WARNING■Please pay attention to the traffic first and foremost! As the driver you
are fully responsible for road safety. Only use the system so that you are in
full control of your vehicle in every traffic situation - risk of accident!■
Do not use the voice control system when under stress or in an emergen-
cy. Your voice commands may not be recognized in such situations. The tel-
ephone connection may not be established or the connection may take too
much time to complete. The emergency number should be dialled manually!

Requirements for optimum voice command recognition.
› Only give voice commands when the symbol is displayed on the device
screen or in the information display.
› Speak with a normal tone of voice without intonation and excessive pauses.
› Avoid a bad pronunciation.
› Close doors, windows and the sliding roof, in order to prevent external dis-
turbances affecting recognition of the voice commands.
› It is recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the tone of your
voice is louder than the increased surrounding noise.
› During voice control, limit additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. passengers
talking at the same time.
CAUTION
For some languages, there is no voice control available. This device indicates
this fact through a text message that is displayed after setting the device lan-
guage screen » page 17.Note■
During voice control, no navigation announcements and traffic announce-
ments are played.■
Some voice commands must be spelled out when pronouncing depending on
the selected language of communication, such as the Source Selection “ SD”

The device allows analogue radio reception of FM and AM frequency ranges as
well as DAB digital radio reception.
Radio reception DAB allows multiple stations to be transmitted in a single fre-
quency in the form of a so-called ensemble. It also allows for the transmission
of additional data and information (e.g. messages, sport, weather, warnings,
etc.).
CAUTION
■ Car parks, tunnels, tall buildings or mountains can interfere with the radio
signal even causing it to fail completely.■
In countries where the RDS function is not supported sufficiently, we recom-
mend turning off the AF and RDS settings. Otherwise, these settings can af-
fect the functionality of the radio.
■
For vehicles with window antennas, if the windows have foil stuck to them
or metal-coated stickers this may cause you to experience some interference.

Navigation data

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 device display screen and in the display of the in-
strument cluster;
› by announcements.
The navigation unit can be operated:
› using the buttons on the unit
» page 47;
› using the function keys in the unit screen
» page 47;
› using voice control
» page 16.
› via the display of the instrument cluster
» page 12 .
WARNING■
E.g. information about traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking
and stopping restrictions as well as lane constrictions or speed restrictions
is not detected for navigation by the device.■
Always adjust the driving speed to the road, traffic and weather condi-
tions.
WARNING (Continued)■ The nav. announcements provided may vary from the actual 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.
CAUTION
In some countries, some unit features can no longer be selected when the ve-
hicle is running faster than a certain speed. These limitations comply with na-
tional legal requirements.
