It recognises commands and numeric sequences independently of the relevant speaker.
Speech recognition To be able to enter voice commands in English, you first need to activate the phone main menu by pressing the PHONE button on the Infotainment system, and then activate the speech recognition of the phone portal by pressing the button w on the steering wheel. ■ Speech recognition of the navigation system: if the currently selected language for the display is not supported by the speech recognition, speech recognition will not be available.
102 Speech recognition Cancelling a dialogue sequence There are various possibilities to deactivate the speech recognition and to cancel a dialogue sequence: ■ Press the button x on the steering wheel or any button on the Infotainment system. ■ Press and hold the button w on the steering wheel for a few seconds. ■ Say "Cancel".
Speech recognition ■ One of the commands shown on the help menu. ■ One of the additional commands available for the radio mode, see image below. To display these additional commands say "More help". The radio help menu (part 2) shown below is displayed. Example: General help menu (main commands) The general help menu primarily shows the commands required to change to another mode of operation, e.g., to change from the radio mode to the CD player mode. To display the general help menu, say "General help".
104 Speech recognition <87.5..108.0>", you need to exchange "<87.5..108.0>" for a specific figure between 87.5 and 108.0. You could say, e.g., "Frequency 96 dot 3". Help messages You can induce the system to read out all voice commands currently available. After saying the command: ■ "Help": the system reads out the most important commands available for the currently active mode of operation. ■ "More help": the system reads out all additional commands available for the currently active mode of operation.
Speech recognition As soon as you hear a beep and the symbol in the upper left corner of the on-screen message (see image above) has changed its colour from red to grey, you can say the desired name. After saying the name, the system gives you visual and acoustic feedback, stating wether the command could be successfully performed or not. System: "Radio". System: activates the radio mode.
106 Speech recognition After assigning a name to a station, you can select that station by simply saying the assigned name. Action: the user wants to assign a name to the currently played (preset) station. User: activates speech recognition. User: "Add station name". System: "Please say the station name." User: "BBC 2". The regarding station can be selected now at any time by simply saying the assigned name, see below.

Selecting a point of interest Action: user wants to select a nearby petrol station as destination address. User: activates speech recognition.
108 Speech recognition Note The last calculated destination possibly has no valid address elements available that can be used as basis for address input via voice commands. For example, not all points of interest stored on the map SD card or destinations picked from the map display (see chapter "Navigation") provide the required valid address data. In such cases an empty or incompletely filled out menu for address input will be displayed.
Speech recognition Example: the language of the Infotainment system is set to English, Country is set to "GERMANY (D)", and you want to enter the city name "BAD MÜNDER". When spelling the city name, you can omit the space and replace the special German letter "Ü" by an "U". User: "City". System: "Please spell the city name.". User: "B" "A" "D" "M" "U" "N" "D" "E" "R". System: displays a list with the best matches, e.g.: "1. BAD MÜNDER" "2. BAD MÜNSTER" "3. ..." etc. User: "1" (or "Yes").
