Overview
Operating Safety
GWarning!
Please devote your attention first and
foremost to the traffic situation you are in.
While the system permits hands-free phone
operation, attention to traffic may be diverted
not only by physical operation of a phone, but
also by the distraction of a phone
conversation while driving. As such, for safety
reasons, we encourage the driver to stop the
vehicle in a safe place before answering or
placing a phone call.
For safety reasons, you should only select a
destination when the vehicle is stationary.
While the navigation system provides
directional assistance, the driver must remain
focused on safe driving behavior, especially
pay attention to traffic and street signs, and
should utilize the system’s audio cues while
driving.
The navigation system does not supply any
information on stop signs, yield signs, traffic
regulations or traffic safety rules. Their
observance always remains in the driver’s
personal responsibility. DVD maps do not
cover all areas nor all routes within an area.
Traffic regulations always have priority over
any route recommendations given.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.
GWarning
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting your
attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of
consulting the map display for directions.
Consulting the symbols or map display for
directions may cause you to divert your
attention from driving and increase your risk
of an accident.
GWarning!
Please do not use the Voice Control System
in an emergency, as the tone of your voice
may change in a stressful situation. This could
cause a delay in completing your phone call
in a timely manner. This could distract you in
an emergency situation and cause you to be
involved in an accident.
Vehicle Equipment

features, standard or optional, potentially
available for your vehicle at the time of

( Y page 42). If the help function is switched
on, the most important commands that are
currently possible appear in the display when
you start the dialog.
In the address book and navigation system, a
selection list is shown in the display if voice
control requires additional information from
you.
Entering Numbers
R Digits from “zero” to “nine” are permitted.
R Say the phone number in groups of three
to five digits.
Spell
R The letters of the alphabet and the numbers
0 to 9 are permitted.
R Say the letters in groups of five to seven
letters.
R Say each individual letter clearly.
i Using individualization, you can fine-tune
voice control to your own voice and thus
improve voice recognition. The process of
individualization is described in chapter
“System Settings” ( Y page 42).
i If you use individualization, it may impair
recognition of other users. Switch off
individualization if it makes recognition of
other users worse.
Phone
GWarning
Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from
using a cellular telephone while driving.
Whether or not prohibited by law, for safety
reasons, the driver should not use the cellular
telephone while the vehicle is in motion. Stop
the vehicle in a safe location before placing or
answering a call.
If you nonetheless choose to use the mobile
phone while driving, please use the handsfree
feature and be sure to pay attention to the
traffic situation at all times. Use the mobile
phone only when road, weather and traffic
conditions permit. Otherwise, you may not be
able to observe traffic conditions and could
endanger yourself and others.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.
