Some equipment functions can be operated using voice commands. This accel-
erates the use of the device and increases comfort while driving.
Voice control can be used in the Radio, Media , Phone and Navigation menus.
The voice control system can be operated either by the driver or by the front
passenger.
WARNING■ Please pay attention to the traffic first and foremost. As the driver you
are fully responsible for road safety. Only use the system in a way that
leaves you in full control of your vehicle in every traffic situation – there is
the risk of an accident.■
Do not use the voice control system under stress or in an emergency.
Your voice commands may not be recognized in such situations. In such cir-
cumstances it may not be possible to establish a telephone connection or
the connection may take too much time to complete. The emergency num-
ber should be dialled manually.
Function requirements
Read and observe
on page 13 first.

Requirements for optimum voice command recognition.
› Only give voice commands when the symbol.
appears.
› Speak with a normal tone of voice without intonation and excessive pauses.
› Avoid a bad pronunciation.
› Close doors, windows and the sliding roof, to prevent external disturbance
affecting recognition of the voice commands.
› You are recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the sound of
your voice is not drowned out by the increased ambient noise.
› Limit additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. passengers talking at the same time,
when you are using voice control.

Never place signal sources close to airbags. Loose objects could hit a de-
ployed airbag and injure occupants – danger of death!■
Never place signal sources on the dashboard. Loose objects can be
thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in case of an accident and
can injure the occupants.
■
Do not have signal sources in your hand or on your knees while driving.

Preface to navigation
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Main menu

Navigation data
44
First and foremost, pay attention to the safety instructions » page 4 , Impor-
tant notes .
The unit uses the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite system for naviga-
tion. The satellite signal allows you to determine your current vehicle position.
If the unit is outside the range of the GPS satellite signal (e.g. in dense vegeta-
tion, in tunnels, parking garages, etc.), the unit navigates only with restrictions
using on-vehicle sensors.
Navigation is done:
› by graphical instructions in the device screen and Maxi DOT display;
› via voice guidance.
The navigation unit can be operated: › using the buttons on the unit
» page 43;
› using the function keys in the unit screen
» page 43;
› using voice control
» page 13.
› on the MAXI DOT display
» page 12 .
WARNING■
Information about traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking and
stopping restrictions as well as lane constrictions and speed restrictions is
not taken into account for navigation by the unit.■
Always adjust the driving speed to the road, traffic and weather condi-
tions.
■
The navigation announcement provided may vary from current situations,
e.g. due to road works or out-of-date navigation data.
■
The volume should be adjusted to ensure that acoustic signals from out-
side, 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.
CAUTIONIn some countries, some unit features can no longer be selected when the ve-
hicle is running faster than a certain speed. This is not a malfunction, but com-
plies with the national legal regulations.

ing to does not have to be a TMC station.
The reception of TMC traffic reports is always switched on and cannot be
turned off.
The accuracy of the dynamic route guidance depends on the transmitted traf-
fic reports. The radio stations broadcasting this information are responsible for
the content.
TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and saved by the radio navigation
system when navigation data are available for the driven area.

■ Cancel - Cancels the stopover destination input and the destination guidance
to the original destination is continued
■ Stopover - the destination entered is added to the route and guidance to
this destination is initially provided
■ Dir. r. guid. - the destination entered is added as the final destination and
the original final destination is replaced by this new destination
If destination guidance is already provided with the stopover, after a new des-
tination has been entered, the device displays the message Would you like to
replace the current stopover destination or start direct route guidance? and
the following items:
■ Cancel - Cancels the stopover destination input and destination guidance to
the original destinations is continued
■ Replace - The original stopover is replaced with the destination entered and
destination guidance is initially undertaken to this destination while the final
destination remains unchanged
■ Dir. r. guid. - The destination entered is added as the final destination and
the original destinations are replaced by this new destination
If you would like to use the stopover as the final destination and the original final destination as a stopover, then select the Dir. r. guid. input and then in-
put the original final destination again as a stopover.
