- Avoid background noise in the passenger compartment by having the doors, windows and sunroof closed.
Voice recognition can be deactivated as follows:
- by saying "Cancel".
- with a long press on the voice recognition button on the steering wheel .
To speed up communication and skip the prompts from the system, press the steering wheel button for voice recognition when the system voice is speaking and say the next command.
