Possible commands
Most menu items on the Control Display can be voiced as commands.
The available commands depend on which menu is currently displayed on the Control Display.
There are short commands for functions of the main menu.
Some list entries, e.g. Phone book entries, can also be selected via the voice activation system.
Speak these list entries exactly as they are displayed in the respective list.
Having possible commands read aloud
You can have the available commands read out loud for you: ›Voice commands‹ For example, if the "Settings" menu is displayed, the commands for the settings are read out loud.
Executing functions using short commands
Functions on the main menu can be performed directly by means of short commands, nearly irrespective of which menu item is currently selected, e.g., ›Vehicle status‹.
