Voice activation system*

The concept

▷ The voice activation system can be used to

operate functions by means of spoken com‐

mands.

▷ Most menu items on the Control Display can

be voiced as commands. The system

prompts you to make your entries.

▷ Functions that can only be used when the

vehicle is stationary cannot be operated us‐

ing the voice activation system.

▷ The system uses a special microphone on

the driver's side.

▷ ›...‹ Verbal instructions in the Owner's

Manual to use with the voice activation sys‐

tem.

Requirements

Via the Control Display, set a language that is

also supported by the voice activation system

so that the spoken commands can be identified.

Set the language, refer to page 73.
