Adjusting sound settings
60DSP ("Digital Signal Processing")GALA  are the German initials for the speed-dependent 
volume adjustment function.– Press the control button for the  Sound function from an audio or 
SETUP menu or
– Select DSP  ⇒ page 59, fig. 74 .
– Select GALA  ⇒ fig. 76.
– Select on of the five  levels ⇒ fig. 76  or
– Select off . The function will be switched off.The GALA  function boosts the volume level accordingly as the vehicle's speed 
increases to drown out background noise.
If you select  level 1, the volume will only be boosted slightly as speed 
increases. If you select  level 5, the volume will be boosted more strongly as 
speed increases.
Dynamic noise compensation*Dynamic noise compensation automatically adjusts the music volume so that 
the music is not drowned out by background noise. The volume will seem to 
maintain its normal decibel strength.
The dynamic noise compensation function responds to both continuous and 
transient background noise.
How does the dynamic noise compensation work?
A microphone in the interior registers the music volume and the volume of 
background noise. The background noise is then digitally analysed and proc-
essed by the system. At the same time, the sound system boosts the play-
back volume accordingly in the affected frequency range so that the music 
can still be heard clearly.
Note
Any malfunction of the AudioPilot system is indicated by a triple warning 
gong which sounds when the navigation system is switched on. If this should 
happen, please have the AudioPilot system checked by a qualified 
workshop.

Mobile phone system*
86Telephone speech control systemIntroduction
You can use speech commands to operate various functions 
of the telephone.Functions
When used in combination with the hands-free system, you can make calls 
without touching your mobile phone. The speech control system recognises 
commands and digits spoken by different people.
The speech control system allows you to do the following:•Create an acoustic phone book for the speech control system  ⇒page 86•Enter and dial a telephone number  ⇒page 91
Traffic reports are not announced during a running dialogue. The dialogue 
will be ended immediately when an incoming phone call is received. To 
answer the call, press the left thumbwheel on the multi-function steering 
wheel* or the talk button   on the mobile phone adapter.
Unclear speech commands
The system acknowledges your commands with an acoustic signal. If the 
system does not recognise a speech command, it will answer with  Pardon? 
and request you to repeat the command. After a third failed attempt the 
system will answer with  Cancel and the dialogue will be ended.
How to help the system understand you•Speak clearly in a normal volume. Speak louder if you are driving fast.•Speak in a normal tone without long pauses.•Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue.•Close doors, windows and sun roof* to reduce background noise. Make 
sure that passengers are not talking when you say a command.
•Keep the air outlets of the air distribution system pointed away from the 
microphone, which is fitted in the vicinity of the front interior lights.•The system should only be operated by the driver, since the hands-free 
microphone is directed towards the driver.WARNING
•Please direct your full attention to the road at all times! As the driver, 
you bear the responsibility for road safety. Therefore, you should only use 
the functions in a manner that allows you to maintain control of the vehicle 
in all situations.•The speech control system must not be used in cases of emergency, 
since the voice changes in stressful situations. This could result in a failed 
or delayed telephone connection. Always dial emergency numbers 
manually.
Speech control system phone book
Name tags are stored in the phone book for the speech 
control system.General notes
The phone book for the speech control system has 50 memory positions. You 
can use it independently of the mobile phone. The name tags are stored in 
the phone book for the speech control system.
Functions
The phone book for the speech control system gives you various options:•Dialling phone numbers stored previously  ⇒page 93•Recording a name in the speech control phone book for a phone book 
entry in the on-board phone system ⇒ page 92
