Editorial notice

BMW pursues a policy of continuous, ongoing development that is conceived to ensure that our vehicles continue to embody the highest quality and safety standards combined with advanced, state-of-the-art technology. For this re as on, i t i s po ss ibl e t hat th e fe at ur es d es cri be d in this Owner's Manual could differ from those on your vehicle.

For your own safety

Maintenance and repairs
Advanced technology, e.g. the use of
modern materials and high-performance electronics, requires specially adapted mainte­nance and repair methods. Therefore, have cor­responding work on your BMW performed only by your BMW center or a workshop that works according to BMW repair procedures with cor­respondingly trained personnel. If this work is not carried out properly, there is a danger of subsequent damage and related safety haz­ards.<

Parts and accessories
For your own safety, use genuine parts and accessories approved by BMW.
When you purchase accessories tested and
Notes
approved by BMW and Genuine BMW Parts, you simultaneously acquire the assurance that they have been thoroughly tested by BMW to ensure optimum performance when installed on your vehicle. BMW warrants these parts to be free from defects in material and workmanship. BMW will not accept any liability for damage resulting from installation of parts and accesso­ries not approved by BMW. BMW cannot test every product made by other manufacturers to verify if it can be used on a BMW safely and without risk to either the vehi­cle, its operation or its occupants. Genuine BMW Parts, BMW Accessories and other products approved by BMW, together with professional advice on using these items, are available from all BMW centers. Installation and operation of non BMW approved accessories such as alarms, radios, amplifiers, radar detectors, wheels, suspension components, brake dust shields, telephones, including operation of any mobile phone from within the vehicle without using an externally mounted antenna, or transceiver equipment such as CBs, walkie-talkies, ham radios or the like may cause extensive damage to the vehicle, compromise its safety, interfere with the vehi­cle's electrical system, or affect the validity of the BMW Limited Warranty. See your BMW center for additional information.<
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of
the emission control devices and sys­tems may be performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual using any cer­tified automotive part.<
California Proposition 65 Warning
California law requires us to issue the following warning:
Engine exhaust and a wide variety of
automobile components and parts, including components found in the interior fur­nishings in a vehicle, contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Battery posts, terminals and related accesso­ries contain lead and lead compounds. Wash your hands after handling. Used engine oil contains chemicals that have caused cancer in laboratory animals. Always protect your skin by washing thoroughly with soap and water.<

Voice activation system

*

The concept

The voice activation system allows you to con­trol operation of various vehicle systems with­out removing your hands from the steering wheel.
Individual menu items on the Control Display can be spoken as commands. This frees you of having to use the controller.
The voice activation system transforms your oral commands into control signals for the selected systems and provides support in the form of instructions or questions.
The voice activation system includes a special microphone.
Voice activation system
The microphone is located:
> Near the interior rearview mirror in the
Coupe, refer to page 14
> On the steering column in the Convertible
Precondition
Via iDrive, set the language that applies for the voice activation system in order to enable iden­tification of the spoken commands. To set the language of iDrive, refer to page 80.

Voice commands

Activating voice activation system
1. Press the button.
This symbol on the Control Display and an acoustic signal tell you that the voice activation system can respond to com­mands.
Symbols in Owner's Manual
{...} Say the specified commands word for word. {{...}} Indicates responses of the voice acti­vation system.
22
2. Say the command.
The command is displayed on the Control Display.
This symbol is shown on the Control Display when you can input additional commands. If no other commands are possible, then oper­ate the equipment via iDrive.
Terminating or canceling voice command
Press the button on the steering wheel or
{Cancel}
In dialogs that call for a text of your choice, the
procedure can only be canceled using the but­ton on the steering wheel.
Possible commands
The commands available in each case depend on the menu item selected on the Control Dis­play. To have the possible commands read aloud:
{Voice commands}
For example, if "CD/DVD" is selected, the com­mands for operating CD/Multimedia are read aloud.
Calling up functions immediately via short commands
Short commands enable you to perform certain functions immediately, irrespective of which menu item is selected, refer to page 228.
An example: selecting the track of a CD
1. Switch on Entertainment sound output if
necessary.
2. Press the button on the steering wheel.
3. Select the music track, e.g.:
{CD track 4} System says: {{Track 4}}
Setting the voice dialog
You can set whether the system should use the standard dialog or a shorter variant. In the shorter variant of the voice dialog, the prompts and responses from the system are abbrevi­ated.
1. "Settings"
2. "Language/Units"
3. "Speech mode:"
4. Select a setting:
> "Default"
> "Short"

Notes

To operate the phone by voice, refer to page 179.<
For voice commands, bear in mind the follow­ing:
> Do not use the voice activation system to
initiate an Emergency Request. In stressful situations, the voice and vocal pitch can change. This can unnecessarily delay the establishment of a telephone connection.
> Say the commands and numbers smoothly
and at normal volume, avoiding excessive emphasis and pauses. This also applies when spelling out and saying a full word during destination entry.
> When selecting a radio station, use the
common pronunciation of the station name.
> For entries in the voice-activated phone
book, only use names in the language of the voice activation system and no abbrevia­tions.
> Keep the doors, windows and glass sun-
roof
*
or convertible top closed to prevent
interference from ambient noise.
> Avoid making other noise in the vehicle
while speaking.

Personal Profile

The concept
You can set a number of functions of your BMW individually according to your preferences. Per­sonal Profile ensures that most of these set­tings are stored for the remote control currently in use without you having to do anything. When
the vehicle is unlocked, the corresponding
remote control is detected and the settings stored for it are called up and carried out.
This means that you will always find your BMW set to your own personal settings even if another person with his/her own remote control and settings has used the vehicle since the last time you drove it. The individual settings are stored for a maximum of four remote controls,
