Commands

When you press the talk button

the command display with a list of possible commands for the active menu will appear. The command display can be switched on or off in the Setup MMI menu Link.

The speech dialogue system uses two types of command:

Global commands (irrespective of the current mode), e.g. NAVIGATION^*
Commands of the mode that is currently active, e.g. FAVOURITES in Navigation^* mode

The overview of commands Fig. 1 gives you a general outline of the most important commands of the speech dialogue system.

Help commands

If the speech dialogue system is activated Link, you can say a help command. Important commands are:

HELP
HELP SPEECH DIALOGUE SYSTEM
HELP TELEPHONE^*
HELP NAVIGATION^*
HELP MAP
HELP INFO
HELP RADIO
HELP MEDIA

Say the command BACK to return to the Help menu that was last activated.

Selecting an entry from a list

The entries in a list, e.g. missed calls^*, help topics, road names etc., are displayed with position numbers on the MMI display Fig. 3. You can select a line by saying the line number, e.g. LINE FOUR or by repeating the entry shown in the MMI display. You can also select an entry via the MMI by turning the rotary pushbutton to mark the entry and pressing the rotary pushbutton.

Give the commands NEXT PAGE or PREVIOUS PAGE to scroll up and down the list.

Voice guidance ¹⁾

To switch the voice guidance cues for navigation on or off, say the command VOICE GUIDANCE ON or OFF.

Adjusting the volume

To adjust the volume of the spoken cues with the multi-function steering wheel, scroll the right thumbwheel -2- Fig. 4 up or down while the system is playing a cue.

You can also adjust the volume of the speech dialogue system via the main sound functions (Tone) Link or via the Setup MMI menu Link.

Guided dialogue assistance

If the speech dialogue system is switched on Link and you do not say a command, the speech dialogue system will say Please enter a command or say help. If you still give no command, the speech dialogue system will suggest important commands.

Example of guided dialogue assistance (telephone^* function activated):

Speech control is possible for all main functions (except Car and Tone) that are currently displayed on the MMI screen or are running in the background (e.g. radio).
You can interrupt a spoken cue from the speech dialogue system at any time by pressing the talk button on the multi-function steering wheel Fig. 4; you can now enter a new command.
You can also adjust the volume by turning the ON/OFF button Link.
