Voice Control System introduction 217

Voice Control System introduction Safety notes G Warning! Only use the Voice Control System when road and traffic conditions permit you to do so. Otherwise you could be involved in an accident in which you or others could be injured. G Warning! Please devote your attention first and foremost to the traffic situation you are in. While the system permits hands-free phone operation, attention to traffic may be diverted not only by physical operation of a phone, but also by the distraction of a phone conversation while driving. As such, for safety reasons, we encourage the driver to stop the vehicle in a safe place before answering or placing a phone call. For safety reasons, you should only select a destination when the vehicle is stationary. While the navigation system provides directional assistance, the driver must remain focused on safe driving behavior, especially attention to traffic and street signs, and should utilize the system’s audio cues while driving. The navigation system does not supply any information on stop signs, yield signs, traffic regulations or traffic safety rules. Their observance always remains in the driver’s personal responsibility. Maps do not cover all areas nor all routes within an area. Traffic regulations always have priority over any route recommendations given. Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph (approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every second.

G Warning! Navigation announcements are intended to direct you while driving without diverting your attention from the road and driving. Please always use navigation announcements instead of consulting the map display for directions. Consulting the symbols or map display for directions may cause you to divert your attention from driving and increase your risk of an accident. G Warning! Please do not use the Voice Control System in an emergency, as the tone of your voice may change in a stressful situation. This could cause a delay in completing your phone call in a timely manner. This could distract you in an emergency situation and cause you to be involved in an accident.

General information Depending on vehicle equipment, you can operate the following systems via the Voice Control System: RTelephone (Y page 225) RNavigation (Y page 219) RAddress book (Y page 229) RAudio (Y page 231) (AM/FM radio,

Satellite radio, CD/DVD changer, MP3
mode (SD card, USB, Music Register, Media Interface), AUX)

RVideo You control these systems using spoken commands. Moreover, controls such as the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel (Y page 218) allow you to keep your hands on the steering wheel. The Voice Control System recognizes commands and number sequences, irrespective of the speaker. To optimize speech recognition for your voice follow the individualization process (Y page 250).

218 Voice Control System introduction

You can use the Voice Control System to call up all of COMAND’s main menu items. The commands can be spoken without pausing between the individual words. If an unavailable or incorrect command is used, the Voice Control System will prompt you for a new command by asking “Please repeat” or “Please repeat your entry”. The Voice Control System will confirm important commands and inform you in case of incorrect entries. i To support the user, the Voice Control

System contains an extensive help function (Y page 247). You can use the commands “Continue” or “Back” to scroll up or down in lists. The command “Correction” lets you repeat the entry.

Controls Operation via the multifunction steering wheel The Voice Control System is operational approximately 30 seconds after switching on the COMAND.
