Input screen with keypad
Fig. 2
Example of an input screen with keypad/input screen with numbers
The input screen with keypad appears when entering a new line, searching for a
point of interest or a telephone number, for instance.
If you press a function key with a character on the keypad, this character appears
in the input line in the upper part of the screen.
You can also delete or change the string in the entry line and add special charac-
ters.
The available characters are context-dependent.
Further input possibilities:   - Displaying the entries matching the selection. The function key moves to
the list of entries matching the selection.
 - returns from any menu point to the previous menu point
 - Displaying the entries matching the selection.
 - changes from upper case to lower case and vice versa.
 - switches to the input screen for numbers and special characters
A..Z - switches to the input screen for letters
- Enter a space
 - switches to the Cyrillic script
ABC - switches to the Latin script

 - moves the cursor in the entry line - to the left or right.  – deletes characters in the entry line starting from the position of the charac-
ter input mark from right to left
OK - confirms the text entered in the entry line
Selecting letters based on specific characters
In the input screen, some characters are marked with the symbol
“ ”. Pressing
the character identified in this way for a long period of time allows you to choose
special characters for the selected language.
Some specific characters can be “written out”. The radio navigation system will al-
so recognise the character sequence “AE”, “UE” and “OE” instead of the German
specific characters “Ä”, “Ü” and “Ö”. Other specific characters can be ignored, for
example instead of “É”, “Ê” or “È” a normal “E” will be accepted by the navigation
system. Ð6
General information

Voice control of the radio navigation system
Introductory information
The voice control is only possible in the following languages: Czech, English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Italian .
You can use the voice control in the operating modes RADIO, MEDIA, PHONE, MAP
and NAV .
Switch on voice control (dialogue)
› Press the button
 .
Dialogue
› The long or short dialogue can be selected by pressing the key
 on the unit
and by speaking the voice command “Long dialogue ”
(the system outputs the
message completely without shortening it) or “Short dialogue ” (the system
shortens some messages or substitute them with an acoustic signal (gong),
which accelerates the control) or in manual mode SETUP» page 11, Setup
Voice control .
Interrupt messages › The message just given can be finished by pressing the button
 on the unit.
This allows you to speak another voice command earlier.
Switch off voice control (dialogue)
› After executing 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 (unless the function key Hide help is not pressed in the help display).
› By speaking the voice command “Cancel
”

.
› If the system does not receive a voice command or does not recognise the voice
command, although dialogue is switched on, it responds with the question “Par-
don? ” and allows you to speak another voice command. If the system does not
receive a voice command even the second time, you will be offered help. If the
system does not receive a voice command even the third time, you receive the
message “Cancel ” and the voice control switches off.
Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on several factors:
› Speak with a normal tone of voice without intonation and excessive pauses.
› Avoid a bad pronunciation.
› Do not use abbreviations – always speak the whole voice command. ›
Do not speak when the system makes an announcement. As long as the system
has not finished the announcement, it will not react to an additional voice com-
mand.
› Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, in order to avoid disturbing influen-
ces of the environment on the understanding of the voice commands.
› 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 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 spoken
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 speaking 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, then, for example,
speak the voice command “Tutorial Part 2 ”.
Call up the general help for individual operating modes by briefly pressing the
button  on the unit and by speaking the command “Help Quick Commands”.
Voice command
“Help”
Help can be called up by speaking the command “ Help”. Depending on the operat-
ing mode in which you are, the help given will offer different possibilities. If the
options offered are not sufficient, speak the voice command “Further options”.
Changing between the operating modes
If you wish to change between the operating modes after switching on the voice
control, always speak the name of the operating mode to 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, speak the voice command “Media”. Al-
ways speak 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 unit automatically switches between the different operating modes. 

MEDIA mode

NAV mode (Navigation)
Introductory information
The route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or
change the route. This process takes only a few seconds. Driving recommenda-
tions can only then be re-transmitted.
In regions that are not or only partially digitalised and stored on the navigation
DVD, the radio navigation system will continue to try to provide guidance to the
destination. Please note that under these circumstances the guidance to the des-
tination may not be completely correct if, for example, one-way streets and road
categories (motorway, country road, etc.) are not or only partially included in the
navigation data used.
When entering an address (city, street), only those letters or symbols which make
up a logical entry will be presented. A list of possible names will be shown. Do not
forget to enter the blank space in names made up of more than one word, such
as High Wycombe.
The last voice output can be repeated by pressing the button or the menu button 15
. The volume of a navigation recommendation can be changed whilst it is being
made.
The GPS satellites will not be able to reach the aerial once you are in a tunnel or
underground garage. In these cases, the unit uses only the vehicle's sensors and
an internal gyroscope for navigation. WARNING
■ Please concentrate fully at all times on your driving! Driver inattention can
lead to accidents and injuries. As the driver you are fully responsible for road
safety. Only use the functions of the radio navigation system in such a way
that you are always in full control of your vehicle in all traffic situations!
■ The following must always have priority over the driving recommendations:
■ the road traffic legislation, even if the driving recommendations contradict
the StVO,
■ the actual acknowledgement of traffic signs, light signals or signs placed
by the police at the relevant location,
■ the facts and circumstances prevailing at the relevant location. WARNING (Continued)
■ Please observe the respective traffic regulations when driving.
■ Traffic signs and traffic regulations always have priority over the driving rec-
ommendations provided by the navigation system.
■ Route guidance is subject to constant changes, particularly to information
relating to one-way streets, pedestrian zones etc. stored in the navigation da-
ta. Information on traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking and stop-
ping restrictions as well as lane constrictions and speed restrictions is not in-
cluded in the radio navigation system. ■ Adjust your speed to suit weather, road and traffic conditions. Do not allow,
for example, the radio navigation system to make you drive faster in fog - risk
of accident!
■ Only if the traffic situation allows it should you operate the radio navigation
system with its wide range of possibilities.
■ The driving recommendations provided may vary from current situations,
e.g. due to road works or out of date navigation data. In such a case, always
observe the traffic regulations and ignore the driving recommendations. ■ Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside, e.g. sirens
from vehicles which have the right of way, such as police, ambulance and fire
brigade vehicles, can be heard at all time. Note
■ It is not necessary to enter the destinations (country, city, road, point of interest
names) including all country-specific (or language-specific for points of interest)
special characters. ■ Depending on the country, some functions of the radio navigation system can
no longer be selected on the screen at certain speeds. This is not a malfunction,
but corresponds to the legal requirements of the particular country. Ð Navigation data and the navigation DVD
The navigation data are already available after the memory of the radio naviga-
tion system is switched on first and can be used directly for route guidance.
Storing the updated navigation data can take up to one hour. Route guidance will
start via the navigation DVD while the navigation data is being stored. Please
note that route guidance will be interrupted if the navigation DVD is removed.
Route guidance must then be restarted with details supplied from the navigation
system memory of the unit. 
