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. BMW will not accept any liability for damage resulting from in‐ stallation of parts and accessories not approved by BMW. BMW cannot test every product made by other manufacturers to verify if it can be used on a BMW safely and without risk to either the vehicle, its operation, or its occupants. Genuine BMW Parts, BMW Accessories and other prod‐ ucts approved by BMW, together with profes‐ sional advice on using these items, are available from all BMW centers.

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.

▷ 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

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.

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.
