Voice Control
Voice control (optional)
A voice control system with whole-word input is available for the first time in conjunction with the new hard drive navigation. This system is state-of-the-art and offers relaxing and controlled driving comfort. Your hands can stay on the steering wheel and your eyes on the road. For details of the comprehensive range of options available in the system, see the operating instructions. Here is an overview of the most important functions:
- Voice control is activated by pressing the button on the lower steering-column lever at the left. Almost all PCM functions are now voice-controlled.
- The system is designed so that each menu item can generally be spoken just as it appears on the screen. Commands or number sequences are recognized regardless of who actually speaks. The system does not have to be taught.
- Voice control guides the user interactively through the functions and issues acoustic feedback. Context-specific lists with possible voice commands are also displayed on the screen.
NOTE: Information on compatible mobile phones can be found at www.porsche.com.
Further information can be found in the operating instructions.
Calls based on phone book entries, switching radio stations or entering country, city and street destinations - all this is now performed directly by saying whole words. The system has a high recognition rate. For example, if the city is not recognised immediately in individual cases, the system displays a readable list of possible city names that are phonetically similar. This list is numbered, which means that you can continue simply by saying the relevant number.
The new voice control system is much more convenient and ensures greater safety, particularly when operating the navigation system and the telephone module.
