e.g. “00”.
Say the phone number in the form of a
continuous string of digits or as blocks of
digits, e.g. three to five digits.
Voice control repeats the digits it recognizes
after each block of digits (with a pause of
about half a second between each block of
digits) and waits for you to continue speaking.

NavigationGWarning!
For safety reasons, you should only select a
destination when the vehicle is stationary.
While the navigation system provides
directional assistance, the driver must remain
focused on safe driving behavior, especially
pay attention to traffic and street signs, and
should utilize the system’s audio cues while
driving.
The navigation system does not supply any
information on stop signs, yield signs, traffic
regulations or traffic safety rules. Their
observance always remains in the driver’s
personal responsibility. DVD maps do not
cover all areas nor all routes within an area.
Traffic regulations always have priority over
any route recommendations given. Bear in
mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.
During route guidance, you will not receive
information on:
R traffic lights
R stop and yield signs
R parking or stopping zones
R one-way streets
R narrow bridges
R other traffic regulation data
You should therefore always strictly observe
traffic regulations while driving. Drive
carefully and always obey traffic laws and
road signs, even if they contradict navigation
system instructions.
GWarning!
Please do not use the Voice Control System
in an emergency, as the tone of your voice
may change in a stressful situation. This could
cause a delay in completing your phone call
in a timely manner. This could distract you in
an emergency situation and cause you to be
involved in an accident.
Operation
You can use voice control to:
R enter a state
R enter a province
R enter a city
R enter a district (center)
R enter a street
R enter an intersection
R enter a house number
R enter an entire address
R enter a zip code
R find address
R enter a point of interest
R select one of your previous destinations
R call up route information
R store a destination
R display the map
R enlarge/reduce the size of the map

Address Book
GWarning!
Please devote your attention first and
foremost to the traffic situation you are in.
Before your journey, please familiarize
yourself with the address book functions.
Only use the Voice Control System when road
and traffic conditions permit you to do so.
Otherwise you could be involved in an
accident in which you or others could be
injured.
Overview
The address book gives you the option of
storing information about people in the form
of entries.
Using voice control, you can dial a phone
number stored in the address book or start
route guidance for a stored address.
Apart from the speaker-dependent voice
names stored in the address book, voice
control can recognize all the entries in the
name fields of the address book. Recognition
of the entries in the address book depends on
the text that was entered. To make a call you
must say the text of the entry.
Check the address book entries for the
following:
R The name entries, e.g. last name and first
name, are in the right fields.
R Do not use abbreviations or acronyms.
R Avoid unnecessary spaces in names.
R Do not use special characters.
You can improve voice recognition by saving
a speaker-dependent voice name for address
book entries.
Use a speaker-dependent voice name:
R for names which are difficult to pronounce
R to distinguish names which sound similar
R for names which are not pronounced as
they are written
Voice control can store up to 50 of these
address book entries by means of a speaker-
dependent voice name.
Operation
You can use voice control at any time to:
R save a name
R select a name
R delete a name
R list the address book
R delete the address book
R open the address book
R open an entry from the address book
R list the phone book
R list the destination memory
