54 Speech recognition
Adjusting the volume of voice
prompts
Press
w
or ─ on the right side of the
steering wheel.
Interrupting a voice prompt
As an experienced user, you can
interrupt a voice prompt by briefly
pressing
w
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
n
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
w
again.
If you wish to directly speak your
command, press
w
twice.
● Wait for the beep and then speak
the command naturally. In most
cases, recognition rates will be
higher if pauses are kept to a
minimum. Use short and direct
commands.
Usually phone and audio commands
can be spoken in a single command.
For example, "Call David Smith",
"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 a
request for 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".
