Volkswagen Touareg (2015 year). Instruction — part 16

Help for voice operation feature

Help for voice operation should be activated and listened to the first time you use it.

The help for voice operation explains basic operation and demonstrates the most important voice
commands.

Briefly press the

button on the multi-function steering wheel.

Say the voice command in the language set in the Infotainment System.

Language: voice command

German: Hilfe Sprachbedienung

English: Voice operation help

French: Aide Système de commande vocale

Spanish: Ayuda Manejo por voz

Italian: Aiuto sistema di comando vocale

Portugese: Ajuda do comando por voz

Dutch: Help spraakbediening

Russian: С а а и е е

а е ия

Follow the subsequent explanations and instructions in the voice dialog.

Control during voice dialog

While voice guidance is being provided by the Infotainment System, the microphone symbol “not
active” (without the 3 lines) is shown on the instrument cluster display and on the Infotainment System
screen.

Briefly press the

button on the multi-function steering wheel to interrupt voice guidance from

the Infotainment System and immediately say the next voice command.

You can only say a voice command when the symbol “active” is displayed.

If a voice command is spoken incorrectly or incompletely and no action has been started as a result,
the voice command can be repeated. The symbol remains “active”.

Briefly press the

button on the multi-function steering wheel to repeat the voice command.

Recording name tags

A name tag can be recorded as a voice command in some menus via the voice operation. Follow the
instructions from the voice dialog. Avoid loud noises in the background when recording voice inputs.

Some voice commands are only available if the unit is in the right operating area.

Display of the help menus for the individual operating areas can be disabled

If a voice command has been misunderstood several times, it may be sensible to terminate voice

operation manually by pressing the

button longer and to then start again.

Notes on voice operation

Please first read and heed the WARNINGS

and note the introductory information

Please note the following points to ensure that the voice operation feature works properly:

syllables cannot be recognized by the system.

Say the telephone numbers only in single digits.
Speak at a normal volume without exaggeration or long pauses.
Avoid background noise, such as conversations in the vehicle. Close all windows, doors and the

sunroof.

Do not point the flow of air from the vents towards the vehicle roof.
Speak a little louder at higher speeds.
