8Introductory information

Operation principleRead and observe
and on page 11 first.
The voice commands are only then to be spoken when the symbol is dis-
played in the device screen or in the display of the combined instrument 
is
displayed .
The voice control system can usually be operated through the method “ say
what you see ” .
For example, you select the function key Dial number with the voice command
“ Dial number ”.
After switching on the voice control, the function buttons that can be selected
with a voice command are highlighted in green.
During voice control operation, the following symbols appear in the device
screen.
SymbolMeaningA message will be playedA voice command is awaitedThe voice control is stoppedA voice command is recognized
It is not necessary to wait for the end of message playback when the device is
playing a message. The device message can be ended by pressing the button 
or by pressing the icon key  on the multifunction steering wheel. Then a
voice command can be issued. The voice control is therefore much faster.
Conditions in the menu Navigation
The destination address can be entered by saying the city, the street and the
house number (if it is included in the navigation data) in one step.
You can say the house number and a further additional address in the form of
a number where necessary. The device then offers the number combination it
has found if the house number and the additional address, exists in the street
entered where appropriate.
It is necessary to spell city and street names if the entered destination is loca-
ted in a country that has no voice control available for the language. The de-
vice indicates this through a text message on the screen.
not recognizing a voice command
Read and observe
and on page 11 first.
If a voice command is not recognised, the device answers with Pardon? and
you can give a new command.
If the device does not recognise the second voice command, the help message
is provided again and you can give a new command.
If the device does not recognise the third voice command, the system plays
the Cancel. message and the dialogue is ended.
Correction of a voice command input
Read and observe
and on page 11 first.
A voice command can be corrected, modified or re-entered by pressing the
button  or the icon key
 on the multifunction steering wheel. However,
this is only possible if the symbol  is displayed on the screen.
You do not have to wait until the voice command is recognized by the device.
Stop/restore voice command input
Read and observe
and on page 11 first.
Stop
In some menus, the process for voice command input can be stopped by turn- ing the knob .
This allows you more time for the voice command input.
When stopping, the symbol changes from  to
.
Restore
The procedure for voice command input can be restarted in one of the follow-
ing ways.
› By pressing the function key
.
› By pressing the button

on the device.

GPS satellite signal
The unit uses the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite signal for route
guidance.
Outside the range of the GPS satellite signal (e.g. in dense vegetation, in tun-
nels, parking garages, etc.), the unit navigates only with restrictions using
some on-vehicle sensors (such as speed sensor or steering angle sensor).
The unit offers the possibility to show in the split screen display the following
Position » Fig. 44 on page 61 information about the current geographical po-
sition of the vehicle and the satellite signal.
Geographical longitude
Geographical latitude
Elevation
Number of received/available satellites
To view the information on the longitude and latitude of the current vehicle
position display requires the reception of GPS signals from at least three satel-
lites.
To view the elevation information of the current vehicle position display re-
quires the reception of GPS signals from at least five satellites.
