How to help the system understand you
Speak clearly in a normal volume. Speak louder if you are driving
fast.
Speak in a normal tone without long pauses.
Avoid speaking when the speech dialogue system is saying a cue.
Close doors, windows and sun roof*
to reduce background noise. Make sure that passengers are not
talking when you say a command.
Keep the air outlets of the air distribution system pointed
away from the microphone, which is fitted in the vicinity of
the front interior lights in the headliner.
The system should only be operated by the driver, since the
handsfree microphone is directed towards the driver.
