Navigation51The additional information and phone
number strings are optional. If, e.g.,
no additional information is required,
"" must be entered at the respective
position.

The POI name and the additional
information string may not exceed 60 characters each. The phone number
string may not exceed 30 characters.
The POI data of each destination
address must be entered in a single
separate line, see image above.
Storing the POI data on a USB drive
In the root directory of a USB drive,
create a folder named " myPOIs",
e.g. "F:\myPOIs", where "F:\" is the
root directory of the USB drive.
In the "myPOIs" folder, store the text
file with your POIs, e.g. "F:\myPOIs
\TomsPOIs.poi".Organising the POI data in several
subfolders
Optionally, you can organise the text
files in several randomly named
subfolders (max. depth of subfolder
structure: 2).
Examples: F:\myPOIs\AnnsPOIs or F:\myPOIs\MyJourney\London,
where F:\ is the root directory of the
USB drive.
Note
In a folder only subfolders or only POI files may be stored. A mixture of both will not be imported correctly to
the system.
After downloading individual POI data
organised in that way to the
Infotainment system (see download
description further below), the My
POIs menu will show a list of
selectable submenus.
After selecting a submenu, further
submenus or the related list of
imported POI categories will be
displayed.Downloading the POI data to the
Infotainment system
Connect the USB device with your
user defined POI data to the USB port 3 39 of the Infotainment system.
A message is displayed that prompts
you to confirm the download.
After confirmation, the POI data will
be downloaded to the Infotainment system.
The downloaded POIs are then
selectable as destinations via the My
POIs menu, see "Selecting a point of
interest" in chapter "Destination input" 3 51.

Speech recognition63Speech recognitionGeneral information.....................63
Usage .......................................... 65General information
Embedded speech recognition
The embedded speech recognition of
the Infotainment system enables you to operate various functions of the
Infotainment system via voice input. It recognises commands and numeric
sequences independently of the
relevant speaker. The commands
and numeric sequences can be
spoken without a voice pause
between the individual words.
In the event of incorrect operation or
commands, the speech recognition
gives visual and/or acoustic feedback
and requests you to re-enter the
desired command. Apart from this,
the speech recognition
acknowledges important commands
and will enquire if necessary.
In general, there are different ways to
speak commands for performing the
desired actions.
Note
To ensure that conversations inside
the vehicle do not lead to
unintentional triggering of thesystem functions, the speech
recognition does not start until it has
been activated.
Important informationLanguage support ● Not all languages available for the display of the Infotainment
system are also available for the
speech recognition.
● If the display language currently selected is not supported by the
speech recognition, speech
recognition is not available.
In such a case, you must select
another language for the display, if you want to control the
Infotainment system via voice input. For changing the display
language, see "Language" in
chapter "System settings" 3 27.Address input of destinations in
foreign countries
In case you want to enter the address of a destination located in a foreign
country via voice input, you must
change the language of the Info- Display to the language of the foreign country.
Page 64 of 123
64Speech recognitionE.g., if the display is currently set to
English and you want to enter the
name of a city located in France, you
must change the display language to
French.
Exceptions: If you want to enter
addresses in Belgium, you may
optionally change the display
language to French or Dutch. For
addresses in Switzerland you may
optionally change the display
language to French, German, or
Italian.
For changing the display language,
see "Language" in chapter "System
settings" 3 27.Input order for destination addresses
The order in which the parts of an
address must be entered using the
speech recognition system is
dependent on the country where the
destination is located.
● Austria, Germany: <city> <street> <house number>
● Belgium, France, Great Britain:<house number> <street> <city>
● Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain,
Switzerland, Turkey:
<street> <house number> <city>
Setting up the speech recognition
Several settings and adaptions for the embedded speech recognition of the
Infotainment system can be
performed.
Press ; and then select the
SETTINGS icon.
Select Voice item to enter the
respective submenu.Confidence Threshold
Depending on the option selected in
the corresponding submenu, the
speech recognition appears more or
less 'confident' in correctly
understanding your commands.
Confirm More : If selected, the system
asks you relatively often to confirm your commands. Consequently, the
system performs the correct action in most cases.
Confirm Less : If selected, the system
asks you less often to confirm your
voice inputs. Consequently, the
system might sometimes misinterpret your commands and not perform the
correct action.
Note
When starting to use the speech
recognition, it may be advantageous
to use the Confirm More setting. As
you get more experienced, i.e., you
get to know how to pronounce your
commands in a way the speech
recognition understands you
correctly, it may be advantageous to
use the Confirm Less setting.
Page 65 of 123
Speech recognition65Prompt Length
The length and the level of detail of the questions and statements the
speech recognition gives out can be
adjusted in the corresponding
submenu.Audio Feedback Speed
The speed with which the speech
recognition asks questions or makes statements can be adjusted in the
corresponding submenu.
If Medium is selected, the system's
speech rate corresponds to natural
speech.
Note
When starting to use the speech
recognition, it may be advantageous
to use the Long setting. As you get
more experienced, it may be
advantageous to use the Short
setting.
Voice pass-thru application
The voice pass-thru application of the Infotainment system allows access tothe speech recognition commands on
your smartphone.
The availability of this function
depends on your smartphone. For
more information on compatibility,
