7-24 Infotainment System
Telephone Number Dialing
After the“Dial”command, the voice
control requests input of a number.
The telephone number must be
spoken in your normal speech
without any artificial pauses
between the numbers.
Recognition is best, if a pause of at
least half a second is made after
every three to five digits. The
infotainment system then repeats
the numbers recognized.
Available Commands:
.“Dial”: the inputs are accepted.
.“Digit”: a numeric value between
“0–9” is entered.
.“Delete”: the number last
entered or the block of numbers
last entered is deleted.
.“Plus”: a preceding “+”is entered
for a call abroad.
.“Verify”: the inputs are repeated
by the voice output.
.“Asterisk”: an asterisk “*”is
entered.
.“Hash”: a hash character “#”is
entered.
.“Pause”: a pause is entered into
the character sequence.
.“Help”
.“Cancel”
The telephone number entered can
have a maximum length of 25 digits.
To be able to make a call abroad
you can say the word “Plus”(+) at
the beginning of your number. The
plus allows you to call from any
country without knowing the prefix
for calls made abroad in that
country. Then say the required
country code.
Example of a Dialogue
User: “Dial.”
Voice output: “Please say the
number to dial.”
User: “Plus four nine.”
User: “Seven three one.” Voice output:
“Seven three one.”
User: “One one nine nine.”
Voice output: “One one nine nine.”
User: “Dial.”

dialed.”

book as a name tag.

Voice output: “Please say the name
tag to call.”

Saving a Name Tag
The “Save” command is used to
store a telephone number in the
telephone book as a name tag.
The name entered must be
repeated once. The pitch and
pronunciation must be as identical
as possible for both name inputs,
otherwise the voice control will
reject the inputs. A maximum of 50 name tags can be
stored in the telephone book.
Name tags are speaker-dependent,
i.e., only the person who recorded a
name tag can open it. To avoid the
start of the recording of a saved
name from being cut off, a short
pause should be left after an input
request.
To be able to use the name tag
independently of the location, i.e.,
including other countries, all
telephone numbers should be
entered with a
“plus”character and
a country code.
Available commands:
.“Save”: the inputs are accepted.
.“Re-dialing”: the last input is
repeated.
.“Help”
.“Cancel”

Driving and Operating 9-3
A utility vehicle does not handle the
same as a vehicle with a lower
center of gravity, like a car, in similar
situations.
Safe driver behavior and
understanding of the environment
can help avoid a rollover crash in
any type of vehicle, including utility
vehicles.
Distracted Driving
Distraction comes in many forms
and can take your focus from the
task of driving. Exercise good
judgment and do not let other
activities divert your attention away
from the road. Many local
governments have enacted laws
regarding driver distraction. Become
familiar with the local laws in
your area.
To avoid distracted driving, always
keep your eyes on the road, hands
on the wheel, and mind on the drive.
.Do not use a phone in
demanding driving situations.
Use a hands-free method to
place or receive necessary
phone calls.
.Watch the road. Do not read,
take notes, or look up
information on phones or other
electronic devices.
.Designate a front seat
passenger to handle potential
distractions.
.Become familiar with vehicle
features before driving, such as
programming favorite radio
stations and adjusting climate
control and seat settings.
Program all trip information into
any navigation device prior to
driving.
.Wait until the vehicle is parked
to retrieve items that have fallen
to the floor.
.Stop or park the vehicle to tend
to children.
.Keep pets in an appropriate
carrier or restraint.
.Avoid stressful conversations
while driving, whether with a
passenger or on a cell phone.
{WARNING
Taking your eyes off the road too
long or too often could cause a
crash resulting in injury or death.
Focus your attention on driving.
Refer to the infotainment section for
more information on using that
system, including pairing and using
a cell phone.
If equipped, refer to the navigation
manual for information on that
system, including pairing and using
a cell phone.
