Notes
More information about voice control of
the telephone appears on page 164.<
When using voice control, note the following:
> Do not use the voice control system for
emergency calls. In stress situations, the
spoken language and voice pitch can
change. This delays establishment of a tel-
ephone connection unnecessarily.
> Pronounce the commands and numbers
fluently and at normal volume, avoiding
unnatural emphases and pauses while
speaking. This also applies to spelling out
and saying an entire word for destination
input.
> When selecting a radio station, use the
standard pronunciation of the station name.
> When making entries in the voice-activated
phone book, use only names in the lan-
guage of the voice control system, and do
not use abbreviations.
> Keep doors, windows and the glass roof
* or
Panorama glass roof
* closed to avoid noise
interference from outside the car.
> Avoid background noises in the car while
you are speaking.
