Therefore, have this work performed only by a BMW center or a workshop that works accord‐ ing to BMW repair procedures with appropri‐ ately trained personnel. If this work is not carried out properly, there is the danger of subsequent damage and related safety hazards. Parts and accessories For your own safety, use genuine parts and ac‐ cessories approved by BMW. When you pur‐ chase accessories tested and approved by BMW and Genuine BMW Parts, you simultane‐ ously acquire the assurance that they have been thoroughly tested by BMW to ensure optimum performance when installed on your vehicle. BMW warrants these parts to be free from de‐ fects in material and workmanship.

See your BMW center for additional information. Maintenance, re‐ placement, or repair of the emission control de‐ vices and systems may be performed by any au‐ tomotive repair establishment or individual using any certified automotive part.

Voice activation system* The concept ▷ The voice activation system can be used to operate functions by means of spoken com‐ mands. The system prompts you to make your entries.


▷ Functions that can only be used when the vehicle is stationary cannot be operated us‐ ing the voice activation system.


▷ The system uses a special microphone lo‐ cated in the area of the interior rearview mir‐ ror.


▷ ›...‹ Verbal instructions in the Owner's


Manual to use with the voice activation sys‐ tem.


Requirements Via the Control Display, set a language that is also supported by the voice activation system so that the spoken commands can be identified. Set the language, refer to page 80.

2. Wait for the signal. 3. Say the command.


The command appears on the Control Dis‐ play.


The symbol on the Control Display indicates


that the voice activation system is active. If no other commands are available, continue operating the function via iDrive.


Terminating the voice activation system Briefly press the button on the steering wheel or ›Cancel‹.


Possible commands Most menu items on the Control Display can be voiced as commands. The available commands depend on the menu that is currently displayed on the Control Dis‐ play. The functions of the main menu have short com‐ mands. Some list items, such as the phone book en‐ tries*, can also be selected via the voice activa‐ tion system. Say the list items exactly as they are displayed on the list. Having possible commands read aloud To have the available commands read out loud: ›Voice commands‹ For example, if the "Settings" menu is displayed, the commands for the settings are read out loud. Executing functions using short commands Functions on the main menu can be performed directly by means of short commands, irrespec‐ tive of which menu item is currently selected, for instance ›Vehicle status‹. List of short commands of the voice activation system, refer to page 295. Help dialog for the voice activation system Calling up help dialog: ›Help‹ Additional commands for the help dialog: ▷ ›Help with examples‹: information about the current operating options and the most im‐ portant commands for them are announced.

Select the setting.


Adjusting the volume Turn the volume button while giving an instruc‐ tion until the desired volume is set. ▷ The volume remains constant even if the volume of other audio sources is changed. ▷ The volume is stored for the remote control


currently in use.


Notes on Emergency Requests 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 tel‐ ephone connection. Instead, use the SOS button*, refer to page 280, in the vicinity of the interior mirror.


Environmental conditions ▷ Say the commands, numbers, and letters smoothly and with normal volume, empha‐ sis, and speed.


▷ Always say commands in the language of


the voice activation system.


▷ When selecting a radio station, use the com‐


mon pronunciation of the station name. ▷ Keep doors, windows and */panoramic


glass sunroof* closed to prevent noise in‐ terference.


▷ Avoid making other noise in the vehicle


while speaking.
