Activating voice recognition via
the server
The voice recognition feature via the server
provides a dictation function and a natural
method of entering destinations while im-
proving the quality of voice recognition. To
use the functions, data is transmitted to a
service provider via an encrypted connec-
tion and stored locally there.
Via the Central Information Display (CID):
1. "My MINI"
2. "System settings"
3. "Language"
4. "Server speech recognition"
Adjusting the volume
Turn the volume button during the spoken
instructions until the desired volume is set.
– The volume remains constant even if the
volume of other audio sources is
changed.
– The volume is stored for the profile cur-
rently used.
Information on Emergency
Requests
Do not use the voice activation system to
initiate an Emergency Request. In stressful
situations, the voice and vocal pitch can
change. This can unnecessarily delay the es-
tablishment of a phone connection.
Instead, use the SOS button, refer to
page 257 , close to the interior mirror.
System limits
– Certain noises can be detected and may
lead to problems. Keep the doors, win-
dows, and glass sunroof closed.
– Noises from the front passenger or the
rear seat bench can impair the system.
Avoid making other noise in the vehicle
while speaking.
– Major language dialects can cause prob-
lems with the voice recognition feature.
Speak loud and clear.
