Voice activation system*
The concept
Possible commands
▷
The voice activation system can be used to
operate equipment by means of spoken
commands.
Having possible commands read aloud
The commands available in each case depend
on the menu item selected on the Control Dis‐
play.
▷
▷
The system encompasses special micro‐
phones on the outer edge of the headliner.
Have the available spoken instructions read
aloud using ›Voice commands‹.
Most menu items on the Control Display can
be voiced as commands. The system
prompts you to make your entries.
If, for example, ›Settings‹ is selected, the com‐
mands to the settings are read aloud.
▷
›...‹ Verbal instructions in the Owner's Man‐
ual to use with the voice activation system.
Executing functions using short
commands
Requirements
Functions on the main menu can be performed
directly by means of short commands, irrespec‐
tive of which menu item is currently selected,
e. g., ›Vehicle status‹.
On the Control Display, set the language to be
used with the voice activation system to enable
the system to identify the voice commands.

page 258.
