traffic announcements of the FM
station which is currently best
receivable are issued. Deactivate
TP, if you do not wish DAB
reception to be interrupted by FM
traffic announcements.
Configuring DAB
Press the CONFIG button.
Select Radio settings and then DAB
settings .
The following options are available in
the configuration menu:
■ Auto ensemble linking : with this
function activated, the device switches over to the same service
(programme) on another DAB
ensemble (frequency, if available)
when the DAB signal is too weak to
be picked up by the receiver.
■ Auto linking DAB-FM : with this
function activated, the device
switches over to a corresponding
FM station of the active DAB
service (if available) when the DAB signal is too weak to be picked up
by the receiver.
■ Dynamic audio adaption : with this
function activated, the dynamic
range of the DAB signal is reduced.
That means the level of the loud
sounds is reduced, but not the level of the quiet sounds. Therefore the
volume of the Infotainment systemcan be raised to a point where the
quiet sounds are audible, without
the loud sounds being too loud.
■ Frequency band : after selection of
this option it can be defined which
DAB wavebands are to be received
by the Infotainment system.

Speech recognition109Speech recognitionGeneral information...................109
Phone control ............................ 110General information
The speech recognition of the
Infotainment system enables you to
operate the phone portal via voice input. It recognises commands and
numeric sequences independently of
the relevant speaker. The commands and numeric sequences can be
spoken without a voice pause
between the individual words.
You can save telephone numbers
assigning a name of your choice
(voice tag). Using these names, you
can later set up a telephone
connection.
In the event of incorrect operation or commands the speech recognition
gives you visual and/or acoustic
feedback and requests you to re-
enter the desired command. Apart
from this, the speech recognition
acknowledges important commands
and will enquire if necessary.
To ensure that conversations inside
the vehicle do not lead to
unintentional triggering of systemfunctions, the speech recognition
does not start until it has been
activated.
Important notes on language
support ■ Not all languages available for the display of the Infotainment system
are also available for the speech
recognition.
■ If the currently selected language for the display is not supported by
the speech recognition, you need to enter the voice commands in
English.
To be able to enter voice
commands in English, you first
need to activate the phone main
menu by pressing the PHONE
button on the Infotainment system,
and then activate the speech
recognition of the phone portal by
pressing button w on the steering
wheel.

Cancelling a dialogueThere are various ways of

wheel.
■ Say " Cancel".
■ Do not enter (say) any commands for some time.
■ After the third unrecognised command.Operation
With the aid of the speech recognition
the mobile phone can be operated
very conveniently via voice input. It is
sufficient to activate the speech
recognition and to enter (say) the
desired command. After input of the
command the Infotainment system
guides you through the dialogue with
appropriate questions and feedback
to achieve the desired action.
Main commands
After activation of the speech
recognition a short tone signals that
the speech recognition is expecting
input.
Main commands available: ■ " Dial "
■ " Call "
■ " Redialing "
■ " Save "
■ " Delete "
■ " Directory "
■ " Pair "■ "Select device "
■ " Voice feedback "
Commands that are frequently
available
■ " Help ": the dialogue is terminated
and all commands available within
the actual function are enumerated.
■ " Cancel ": the speech recognition is
deactivated.
■ " Yes ": a suitable action is triggered
depending on the context.
■ " No ": a suitable action is triggered
depending on the context.
Entering a telephone number
After the command " Dial" the speech
recognition requests input of a
number.
The telephone number must be
spoken in your normal voice without
any artificial pauses between the
individual numbers.
Recognition works best if a pause of
at least half a second is made after
every three to five digits. The
Infotainment system then repeats the
numbers recognised.
