Voice input
Voice input system
*
The principle
The voice input system enables you to
operate various items of equipment on your
car without having to take your hands off
the steering wheel. You do this by means of
spoken commands that you will easily pick
up once you have used them a few times.
Your inputs take the form of commands or
dialogues. You are guided through the
dialogues by announcements or questions.
The voice input system converts your
commands and dialogues into control
signals for the system in question.
Please familiarise yourself with the
operating principle for each item of
equipment before attempting to operate it
via the voice input system. At the time of
going to print, the voice input system was
available in a choice of German, English
and Italian. Other languages are in prepara-
tion.
