Voice command system

The concept

The voice command system allows you to con-
trol operation of various vehicle systems with-
out removing your hands from the steering
wheel.
Individual menu items on the Control Display
can be spoken as commands. It is not neces-
sary to use the controller.
The voice command system transforms your
oral commands into control signals for the
selected systems and provides support in the
form of instructions or questions.
The voice command system uses a special
microphone located in the area of the interior
rearview mirror, refer to page

Precondition

Via iDrive, select the language in which the
voice command system is operating, so that the
spoken commands can be identified. Selecting
the language for iDrive, refer to page

For voice commands, bear in mind the follow-
ing:

smoothly and at normal volume, avoiding
excessive emphases and pauses. The same
applies to spelling when entering a destina-
tion for navigation.

Always speak the commands in the lan-
guage of the voice command system.

When selecting a radio station, use the
standard pronunciation of the station name.

For entries in the voice-activated phone
book, only use names in the language of the
voice command system and no abbrevia-
tions

Keep the doors, windows and glass sunroof
closed to prevent interference from outside
noise.

Avoid ambient noise in the vehicle while
speaking.

Select a track, e.g.:
{Track 1}.
The system says:
{{Track 1}}.
