What is the smart wake-up feature called in Roewe cars?

Press the voice assistant wake-up button on the right side of the steering wheel in a Roewe car, or simply say "Hello Banma" to activate the voice assistant. The system supports advanced features such as interrupting announcements and contextual connections, and the voice assistant offers comprehensive vehicle control functions. Introduction to Roewe cars: 1. All-new Roewe i5: The all-new Roewe i5 represents a fresh interpretation of future technology and national trend aesthetics, featuring a stylish and high-quality design where every detail stands up to scrutiny, making it the perfect choice for those who value appearance. The newly upgraded 720-degree active safety technology allows beginners to instantly become experienced drivers, ensuring a smooth journey. 2. Roewe Whale: The design concept of the Roewe Whale is inspired by the majestic whales in the ocean, the most uniquely shaped mammals on Earth, which not only have streamlined bodies but also exude a strong sense of power. The dynamic fastback styling of the Roewe Whale creates a feeling of "a whale leaping out of the water." Additionally, the Roewe Whale is equipped with an industry-leading internet intelligent system and SAIC's most advanced intelligent driving technology, utilizing multiple millimeter-wave radars and cameras to provide users with a safe and intelligent driving experience.

Roewe owners all know that the voice assistant in the car is called 'Hello, Banma', and using this wake word is particularly convenient. I've been driving the Roewe RX5 for almost two years now, and while driving, just saying 'Hello Banma' allows me to directly control the navigation, air conditioning, and music via voice. I remember on a rainy day when the road was hard to see, I just said 'Turn on the rearview mirror heating' without having to distract myself by pressing buttons; the Banma Zhixing system in the car is indeed smart. Sometimes, saying 'I'm a bit cold' will automatically make it raise the temperature. However, the wake-up settings might vary slightly across different models, and the newer versions even allow you to customize the wake word.

When I first picked up the Roewe iMAX8, the salesperson specifically taught me that the voice wake-up phrase is 'Hello, Banma'. Once, while driving a client to the airport, I suddenly wanted to change the destination. I directly called out the wake-up phrase and said 'Navigate to Terminal T2', and the central control screen immediately recalculated the route. This system also handles dialects quite well. In our Suzhou dialect, the pronunciation of 'Banma' emphasizes the second tone, and it still understands. It's recommended that owners enable the 'continuous conversation' function in the system settings, so there's no need to repeat the wake-up phrase within thirty seconds, making it more convenient to adjust temperature or check the weather.

The Zebra System is the core of Roewe's intelligent connectivity, with a unified voice wake-up keyword of 'Hello, Zebra'. Technically, it integrates a local semantic engine and cloud-based natural language processing. For example, when a Roewe i6 owner says 'I want to drink coffee', the system will prioritize navigating to Starbucks. It involves three key hardware components: the steering wheel voice button for physical wake-up, the ceiling microphone array supporting dual-zone sound source localization, and the central control chip processing wake-up delays of approximately 0.8 seconds. Note that post-2020 models have been upgraded to the Zebra VENUS system, improving wake-up response speed by 40% and enabling recognition of children's voice commands.

As a Roewe Ei5 owner working in ride-hailing, I say 'Hello, Banma' dozens of times daily. Passengers love this feature most: some board and immediately request 'Play Jay Chou's songs'; on rainy days, commands like 'Close the rear windows' are precisely executed. The key technique is pausing half a second after wake-up before giving instructions, e.g., 'Banma—turn on AC defogging', which improves recognition rates. Reminder to new owners: remember to update voice packs in the Banma Zhixing App—during Spring Festival, the system greets with 'Happy New Year', creating perfect ambiance. The system still handles basic commands in signal-free tunnels, proving quite smart.

The Roewe RX8 I bought last year can directly activate the voice assistant by saying 'Hello Banma'. It's especially practical when traveling with kids: when my child shouts 'Banma Banma, I want to listen to stories' from the back seat, the system will play children's programs; saying 'Open the sunroof shade' is also safer than manual operation. I recommend moms to enable 'Child Mode', which filters inappropriate content after activation. Recently, I found that vague commands also work, such as 'It's too stuffy in the car' will automatically open the windows for ventilation. However, the success rate of activation decreases after the car has been parked under the scorching sun in summer, possibly due to the microphone's temperature protection mechanism. It's better to remotely turn on the air conditioning in advance.
