Control systems Voice Control introduction Spelling You may not need to spell the entire name (street, intersection, city or point of interest) especially if the name is lengthy. Spelling the first three to five characters of the name should be sufficient for the system to recognize the name provided it is available on the navigation DVD. The selection appearing on the COMAND display is sorted based on your recognized voice input and a matching algorithm. You can use the commands "Next page" or "Previous page" to scroll up or down in the list. Use the command "Correction" to start over by again spelling the name. Speak each character as clearly as you can, especially when they sound very similar (d or e). Command types The Voice Control System commands can be categorized as: RGeneral Active System The active system is the system currently shown in the COMAND display. If, for example, you listen to the radio while the telephone system is active on the COMAND display, you have to switch to the radio using the command "Radio" before you can operate the radio. Commands These are commands always available to you as soon as the Voice Control System is activated (for example "Help" commands). Commands These are commands specific to the currently active system shown in the COMAND display (for example commands to control the CD/DVD changer). RLocal Controls Operation via the multifunction steering wheel For a complete list of commands (Y page 271). i During Voice Control System operation visual help windows also appear in the COMAND display (Y page 251). 250
