System limits
▷ The Personal Assistant provides information
about vehicle functions that may not be in‐
stalled in the vehicle.
This also applies to safety-relevant functions
and systems.
▷ Certain noises may be detected and could
cause problems. Keep doors and windows
closed.
▷ Noises from the front passenger or the pas‐
sengers can impair the system. Avoid back‐
ground noise in the vehicle while you are
speaking.
▷ Strong dialects may prevent speech recogni‐
tion from working properly.
▷ A poor data connection influences the re‐
sponse time of the Personal Assistant and
the Search.
