To operate the phone by voice, refer to 
page
<
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.
>
Pronounce the commands and digits 
smoothly and at normal volume, avoiding 
excessive emphases and pauses. This also 
applies when spelling out and saying a full 
word during destination entry.
>
When selecting a radio station, use the 
standard 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 abbrevia-
tions.
>
Keep the doors, windows and glass roof/
panorama glass roof closed to prevent 
interference from outside noise.
>
Avoid ambient noise in the vehicle while 
speaking.
