Please take the time to read this Owner's Manual and familiarize yourself with the information that we have compiled for you before starting off in your new vehicle. It contains important data and instructions intended to assist you in gaining maximum use and satisfaction from your BMW's unique range of technical features. The manual also contains information on maintenance designed to enhance operating safety and contribute to maintaining the value of your BMW throughout an extended service life.

Voice command

Voice command*

Voice command system

The concept

The voice command system allows you to control operation of various vehicle systems without ever removing your hands from the steering wheel. The system operates on the basis of voice commands that you will learn easily after using them a few times. In many cases, the voice command system supports you with announcements or questions while you are making your entries.

The voice command system transforms your oral commands and dialog answers into control signals for the selected systems.

Either the system that you are now operating or any current error messages will appear in the Info Display, refer to page 27.

Voice commands

Voice command system activation

Briefly press the button on the steering wheel.

A signal tone and "SVS active" in the Info Display, refer to page 27, indicate that the system is ready for use. You are automatically in the main menu.

rather you can say directly

1. {Dial number}

2. Enter the phone number.

Notes

Do not use the voice command system to make emergency calls. Your voice and habitual tone could be affected by stressful situations, as a result of which the process of establishing the telephone

connection could be unnecessarily delayed. Instead, use the emergency call button near the interior rearview mirror, refer to page 177.<

Environmental conditions

The voice command system uses a special hands-free microphone located in the front of your vehicle's headliner. Although the system is designed to filter out ambient noise, you can help ensure that your commands will be understood by observing the following instructions:

>Speak smoothly and clearly, at a normal volume. Do not place any unusual stress on individual syllables, and avoid pauses

>Do not speak while the voice command system is talking

>Keep the doors, windows and glass roof closed to prevent interference from ambient noise

>Avoid other sources of noise in the vehicle while speaking, and ask other vehicle occupants to refrain from talking while you are using the system

>The hands-free microphone is aimed toward the driver. This means that the system might not be able to register the voices of other vehicle occupants properly.
