Controls and equipmentCommunicationIntroductionThis system allows you to connect your mobile phone to the
vehicle and to use the hands-free mode.The hands-free device means that the telephone can be used inside the
vehicle; the driver will not have to remove their hands from the steering wheel
nor will be distracted from traffic.
Note
•The voice command system is only available in the following languages:
Spanish, German, English, French, Italian and Czech. Other languages (such
as Dutch or Portuguese) will have Spanish as the default language for voice
instructions, and the vehicle must be taken to an Authorised Service Centre
for the change to be made.•There are certain versions of mobile telephone software that contain
errors. These errors may give rise to faulty operation of the vehicle hands-free
system. In this case, consult the Authorised Service Centre for your mobile
telephone.•Some mobile devices do not respond correctly to the orders of the keypad
in hands-free mode. Always use the vehicle controls to interact with the
mobile phone.

Communication
10(incoming call while another call is being taken). When the second call is
received, the information on the dash panel will be updated to indicate “Call
waiting” and the identity of the person/number calling. Use buttons ,
and on the steering wheel controls to select “Replace” to disconnect the
first conversation and start a conversation with the second incoming caller
(the call waiting) or “Reject” to continue talking with the first caller.Dialogue
The voice command system can be activated via the “press to
talk” key on the phone adapter or the key on the multi-func-
tion wheel.In this manual, Dialogue is defined as the time in which the speech control
system may receive vocal commands and provide assistance for completion
of different functions in case the user is hesitant and unsure how to proceed.
The system also responds by vocal messages. The dialogue is started and
interrupted by pressing the “press to talk” button ⇒page 6, fig. 1 .If a call is received, then the dialogue is immediately interrupted. The call can
be accepted by pressing the “answer call” button on the multi-
function steering wheel or by pressing multi-function button on the radio
⇒
page 9, fig. 6 .
Assistance from control commands when orders are not recognized.
If a command is not recognised by the system, it will answer with the cue
and the command can then be given once again clearly. After a
third failure the system will answer with and the dialogue will be
ended.
Note the following to ensure that you are properly understood:
•Speak in a normal tone and without pauses or exaggerated pronuncia-
tion.•Avoid poor articulation of words.•Keep the doors, windows and sun roof closed if possible to avoid back-
ground noises that might affect the system.•Keep the air vents directed away from the microphone (located on the
interior light).•At high speeds, you might need to speak louder to drown out background
noises.•Avoid other noises in the vehicle during a dialogue (e.g. other passengers
speaking in the vehicle).•Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue.•The hands-free microphone is directed towards the driver, therefore, only
the driver should try to operate the system.•To make a call when there is heavy background noise we recommend
using the speech controlled telephone book instead of speaking individual
digits. This will help avoid mistakes when specifying telephone numbers.
Micro off
If, at any time, you do not want to be heard by the person on the other end of
the line during a call, the vehicle microphone can be temporarily disabled
