General information

Voice control of the radio navigation system
General information
Introduction Thanks to this equipment, you can operate a few functions of your navigation sys-
tem via the microphone installed in the vehicle; a so-called “Speak what you see
on the touch-screen” system.
You can use the voice control in the operating modes RADIO, MEDIA, PHONE, MAP
and NAV .
You can adjust the volume during the call at any time by turning the control but-
ton 1 .
Switch on voice control (dialogue)
● Press the button  .
Switching off voice control (dialogue)
● After running the voice command, voice control switches off automatically.
● By pressing one of the buttons which are located on the side of the touch-
screen of the unit or by touching the touch-screen (if the button Fade out is not
pressed in the help display).
● By pronouncing the command “Cancel ”.
● If the system does not receive a command or does not recognise the command
while the dialogue is switched on, it answers with the question
“Pardon?” and
thus makes it possible to pronounce a new command. If the system does not re-
ceive a second voice command, you will be offered help. If the system does not
receive a third voice command, you receive the message “ Cancel” and the voice
control switches off.
Optimum understanding of the commands depends on several factors:
● Speak with a normal tone of voice without intonation and excessive pauses.
● Avoid a bad pronunciation.
● Do not use any abbreviations - always pronounce the full command.
● Do not speak, if the system makes an announcement. As long as the system
has not finished the announcement, it will not react to an additional command.
● Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, in order to avoid disturbing influen-
ces of the environment on the understanding of the commands. ●
We recommend to speak louder at higher speeds; but with a calm voice, so
that the increased surrounding noise does not drown out the command.
● During the dialogue limit additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. simultaneously
talking occupants.
● The microphone for voice control is directed to the driver as well as to the
front passenger. Therefore the driver and the front passenger can operate the
unit. Ð
Dialogue The period of time in which the system is ready to receive voice commands and to
carry them out is called a
dialogue. The system reacts with an audible feedback
and guides you through the individual functions.
Selecting long and short dialogue
The nature of the dialogue can be set by pressing the button  on the unit and
by pronouncing the command

“long dialogue ” or “short dialogue ”.
The nature of the dialogue can also be set manually in the operating mode SETUP
→ Voice control →
Dialogue style →
Long or
Short .
If you select the short dialogue, the system shortens some messages or replaces
them by an audible signal (gong), thus the operation is accelerated.
If you select the long dialogue, the system gives the whole message without
shortening it.
The entered voice commands are the same for the long and short dialogue.
Interrupt messages
The message just given can be ended by briefly pressing the button  on the
unit. Thus, it is possible to pronounce an additional voice command sooner. Ð
Voice commands The voice control is only possible in the following languages:
Czech, English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Italian .8
Voice control of the radio navigation system

Due to the large number of possible voice commands, we give here only a few ex-
amples. Therefore, please observe the system guidelines when entering voice
commands.
The system only recognises 30 000 entries (i.e, it will only recognise 30 000 of
the largest cities for the selected country, for example, in the operating mode
NAV
. If the desired city is not included in the 30 000 entries, it cannot be pro-
nounced normally, but it must be entered by spelling it out.
Call up the general information for the voice control by briefly pressing the button  on the unit and by pronouncing the command “Instructions”. Then you hear a
message that the instructions are divided into seven parts. If you want more de-
tailed information about individual parts of the instructions, pronounce for exam-
ple the command
“Manual part 2”.
Call up the general help for individual operating modes by briefly pressing the but-
ton  on the unit and by pronouncing the command “Help short commands”

.
Changing between the operating modes
If you wish to change between the operating modes after switching on the voice
control, always pronounce the name of the operating mode in which you wish to
change. This means, if you are in the operating mode RADIO and you wish to
change into the operating mode MEDIA pronounce the command “Media”. Always
pronounce the names of the operating modes PHONE, MAP, NAV as “Telephone,
map, navigation ”.
In each operating mode, you can also use the voice commands for other operating
modes - the device automatically switches between the different operating
modes.
Voice command “Help”
Help can be called up by pronouncing the command “ Help”. Depending on the op-
erating mode in which you are, the help given will offer different possibilities. If
the possibilities offered are not sufficient, pronounce the command “further op-
tions”.
If you pronounce the command “Help”, you can hear a message on how the com-
mand should be correctly pronounced (e.g. “auto Zoom ”).
Help display
If you want the help to be displayed on the touch-screen of the unit, you must on-
ly activate it (then deactive it) manually in the operating modes SETUP → Voice control →
Visual help . The help display can be set separately for each operating mode in the system (this
means, if you only set the help display for the operating mode
MAP, it is only dis-
played in this operating mode).
The range of these commands is indicated in the pop-up window Possible com-
mands are:
If you do not wish the help display to be shown when the dialogue is switched on,
pronounce the command

“Fade out” while you are in the help display or press the
function key Fade out . The help display is shown again after repeatedly switching
on the dialogue.
Voice recording
In the operating modes PHONE, NAV and RADIO a short voice recording can be set
up; after pronouncing the recorded term the desired command is carried out (e.g.
in the operating mode PHONE, a voice recording can be set up besides a tele-
phone contact and after pronouncing it the system carries out the selection pro-
cedure. Ð
Further voice commands If you wish to scroll through the lists in the operating modes
MEDIA, PHONE, NAV,
RADIO (e.g. in the operating mode RADIO in the list of the radio station), you must
pronounce the command

“next page” or “previous page”.
If you are in a list in which the details are shown (e.g. in the operating modes NAV,
New dest. ,
Last destinations ), pronounce the command “Options for entry
” and then
select a number by pronouncing the command
“Options for entry 3” or “Info for
entry 3 ”.
Certain voice commands in the operating mode RADIO
If you pronounce the command “Read station list ”, the system reads the list of
the radio stations. The desired selected radio station can be selected by briefly
pressing the button  on the unit during the message, then the system offers
selection possibilities for the selected entry.
If you directly pronounce a station name, the system switches over to the desired
station.
Examples for voice commands in order to operate buttons on the touch-screen of
the unit:

General information for CD/DVD operation Audio-CDs (CD-A) and Audio-DVDs, MP3-CDs and MP3-DVDs as well as Video-
DVDs can be played in the internal CD/DVD drive.
Insert CD/DVD
Insert a CD with the written side facing up as far as possible into the CD case
11until it is automatically drawn in. The play function will start automatically.
Remove CD/DVD
Pressing
 - ejects the CD/DVD.
If the
“ejected” CD is not taken out within 10 seconds, it will be retracted again for
safety reasons.
CD not legible
If you insert a CD/DVD which cannot be read by the unit, a pop-up window is dis-
played with a note. The CD/DVD is moved to the eject position within a few sec-
onds. If the CD/DVD is not taken out within 10 seconds, it is drawn in again for safety
reasons.
CD to jump
Uneven road surfaces and strong vibrations may cause the CD to jump.
Formation of condensation
When it is cold and after rain showers, moisture can deposit in the CD/DVD drive
(condensation). This can effect the CD jump or impair the play function. In such ca-
ses wait until the moisture has dissipated.
Notes for the care of the CD/DVDs
If a CD/DVD is soiled, never clean it in the direction of a circle but rather from in-
side to outside with a soft lint-free cloth. In case of severe layers of dirt we rec-
ommend to clean the CD/DVD with a commercially available CD/DVD cleaner. Also
in this case do not clean the CD/DVD in the direction of a circle but rather from
inside to outside and then let it dry off.
MP3 and WMA Data (Windows Media Audio)
Playable MP3 and WMA data can also be stored on the hard disk of the unit

automatically be guided around announced traffic jams or blocked roads, if this
saves time.
Such announcements will take place if a traffic problem affects the original route
calculation, the traffic problem has been solved and the navigation system can
see only one possibility of driving the actually most advantagous route.
Requirements for a dynamic route guidance
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a digital radio data service for continuous trans-
mission of traffic information.
If a TMC traffic radio station is available for current location, the TMC traffic re-
ports are updated continuously in the background.
The quality of the transmitted traffic reports depends on the broadcast editing
carried out by the radio station. The reception of the TMC traffic reports cannot be
switched on or off.
The station you are listening to does not have to be a TMC station. TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and displayed by the unit if the naviga-
tion data for the currently driven area is stored in the unit memory or can be called
up via an inserted navigation DVD.
The current TMC traffic reports can be displayed by pressing the range selector
key
TMC .
Note
● There may not be any advantage in avoiding the traffic jam if, as a result of the
TMC traffic reports, the diversion is also heavily congested.
● You can manually block the information for the route in front of you if traffic
problems ahead have not yet been included in the TMC traffic reports. Ð 39
