The voice activation system allows you to con-
trol operation of various vehicle systems with-
out ever 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.

oral commands into control signals for the 
selected systems and provides support in the 
form of instructions or questions.

microphone located in the area of the interior 
rearview mirror, refer to page

Via iDrive, set the language that applies for the 
voice activation system in order to enable iden-
tification of the spoken commands. To set the
