- Fig. 1 Overview of commands for the speech dialogue system
You can operate many functions of the MMI quickly and easily with the
speech dialogue system.
Some of the most important functions which you can operate with the
speech dialogue system are:
- Switching between the various modes, e.g. from navigation to telephone* mode
- Operating the main functions in telephone mode* and in the directory*
- Calling or navigating to a contact via the directory*
- Entering a destination and selecting the map settings in navigation mode
- Listening to up-to-date traffic messages in the Info menu
- Selecting sources and audio/video files in the media mode
- Setting the waveband and tuning to a station in radio mode
If you do not know a command, no problem! If the speech dialogue system
is activated, simply say HELP. The
system will transmit the commands you can currently say or will help
you with a cue
Link.
In which language would you like to use the speech dialogue system?
You can select any of the following languages: English, German, French,
Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch or Russian
Link.
You can use the individual speech training
to adapt the speech dialogue system to your voice or pronunciation so
that the speech dialogue system can then better recognise what you are
saying
Link.
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 talking while the speech dialogue system is giving 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.
- The system should only be operated by the driver, since the handsfree microphone is directed towards the driver.
Unrecognised speech commands
The system acknowledges your commands with an acoustic signal. If
the system does not recognise a speech command, it will answer with
Pardon? and request you to repeat
the command. After a third failed attempt the system will say
Cancel and the dialogue will
be ended.
WARNING!
- Please direct your full attention to the road at all times! As the driver, you have full responsibility for the safety of the vehicle and other road users. For this reason, you should only use the functions in a manner that allows you to maintain control of the vehicle in all situations - accident risk!
- The speech dialogue system must not be used in cases of emergency, since the voice changes in stressful situations. This could result in a failed or delayed telephone connection. Always dial emergency numbers manually!
