WARNING
Today's driving conditions require your full attention. As the driver, you
bear the responsibility for road safety. Never operate a portable player
while driving, as this could result in an accident.
Note
•We recommend setting the output level of the portable player to about
70 percent of maximum. Before adjusting the volume using the sound system
in your vehicle, you should first use the volume adjuster of the portable
player.•Using a portable player with the engine switched off will drain the
battery.

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*
68Mobile phone system*IntroductionA mobile phone can be connected to the on-board phone
system and operated via the navigation system, the multi-
function steering wheel*, the telephone speech control
system* or the speech dialogue system*.The mobile phone adapter is located either on the centre console or in the
centre armrest. A special mobile phone adapter ⇒page 69 is needed in
order to connect your mobile phone to this adapter. Mobile phone adapters
are available from your Dealer or specialist retailers.
You can then operate your mobile phone using the navigation system, the
multi-function steering wheel* ⇒page 12 or the speech dialogue system*
⇒ page 86. You can also use the talk button * on the mobile phone
adapter to answer and end a call.
When your mobile phone is in the mobile phone adapter, call signals are sent
and received via the external car aerial. This ensures good transmission
quality and keeps the mobile phone battery charged.
WARNING
•According to the health authorities, mobile phones may interfere with
the function of pacemakers. A minimum distance of 20 cm should therefore
be kept between the mobile phone aerial and the pacemaker.
−Do not carry a mobile phone in your breast pocket directly over the
pacemaker when the phone is switched on.
− If you suspect interference, switch the mobile phone off immedi-
ately.
•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.Caution
•Always obey the laws controlling the use of telephones in vehicles!•Always switch off your mobile phone in areas where using mobile phones
is prohibited!•Switch off the telephone in all areas where there may be a risk of explo-
sion. Remember that these areas may not always be adequately marked.
Such places are filling stations, fuel and chemical storage facilities or trans-
port vehicles and other places where fumes, chemicals (e.g. from leaking
propane or fuel vapours in vehicles or buildings) or large quantities of dust
particles (e.g. from flour or wood) could accumulate in the air. This warning
also applies to all other places where you would normally switch off your
engine.Note
•In order to use the mobile phone functions, your mobile phone must be
compatible with the mobile phone adapter in the vehicle and the functions
must be supported by your service provider.•The range of the handset may be affected in isolated areas (such as a
tunnel or underground garage).•Some places have no range at all. You will not be able to use the tele-
phone in these places.

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.
