Voice control of the radio navigation systemGeneral informationIntroductionThanks to this equipment, you can operate 
a few functions of your radio navigation  
system via the microphone installed in the vehicle; a so-called “ 
Speak what you see  
on the touch-screen 
” system. 
You can use the voice control in the operating modes  
RADIO, MEDIA, PHONE, MAP  
and NAV 
. 
You can change the volume any time during  
the call with the control button   of the

unit, when the system is waiting to  
pronounce a new command.•

help display).•
By pronouncing the command “

•
If the system does not receive a command or does not recognise the command  
while the dialogue is switched on, it answers with the question “ 
Pardon?
” and thus  
makes it possible to pronounce a new co 
mmand. If the system does not receive a  
second voice command, you will be offered help 
. If the system does not receive a third  
voice command, you receive the message “ 
Cancel
” and the voice control switches off. 
Optimum understanding of the commands depends on several factors:•
Speak with a normal tone of voice wi 
thout intonation and excessive pauses.
•
Avoid a bad pronunciation.
•
Do not use any abbreviations - al
ways pronounce the full command.
•
Do not speak, if the system makes an announcement. As long as the system has not  
finished the announcement, it will  
not react to an additional command.
•
Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, in order to avoid disturbing influences  
of the environment on the understanding of the commands.•
We  re c o m m e n d  t o  s p e a k  l o u d e r a t  h i g h e r  s p e e d s ;  b u t w i t h  a  c a l m  v o i c e , s o  th a t t h e  
increased surrounding noise does not drown out the command.•
During the dialogue limit additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. simultaneously talking  
occupants.•
The microphone for voice control is directed 
 to the driver as well as to the front  
passenger. Therefore the driver and the front passenger can operate the unit.DialogueThe period of time in which the system  
is ready to receive voice commands and to  
carry them out is call 
ed a dialogue. The system reacts
 with an audible feedback and  
guides you through the individual functions. Selecting long and short dialogue The nature of the dialogue can be set by  
pressing the button   on the unit and by  
pronouncing the command “ 
long dialogue
” or “
short dialogue
”. 
The nature of the dialogue can also be 
 set manually in the operating mode 
SETUP
 -  
 -   or  . 
If you select the short dialogue, the system shortens some messages or replaces them  by an audible si 
gnal (gong), thus the operation is accelerated. 
If you select the long dialogue, the system 
 gives the whole message without shortening  
it. The entered voice commands are the same for the long and short dialogue. Interrupt messages The message just given can be ended by br 
iefly pressing the button   on the unit.  
Thus, it is possible to pronounce  
an additional voic
e command sooner.
