Voice Recognition

The CCC command "Options" in the voice recognition system has been renamed to "Language options". The reason for this is that the newly created "Options menu" is accessed with the "Options" command.

In addition to the display language, the input and output language used in the voice recognition system can also be selected. Beeps are no longer heard between the individual dialog steps and it is possible to choose between "Default" and "Short" voice dialog commands.

Default dialog:

SYSTEM: "Please name the town"

USER: "Munich" - shown on display

SYSTEM: "Name the number of the correct entry and say new entry"

USER: "Entry one"

Short dialog:

SYSTEM: "Town"

USER: "Munich" - shown on display

SYSTEM: "Which entry"?

USER: "One"

Favorite Buttons

There are six favorite buttons available in the CIC.

The favorite buttons have the following operating modes:

• Short press, activates the button's assigned function
• Long press, storage of functions currently displayed and selected in the CID

The Long press function is capable of storing the following selections:

• Radio stations
• CD, DVD player
• DVD changer access
• Phone numbers
• Navigation destinations (these must already be stored under "Contacts" or entered from "Last destinations")

A new feature in this system is the option of assigning any of the sub-menus such as "Navigation" or "Vehicle info" to the favorite buttons.
