Notes on the phone book
Please remember these tips and suggestions when creating 
a new entry.
•It is important that names  stored in the phone book have a noticeable 
acoustic difference between them so the system can recognise the entries.
•In the event that an telephone book entry is not recognised (e.g. if 
someone else tries to call-up a name), the phone book entries can be read out 
by giving the command  PLAY PHONE BOOK.
•The numbers zero to nine  are recognised by the system. Say the numbers 
clearly so that the system can recognise them easily.
Should the system say  <The function is not possible> , check the status of the 
hands-free system as follows.
•Is the phone turned on?
•Has the PIN code been entered?
WARNING
The voice command system must not be used in cases of emergency, as the 
voice changes in stressful situations. This could result in a failed or delayed 
telephone connection. For this reason, always enter emergency numbers 
manually.

International calls
Country and area codes can be entered as follows.
Tips for dialling international numbers:
•When making a call abroad, you can say  plus (+) before specifying the 
digits.
•After the  plus (+) the country code must be specified. The country code 
follows the conventional format (e.g.  49 for Germany or 44 for Great Britain.
•After the country code, the  zero (0) should be left out before the area 
code.
Example of how to call Great Britain:

your safety and that of others. For this reason, you should only use the 
functions in a manner that allows you to maintain control of the vehi cle in 
all situations - otherwise, you may cause an accident!

Using the hands-free system from the multi-function control
The hands-free system can be activated using the multi-func-
tion control.
As well as using the voice command system, it is possible to use the functions 
of the hands-free system from the controls on the steering wheel.
When the connection is established between your mobile telephone and 
hands-free device, the phonebook in your SIM card is downloaded to the 
hands-free device.
Depending on the version, when the connection has been established 
between the mobile phone and the hands-free device, the phonebook is 
downloaded to the hands-free device, allowing the incoming caller and 
outgoing numbers to be recognised. This phonebook can not be managed 
from the mulit-function control. Nor is it displayed on the radio display.
Example of incoming call 
An incoming call can be accepted by pressing the “answer call” button   
 Ÿfig. 11  on the multi-function control, as well as from the radio control   
 Ÿ fig. 11 .

If the number from which the incoming call is being made is associated with 
a name in the existing phone book then the name will be displayed on the 
radio display.
Information on radio display
An incoming call is indicated on the display. To receive call, press button   
on the multi-function control or button   on the radio (see Radio manual). 
To reject the call, press the multi-function button   on the radio.
To cancel an outgoing call, press the multi-function button   on the radio 
(see Radio manual).

Dialogue 
The voice command system can be activated with the “press 
to talk” button, located on the multi-function control.
In this manual, Dialogue is defined as the time in which the voice command 
system may receive vocal commands and provide assistance for the comple-
tion of different functions where the user is hesitant and unsure how to 
proceed. The system also responds with vocal messages. The dialogue starts 
and is stopped by pressing the “press to talk” button     Ÿpage 23, fig. 11  
or   on the radio display.
If a call is received, then the dialogue is immediately interrupted. The call may 
be accepted by pressing the key “answer”   on the multi-function control.
Assistance from voice control system when commands are not recognised.
If a command is not recognised by the system, it will answer with the cue 
<Please repeat?>  and the command can then be given once again clearly. 
After a third failure the system will answer with  <Cancel> and the dialogue will 
be ended. Please note the following to ensure that you are properly understood:
•Speak in a normal tone and without pauses or exaggerated pronuncia-
tion.
•Avoid poor articulation of words.
•Keep the doors, windows and sun roof closed if possible to avoid back-
ground noises that might affect the system.
•Keep the air vents directed away from the microphone (located on the 
interior light).
•At high speeds, you might need to speak louder to drown out background 
noises.
•Avoid other noises in the vehicle during a dialogue (e.g. other passengers 
speaking in the vehicle).
•Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue.
•The hands-free microphone is directed towards the driver, therefore, only 
the driver should try to operate the system.
•To make a call when there is heavy background noise we recommend 
using the speech controlled telephone book instead of saying individual 
digits. This will help avoid mistakes when specifying telephone numbers.
Micro off
If, at any time, we do not wish to be heard by the person on the other end of 
the line during a call, the vehicle microphone can be temporarily discon-
nected. To do so, press the multi-function button   on the radio (see Radio 
manual) during the call.
To reactivate the micro, press the multi-function button   on the radio again 
(see Radio manual).Fig. 15  Current phone
