Special destination.
The navigation system can also guide you to special destinations
such as petrol stations or hotels. When entering your destination,
simply choose the approximate location of the special destination
(in the immediate vicinity, in the vicinity of the destination or nation-
wide). You can then select the category of the special destination
from a list (e.g. petrol station or hotel). The MMI display even indi-
cates the direction of the special destinations (arrows).
In immediate vicinity
The special destination is located in the immediate vicinity of your
vehicle. The special destinations are sorted according to the
distance from your current location, starting with the closest. You
can use this function, for example, to plan stopovers (closest restau-
rant).In vicinity of destination
The special destination is located in the vicinity of your destination.
You can use this function, for example, to find a petrol station near
your destination.
Nationwide
A special destination can be found irrespective of your current posi-
tion and your navigation destination. You can use this function, for
example, to navigate to an airport in the selected country.
Call: (telephone number)*
If telephone numbers are stored for a special destination on the
navigation DVD and your vehicle is equipped with a factory-fitted
telephone*, you can call the selected special destination. For
example, you can call a restaurant and reserve a table before driving
to the destination.
Note
There are certain destination entries in the list that cannot be
displayed completely because they are too long (too many charac-
ters). If you select one of these entries, a separate window will be
displayed after a few seconds. This window will show more informa-
tion about the selected entry.

Telephone speech control system 160
Telephone speech control system
Applies to vehicles: with telephone speech control system
Introduction
You can use speech commands to operate various func-
tions of the telephone.
Functions
The speech control and hands-free system together enable you to
operate the on-board phone system very conveniently. The speech
control system recognises commands and digits spoken by
different people.
The speech control system allows you to do the following:
•Store name tags page 164
•Enter and dial a telephone number page 163
Traffic reports are not announced during a running dialogue. The
dialogue will be ended immediately when an incoming phone call is
received.
Unrecognised speech commands
The system acknowledges your commands with a tone signal. If the
system does not recognise a speech command, it will answer with
failed attempt the system will answer with
dialogue will be ended.
How to help the system understand you
•Speak clearly in a normal volume. Speak louder if you are driving
fast.
•Speak in a normal tone without long pauses.
•Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue.
•Close doors, windows and sun roof* to reduce background
noise. Make sure that passengers are not talking when you say a
command.
•Keep the air outlets of the air distribution system pointed away
from the microphone, which is fitted in the vicinity of the front inte-
rior lights.
•The system should only be operated by the driver, since the
hands-free microphone is directed towards the driver.
Should the system say
the status of the speech control system:
•Is the MMI active and the ignition on?
•Does a Bluetooth connection exist between the mobile phone
and the on-board phone system (car telephone kit* or phone pre-
installation*)?
•Is the mobile phone inserted in the mobile phone adapter*25)?
•Is the mobile phone switched on and the PIN entered?
•Are the phone book entries being loaded from the mobile phone
into the on-board phone system (car telephone kit* page 29 or
phone pre-installation* page 23)?
WARNING
•Please direct your full attention to the road at all times! As the
driver, you have full responsibility for the safety of the vehicle and
other road users. For this reason, you should only use the func-
tions in a manner that allows you to maintain control of the
vehicle in all situations - accident risk!
•The speech control system must not be used in cases of emer-
gency, since the voice changes in stressful situations. This could
result in a failed or delayed telephone connection. Always dial
emergency numbers manually!
