Vehicle features and options
Using voice activation
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features that are not
necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and
systems. The respectively applicable country
provisions must be observed when using the
respective features and systems.
Activating the voice activation system
1.
Press button on the steering
wheel.
2. Wait for the signal.
3. Say the command.
A command that is recognized by the voice
activation system is announced and dis‐
played in the instrument cluster.
This symbol in the instrument cluster indi‐
cates that the voice activation system is active.
The concept
▷
Most functions displayed on the Control
Display can be operated by voice com‐
mands via the voice activation system. The
system supports you with announcements
during input.
If no other commands are available, use func‐
tion via iDrive.
Terminating the voice activation
system
▷
Functions that can only be used when the
vehicle is stationary cannot be used via the
voice activation system.
Briefly press the button on the steer‐
ing wheel or ›Cancel‹.
▷
▷
The system uses a special microphone on
the driver's side.
Possible commands
Most menu items on the Control Display can
be voiced as commands.
›...‹ Verbal instructions in the Owner's
Manual to use with the voice activation
system.
The available commands depend on the menu
that is currently displayed on the Control Dis‐
play.
Requirements
There are short commands for many functions.
Via the Control Display, set a language that is
also supported by the voice activation system
so that the spoken commands can be identi‐
fied.
You may select lists such as phone lists via
voice activation. Read these lists out loud ex‐
actly as they show in the respective list.
Set the language, refer to page 99.
Having possible commands read aloud
You can have available commands read out
loud for you: ›Voice commands‹
E. g. if the "Settings" menu is displayed, the
commands for the settings are read out loud.
