Voice command
Voice command system *
The concept
The voice command system allows you to
control operation of various vehicle
systems without ever removing your hands
from the steering wheel. The system oper-
ates on the basis of voice commands that
you will learn easily after using them a few
times. You issue your commands in the
form of instructions or in dialogs. The
dialog functions provide you with additional
support in the form of questions and infor-
mation.
The voice command system transforms
your commands and dialog answers into
control signals for the selected systems.
Please take the time to acquaint your-
self with how a particular system
operates before proceeding to control it
using the voice command system. At the
time of publication the voice command
system was available for use with the
English and German languages. Other
languages are currently in preparation.
When the voice command system is active
you can adjust the volume, refer to
