“Guide me to [city, street, number]”. You will find further
examples in the infotainment system. Command-based voice
operation can be executed in any of the available languages ÿ

Voice control only recognizes commands in the language
that is set in the infotainment system.
Keep in mind the following tips so that the commands work
correctly:
wake word
ÿ Speak clearly and in a normal tone. Speak a little louder if
you are driving fast.
Words spoken in the vehicle are checked in the ring memory
of the infotainment system to recognize the trigger word.
Voice control starts when the infotainment system recognizes
the activation word. The ring memory overwrites itself every
15 seconds repeatedly. With the wake word off, the ring
buffer remains inactive. No transmission of data or words
spoken in the vehicle takes place.
ÿ Avoid a strong accent or dialect. ÿ Do not take
very long breaks. ÿ Avoid external and background
noise. ÿ Do not direct the air stream coming from the
diffusers towards the microphone or towards the ceiling.
