Voice activation system
The concept The voice activation system allows you to con- trol operation of various vehicle systems with- out removing your hands from the steering wheel. Individual menu items on the Control Display can be spoken as commands. It is not neces- sary to use the controller. The voice activation system transforms your oral commands into control signals for the selected systems and provides support in the form of instructions or questions. The voice activation system uses a special microphone located in the area of the interior rearview mirror, refer to page 14.
Precondition Via iDrive, select the language in which the voice activation system is operating, so that the spoken commands can be identified. Selecting the language for iDrive, refer to page 78.
Symbols in the Owner's Manual
{...} Say the specified commands word for word. {{...}} Indicates responses of the voice acti- vation system.
Saying commands
Activating voice activation system 1. Press the
button on the steering wheel.
This symbol on the Control Display and an acoustic signal indicate that the voice activation system is ready to receive spo- ken commands.
2. Say the command.
The command appears on the Control Dis- play.
This symbol appears on the Control Display
when you can enter additional commands. If no further commands are possible, continue by operating the item of equipment via iDrive.
Terminating or canceling voice activation system Press the or
button on the steering wheel
{Cancel}
In dialogs that call for a text of your choice, the procedure can only be canceled using the but- ton on the steering wheel.
Possible commands The commands available in each case depend on the menu item selected on the Control Dis- play. To have the available commands read aloud:
{Voice commands}
For example, if "CD/DVD" is selected, the com- mands for operating CD/Multimedia are read aloud .
22
ba8_E9091_cic.book Seite 23 Mittwoch, 29. Oktober 2008 2:59 14
Using alternative commands There are often a number of commands to run a function, e.g.:
{Radio on} or {Radio}
Calling up functions immediately via short commands Short commands enable you to perform certain functions immediately, irrespective of which menu item is selected, refer to page 243.
Example: selecting the track of a CD 1.
If necessary, switch on entertainment audio output.
2. Press the
button on the steering wheel.
3. Select the music track, e.g.:
{CD track 4} System says: {{Track 4}}
Setting the voice dialog You can set whether the system should use the standard dialog or a shorter variant. In the shorter variant of the voice dialog, the prompts and responses from the system are abbrevi- ated. 1. "Settings" 2. "Language/Units" 3. "Speech mode:"
Notes
For information on voice control of the telephone, refer to page 175.<
For voice commands, bear in mind the follow- ing: > Do not use the voice activation system to
initiate an Emergency Request. In stressful situations, the voice and vocal pitch can change. This can unnecessarily delay the establishment of a telephone connection.
> Pronounce the commands and digits
smoothly and at normal volume, avoiding excessive emphases and pauses. This also applies when spelling out and saying a full word during destination entry.
> When selecting a radio station, use the
standard pronunciation of the station name.
> For entries in the voice-activated phone
book, only use names in the language of the voice activation system and no abbrevia- tions.
> Keep the doors, windows and glass roof/
panorama glass roof closed to prevent interference from outside noise.
> Avoid ambient noise in the vehicle while
speaking.
4. To select the setting:
> "Default" > "Short"

Controls Controls
This chapter is intended to provide you with information for complete control of your vehicle. All features and accessories that are useful for driving and your safety, comfort and convenience, are described here.
ba8_E9091_cic.book Seite 26 Mittwoch, 29. Oktober 2008 2:59 14
Opening and closing
Remote control
Each remote control contains a rechargeable battery that is automatically recharged when it is in the ignition lock while the car is being driven. Use each remote control at least twice a year for longer road trips in order to maintain the batteries' charge status. In cars with convenient access*, the remote control contains a replace- able battery, refer to page 35. The settings called up and implemented when the car is unlocked depend on which remote control is used to unlock the car, refer to Per- sonal Profile, next column. In addition, information about service require- ments is stored in the remote control, refer to Service data in the remote control, page 216.
Integrated key
Press button 1 to release the key. The integrated key fits the following locks: > Glove compartment, refer to page 102
> Driver's door, refer to page 2926
New remote controls Your BMW center can supply new remote con- trols with integrated keys as additional units or as replacements in the event of loss.
Personal Profile
The concept You can set many of your BMW's functions to suit your personal needs and preferences. Without any action on your part, Personal Pro- file ensures that most of these settings are stored for the remote control currently in use. When you unlock the car, the remote control used for the purpose is recognized and the set- tings stored for it are called up and imple- mented. This means that your personal settings will be activated for you, even if in the meantime your car was used by someone else with another remote control and the corresponding settings. The individual settings are stored for a maxi- mum of four remote controls. They are stored for two remote controls if convenient access* is in use.
Personal Profile settings For more information on specific settings, refer to the specified pages. > Assignment of programmable memory
