60 Speech recognition
Interrupting a voice prompt
As an experienced user, you can
interrupt a voice prompt by briefly
pressing the
w
button on the steering
wheel.
A beep is heard immediately, and a
command can be stated without
having to wait.
Cancelling a dialogue sequence
There are several possibilities to
cancel a dialogue sequence and to
deactivate the speech recognition:
■ Say "Cancel" or "Exit".
■ Press the
n
button on the right
side of the steering wheel.
In the following situations a dialogue
sequence is automatically cancelled:
■ If you do not say any commands for
some 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 task.
For best results:
■ Listen for the voice prompt and wait
for the beep before saying a
command or replying.
■ Say "Help" if you want to listen
again to the help prompt for the
current dialogue step.
■ The voice prompt can be
interrupted by pressing the
w
button
again
■ Wait for the beep and then speak
the command naturally, not too
fast, not too slow. Use short and
direct commands.
Usually phone and audio commands
can be spoken in a single command.
For example, "Call David Smith at
work", "Play" followed by the artist or
song name, or "Tune to" followed by
the radio frequency and the
waveband.
Navigation destinations, however,
are too complex for a single
command. First, state "Navigation"
and then, e.g. "Address" or "Point of
Interest". The system responds with
requesting more details.
After saying "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".
Direct commands are easier
understood by the system, e.g. "Call
01234567".
If you say "Phone", the system
understands that a phone call is
requested and responds with
respective questions until enough
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"
