Skoda Fabia: Voice control

Skoda Fabia Owners Manual

Dialogue

The period of time during which the system is ready to receive voice commands and to carry them out is called a dialogue. The system gives audible feedback and guides you if necessary through the relevant functions.

Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on several factors.

• Speak with a normal tone of voice without intonation and excessive pauses.
• Avoid a bad pronunciation.
• Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, to reduce or stop disturbing exterior noise.
• It is recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the tone of your voice is louder than the increased surrounding noise.
• During the dialogue, limit additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. passengers talking at the same time.
• Do not speak, if the system makes an announcement.

The microphone for voice control is inserted in the moulded headliner and directed to the driver and front passenger. Therefore the driver and the front passenger can operate the equipment.

Entering a phone number

The telephone number can be entered as a continuous series of individually spoken digits (the whole number at once) or in the form of digital blocks (separated by short pauses). After each order of digits (separation through brief voice pause) all of the digits detected up to now are repeated by the system.

The digits 0 - 9, symbols +, , # are
permitted. The system detects no continuous digit combinations such as twenty-three, but only individually spoken digits (two, three).

Voice commands

Basic voice commands

a) On vehicles fitted with the Amundsen+ navigation system, this function can be accessed via the navigation system menu; refer to the » Operating instructions for the Amundsen+ navigation system.

If a voice command is not detected, the system answers with “Sorry?”, and a new attempt can be made. After the 2nd error the system repeats the aid. After the 3rd. failed attempt, the answer “Cancelled” is given and the dialogue is ended.

Store voice recording of a contact

Your own voice tag can also be saved using the voice control in the FURTHER OPTIONS menu.
