Activating the system
Before any phone voice commands can be used, a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone must be paired with the infotainment system. If a phone command is given, the system will inform you If there is no cell phone paired. See page 233 for information on pairing a cell phone.
Press the voice control button (1 in the illustration) to activate the system and initiate a command dialogue. The system will display commonly used commands on the screen when the button has been pressed.
While using the voice control system, keep the following points in mind:
- When giving commands, speak at your usual speed and in a normal tone of voice after the tone
- The vehicle's doors, windows and moonroof should be closed when using the voice control system
- Avoid background noises in the cabin when using the system
NOTE
If you are uncertain of the commands that you can use, saying "help" will prompt the system to provide a number of commands that can be used in a specific situation. Voice control commands can be cancelled by:
- Saying "cancel"
- Not speaking
- Pressing and holding the voice control button
- Pressing EXIT or one of the mode buttons (RADIO, MEDIA, etc.).
