Notices
Do not use the voice command
system to make emergency SOS
calls. Your voice and habitual tone could be
affected by stressful situations, as a result
of which the process of establishing the
telephone connection could be unneces-
sarily delayed. Instead, you should use the
emergency SOS button located adjacent to
the rearview mirror, refer to page
161 .

Environmental conditions
The voice command system uses a special
microphone located on the front headliner
of your vehicle. Although the system is
designed to filter out ambient noise, you
can help ensure that your commands will
be understood by observing the following
instructions:
>
Speak smoothly and clearly, at a normal
volume. Do not place any unusual stress on
individual syllables, and avoid pauses
>
Do not speak while the voice command
system is talking
>
Keep the doors, windows and sunroof
closed to prevent interference from
ambient noise
>
Avoid other sources of noise in the
vehicle while speaking, and ask other
vehicle occupants to refrain from talking
while you are using the system.
>
The hands-free microphone is aimed
toward the driver. This means that the
system may be unable to register the
voices of other vehicle occupants properly;
passengers should use the mobile phone
instead.
The notebook
Recording a note
>>Record note<<
<
You can store approx. ten minutes of
spoken text – either as a single entry or as
multiple entries of any desired length.
To terminate recording:
Apply extended pressure to
the
button.
The voice command system does not
respond to the commands
>>Cancel<< and >>Exit<< while you are
recording a note. The standard utility that
scans for system commands is deactivated
in the note mode to allow you to record any
text desired, without artificial restrictions.
This feature saves you from having to
concentrate on avoiding these words while
recording.
