Introduction

You can use the individualization function to fine tune the Voice Control System to your voice and therefore improve voice recognition. This means that other users' voices will not be recognized as easily. For this reason this function can be switched off.

Individualization comprises two parts and takes approximately 5 minutes. It consists of training the system to recognize a certain number of digit sequences and voice commands.

Starting new individualization

Individualization can only be started when the vehicle is stationary. Before starting, switch off all devices or functions which could interfere, such as the radio or the navigation system. After starting the session, the system guides you through the training with spoken instructions.
