Voice control

Introduction to the subject

Applies to Infotainment Columbus, Amundsen, Bolero.

senger.

Function requirements for voice control

Infotainment is switched on.
There will be no telephone call using a telephone connected to Infotain-

ment.

Requirements for optimum voice command recognition

▶

The voice commands must only be issued when the



symbol is displayed on

the Infotainment screen and the input tone has completely faded.

▶

Speak at your normal volume without intonation and long breaks.

▶

Avoid poor pronunciation.

▶

Close the doors and window in order to avoid disturbing environmental influ-

ences on the function of the voice control.

▶

You are recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the sound of

your voice is not drowned out by the increased ambient noise.

▶

During voice control, limit additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. passengers talk-

ing at the same time.

WARNING

The emergency number should be dialled manually. Your voice commands

may not be recognized in such situations. The telephone connection may
