Speech recognition? The speech recognition function
does not work very well. How can
I improve its performance?

speak the command naturally.
Avoid long pauses, use little
accentuation and speak at a
moderate volume.

speech recognition system are too long. How can I interrupt them to
directly speak a command?
! To interrupt the voice prompt of the

w on the steering wheel. Wait for
the beep and then speak your

Detailed description 3 53.? I cannot select a phone contact via
speech recognition. What am I
doing wrong?

accesses the phone book entries
as they are stored. If the sorting
order is set to "last name, first
name", the correct command for
calling John Smith is "Smith,
John".
Detailed description 3 52.? I cannot enter an address located
in another country via speech
recognition. What am I doing
wrong?

only enter addresses for
destinations located in the country
whose language is selected as
system language, e.g. if the

cannot enter a destination located
in France.

The Infotainment system provides
you with state-of-the-art in-car
infotainment.
For the AM, FM and DAB wavebands the radio is equipped with twelve
automatically assignable channel presets. Furthermore, various
channels can be allocated manually
(waveband-independent).
The integrated audio player will
entertain you with audio CDs and MP3/WMA CDs.
Furthermore, you can connect
external data storage devices to the
Infotainment system as further audio
sources.
The digital sound processor provides
you with several preset equalizer
modes for sound optimisation.
Optionally, the Infotainment system
can be operated using controls on the steering wheel.
The well-thought-out design of the
control elements, the clear displays
and a large multifunction knob enable
you to control the system easily and
intuitively.Notice
This manual describes all options
and features available for the
various Infotainment systems.
Certain descriptions, including those for display and menu functions, may
not apply to your vehicle due to
model variant, country
specifications, special equipment or
accessories.
Important information on
operation and traffic safety9 Warning

used so that the vehicle can be
driven safely at all times. If in
doubt, stop the vehicle and
operate the Infotainment system
while the vehicle is stationary.

Introduction79Radio receptionRadio reception may be disrupted bystatic, noise, distortion or loss of
reception due to:
● changes in distance from the transmitter
● multi-path reception due to reflection
● shadowing

with an electronic security system for
the purpose of theft-deterrence.
The Infotainment system therefore
