Control System

Ra listing of all available commands

Help commands “Help voice control” Using the command “Help voice control” will give you information on how to best use the Voice Control System.

“Help” X Press button ? on the multifunction steering wheel and speak the command “Help”. You will receive help for the currently selected application.

When you speak the command “Help” during a dialog such as after the command “Dial number”, you will receive help for the next dialog steps. You can also call up the help function specifically for a particular system, for example using the command “Help telephone”.

Help window You can use the help window to view a selection of valid commands on the COMAND display. The help functions can be switched on or off via COMAND in the System menu (Y page 80).

Entering digits and spelling Entering digits RDigits from “Zero” to “Nine” may be used. RSpeaking phone numbers in digit blocks of

3 to 5 digits has proven a very reliable method for the input of phone numbers.

Spelling RThe letters of the English alphabet and the

digits 0 - 9 may be used.

RSpeak the letters in blocks of 5 - 7 letters

at a time.

RSpeak each individual letter clearly.

248 Voice Control System troubleshooting

What to do if ... Problem The Voice Control System does not recognize commands.

Possible cause/consequence You have not operated the system from the driver’s seat.

You have spoken unclearly, too loudly or too quietly.

The blower could be set to the highest setting, vents could be pointing at microphones or wind noise could be created due to open windows. The address book fields for first and last name are completed. However, you only spoke the last name or the first name. Pronunciation of names in the address book does not differ sufficiently or the spelling differs from the pronunciation.

An address book entry without voice name is not recognized.

Suggested solution X Operate the Voice Control System

only by the driver as the microphone is geared to the driver side.

X Speak the commands in a

continuous manner using a normal tone.

X Avoid loud disturbances.

X Say both the first name and the last name of the address book entry.

X Make sure the address book

entries are reasonable. Check the address book entries for the following: RName entries such as first and last name are in the correct field.

RDo not use abbreviations or short forms, e.g. acronyms. RAvoid unnecessary blanks

within the name

RDo not use special characters.

or X Create a voice name

(Y page 227).

or X Speak the command “Read out

address book”. The Voice Control System reads the address book aloud. X Press button ? on the

multifunction steering wheel when the desired name is read.

Voice Control System troubleshooting 249

Possible cause/consequence The voice names do not differ from each other sufficiently.

Problem An address book entry with voice name is not recognized.

Suggested solution X Make voice names that differ as much as possible. For example, make the names Wight and Wright unique by entering them as “Mr Wight office” and “Mr Wright John”.

or X Speak the command “Read out

address book”. The Voice Control System reads the address book aloud. X Press button ? on the

multifunction steering wheel when the desired name is read.

A station list entry is not recognized.

The voice names of the station names do not differ from each other sufficiently.

X Create a voice name for the station

(Y page 233).

or X Speak the command “Read out

station list”. The Voice Control System reads the station list aloud.

X Press button ? on the

multifunction steering wheel when the desired station name is read. The station is selected (Y page 233).

X Pronounce the voice name in the

same way during the entire process.

The way you have spoken the voice name is different.

The Voice Control System prompts you to repeat a voice name repeatedly when saving.

250 Voice Control System individualization

Possible cause/consequence Entering part of an address has failed after several attempts, e.g. due to background noise, or you have tried to enter an address in Puerto Rico (Y page 220).

Suggested solution X Spell the entry.

X Speak the phone number in groups

of digits, e.g. three to five digits each.

Problem You want to enter a city, street or city center but you have to spell the entry. You have entered a phone number as a string but the Voice Control System does not understand you.

The system can be reset to the factory settings at any time. i You may wish to complete only a portion

of the individualization process. Completing the digits portion alone may result in an improved recognition rate. Individualization can be exited at any time. The data trained, however, will only be retained if a given individualization portion is completed and the data is stored when prompted to do so by the system.

Voice Control System individualization

i The individualization can only be

performed when the vehicle is stationary. If you drive off, the individualization will be canceled. After starting the session, the system will guide you through the individualization by means of acoustic instructions.

The individualization is used to adapt the Voice Control System to your own voice and to therefore improve speech recognition. This does not affect the speech recognition of other users. Individualization consists of two stages: RDigits RCommands You can activate individualization in the COMAND system settings (Y page 80). A dialog and screen displays will guide you through the individualization process.
