For this reason, you must always observe
applicable road and traffic rules and
regulations during your journey. Road and
traffic rules and regulations always have
priority over the navigation commands
generated by the system.
COMAND guides you to the destination by
means of driving recommendations in the
form of navigation announcements or route
guidance displays.
i The route guidance displays only appear
if the display has been switched to
navigation mode.
If, for some reason, you do not follow the
navigation announcements or if you leave the
calculated route, COMAND automatically
calculates a new route to the destination.
If the map data contains corresponding
information during route guidance, COMAND
tries to avoid roads with limited passability,
e.g. roads that are blocked for through-traffic
and are for residents only.
Driving Maneuver
Driving maneuvers are given in three phases:
R Preparation phase
R Announcement phase
R Maneuver phase
Preparation Phase

Overview
The address book gives you the option of
storing information about people in the form
of entries.
Using voice control, you can dial a phone
number stored in the address book or start
route guidance for a stored address.
Apart from the speaker-dependent voice
names stored in the address book, voice
control can recognize all the entries in the
name fields of the address book. Recognition
of the entries in the address book depends on
the text that was entered. To make a call you
must say the text of the entry.
Check the address book entries for the
following:
R The name entries, e.g. last name and first
name, are in the right fields.
R Do not use abbreviations or acronyms.
R Avoid unnecessary spaces in names.
R Do not use special characters.
You can improve voice recognition by saving
a speaker-dependent voice name for address
book entries.
Use a speaker-dependent voice name:
R for names which are difficult to pronounce
R to distinguish names which sound similar
R for names which are not pronounced as
they are written
Voice control can store up to 50 of these
address book entries by means of a speaker-
dependent voice name.
Operation
You can use voice control at any time to:
R save a name
R select a name
R delete a name
R list the address book
R delete the address book
Ropen the address book
R open an entry from the address book
R list the phone book
R list the destination memoryXTo open the address book: Press
the ? button on the multifunction
steering wheel.XGive the “Address book” command.XPress the ? button.XGive one of the address book commands
explained below.
Commands
“Address Book”
XTo open the address book: Say the
command “Address book”.
“Help Address Book”
XUsing the “Help address book” command,
you can have all the essential commands
for the address book read out.
“Save Name”
Use the “Save name” command to save a
phone number with a voice name for a
specific speaker. Use this command for a
name which is complicated or which is
pronounced differently as it is spelled, for
example, because it is a foreign name. When
you have given the command “Save Name”,
voice control prompts you to enter a phone
number.
The digits 0 to 9 and the word “Plus” are
permitted.
“ Plus” replaces the international dialing code,
e.g. “00”.
Say the phone number in the form of a
continuous string of digits or as blocks of
digits, e.g. three to five digits.
Voice control repeats the digits it recognizes
after each block of digits (with a pause of
198Address BookVoice Control

about half a second between each block of
digits) and waits for you to continue speaking.
When you have given the command “Okay”,
voice control prompts you two or three times
to say the name. When repeating the name,
make sure that you pronounce it in exactly
the same way as you did the first time.
Otherwise, the name cannot be saved and
voice control aborts the saving procedure.
Example of dialog:sSave nametPlease say the numbersZero one three zerotZero one three zerosFive zero zero fivetFive zero zero fivesOkaytPlease say the name.sSmithtPlease repeat the name.sSmithtWould you like to save the number in

“Dial Name”
You can use the “Dial name” command to
place a call by selecting a name from your
address book. You can choose either a voice
name or say a name entry.
Only say the surname if only the surname is
entered in the address book.
Say the surname first and then the first name
if both are entered in the address book.
Example of dialog:
sDial nametPlease say the namesSmith
If there is more than one phone
number for an entry, voice control
queries this:tDo you want to make a work call or a
home call?
or
Please select a line numbersWorktSmith work. Dialing number.
“Find Name”
Use the “Find name” command to search for
a name in the address book. Voice control
then asks what action you want it to perform:
for example call the selected number, start
route guidance to the saved address or open
the entry.
Example of dialog:
sFind nametPlease say the namesSmithuThe system shows a numbered list in
the display.tPlease select a line number.sLine number 1 ...tLine number 1 accepted.
The system opens the first entry on the
list.
If the selected entry contains at least
one phone number or an address,
voice control asks whether you want
to dial the number or navigate to the
stored address.
