition session
was started via the VOICE
screen button on the centre
display, you may alternatively:
● Press ; on the control panel.
● Select m or Exit in the help
menu.In the following situations, a dialogue
sequence is automatically cancelled:
● If you do not say any command for a certain period of time (by
default you are prompted three times to say a command).
● If you say commands that are not
recognised by the system (by
default you are prompted three
times to say a correct command).
Operation via speech commands
The speech recognition can
understand commands that are either naturally stated in sentence form, or
direct commands stating the
application and the action.
For best results: ● Listen for the voice prompt and wait for the beep before saying a
command or replying.
● Say " Help" or read the example
commands on the screen.● The voice prompt can be interrupted by pressing w again.
● Wait for the beep and then speak
the command naturally, not toofast, not too slow. Use short and
direct commands.
Usually commands can be spoken in
a single command. For example,
"Call David Smith at work", "Play"
followed by the artist or song name,
"Tune to" followed by the radio
waveband and frequency/station
name, or "Find address" followed by
the address e.g. "123 Main Road,
London".
In case of complex commands or
when information is missing, the
system starts a dialogue sequence.
When searching for a "Point of
Interest", only major chains may be
selected by name. Chains are
businesses with at least 20 locations.
For other POIs, say the name of a
category, e.g. "Restaurants",
"Shopping centres", or "Hospitals".
If you say "Phone" or "Phone
commands", the system understands
that a phone call is requested and
responds with relevant questions until
Speech recognition63enough details are gathered. If the
phone number has been saved with a
name and a place, the direct
command should include both, for
example "Call David Smith at work".Selecting list items
When a list is displayed, a voice
prompt asks to confirm or select an
item from that list. A list item may be
manually selected, or by speaking the
line number of the item.
The list on a speech recognition
screen functions the same as a list on
other screens. Manually scrolling the
list on a screen during a speech
recognition session suspends the
current speech recognition event and
plays a prompt like "Make your
selection from the list using the
manual controls, press the back
button on the faceplate, or press the
back screen button to try again".
