Starting voice control

Voice commands are given
through a "dialog" with the
voice control system. Press
the button for voice control

on the right-side steering

wheel keypad to activate the
system and initiate a voice

command dialog. When you press the button,
a beep will sound and the voice control sym-
bol will appear in the instrument panel.

This shows that the system has begun listen-
ing and you can now begin speaking com-
mands. As soon as you start speaking, the
system will be trained to recognize and under-
stand your voice. This takes several seconds
and is done automatically, which means that
you don't need to manually initiate any voice
training.

These may include:

•

Wait until after the tone, and then speak in
your normal voice at a normal speed.

•

Do not speak while the system is respond-
ing (the system is unable to process com-
mands during this time).

•

Avoid background noises in the passenger
compartment by keeping doors, windows
and the panoramic roof

closed.

Not all system languages support voice
control. If a language supports voice con-
trol, it is marked with a

symbol in the

list of available system languages. Read
more about where the information is found
in the section on voice control settings.

Generally, the system will listen for a basic
command that is then followed by more
detailed commands specifying what you want
the system to do.

To change the audio volume of the system,
turn the volume knob while the voice is speak-
ing. It is possible to use other buttons while
voice commands are being given. However,
because other audio is silenced during dialog
with the system, it is not possible to perform

any functions connected to audio using the
buttons.

Canceling voice control

To cancel voice control, do one of the follow-
ing:

•

Briefly press

and say "

Cancel

•

Press and hold the steering wheel key-
pad's voice command button

until

two audible signals are given. This cancels
voice control even when the system is
speaking.

Voice control will also be canceled if you do
not respond during a dialog. The system will
first ask three times for a response and if the
response is still not given, voice control will be
automatically canceled.

To speed up communication and skip prompts
from the system, press the voice control but-
ton

on the steering wheel keypad. This

will interrupt the system's response and you
can say the next command.

Voice command examples

1. Tap

2. Say "

Call [First name]

[Last name]

[number category]

", e.g. "

Call Robyn

Smith

cellular

> The system will call the selected con-

tact from the phone book. If the contact
has several phone numbers (e.g. home,
cell, work), the right category must also
be given.

Commands/phrases

The following commands can usually be used
in any situation:

•

Repeat

" - repeats the most recent voice

command in the current dialog.

•

Cancel

" - cancels the dialog.

•

Help

" - initiates a help dialog. The sys-

tem responds with commands that can be
used in the current situation, an instruc-
tion or an example.

Commands for specific functions, such as
phone and audio, are described in the sections
related to that function.

Note that this only cancels the dialog when the system is not speaking. To do this, press and hold

until you hear two beeps.

three" (03122443).

•

Addresses

can be given by stating each

number individually or in a group, e.g.
"two, two" or "twenty-two" (22). For Eng-
lish and Dutch language settings, groups
of numbers can also be said in sequence,
e.g. "twenty-two, twenty-two" (22 22).
For English, double or triple digits can also
be used, e.g. "double zero" (00). Numbers
in the range 0-2300 can be used.

•

Frequencies

can be given as "ninety-eight

point eight" (98.8), "one hundred four
point two" or "hundred and four point
two" (104.2).

Active high beam

Active high beams is a function that uses
camera sensors in the upper edge of the
windshield to detect the headlights of
approaching vehicles or the taillights of the
vehicle directly ahead. When either of these
is detected, the vehicle's headlights will auto-
matically switch from high beams to low
beams.

Active high beams is indicated by the

symbol.

This function can be used in dark conditions
when the vehicle's speed is approx. 20 km/h
(approx. 12 mph) or higher. The function can
also detect street lighting. When the camera
sensor no longer detects an approaching vehi-
cle or a vehicle ahead, the headlights will
return to high beams after a second or two.

Activating active high beams

Active high beams can be activated and deac-
tivated by turning the lighting ring on the left-
side steering wheel lever to position

The lighting ring will then return to

When active high beams are activated, a white

symbol will be displayed in the instru-

ment panel. When high beams are on, the
symbol will be blue.

If active high beams are deactivated when the
high beams are on, the headlights will auto-
matically switch to low beams.

Limitations for active high beams

The camera sensor on which the function is
based has limitations.

If this symbol and the message

Active High Beam

Temporarily

unavailable

is displayed in the

instrument panel, switching

between high and low beams must be done
manually. The

symbol will go out when

the message is displayed.

The same applies if this symbol
along with the message

Windscreen sensor

Sensor

blocked, see Owner's manual

displayed.

Active high beams may be temporarily unavail-
able in certain situations, e.g. heavy fog or

rain. When active high beams become availa-
ble again, or the windshield sensors are no
longer blocked, the message will disappear
and the

symbol will be displayed.

WARNING

Automatic high beam is an aid in using the

best possible light based on prevailing con-

ditions.
The driver is always responsible for man-

ually switching between high and low

beam when traffic situations or weather

conditions require this.
