The multi-function steering wheel enables quick and easy 
operation of selected functions of the navigation system.
To minimise distraction when using the navigation system and its compo-
nents, the multi-function steering wheel has integrated buttons for operating 
the basic audio functions. However, this applies only if your vehicle equip-
ment was  factory-fitted.
The functions are operated by pressing and scrolling the controls   to   on 
the multi-function steering wheel  ⇒fig. 14 :•Press the   button   repeatedly to switch the display between the 
various modes and the phone book*    ⇒fig. 14 .•Scroll and press the left thumbwheel   to select a function from one of

the talk button  . Press the talk button again to deactivate the telephone

of the audio systems.

SETUP
– Press the control button Start ⇒ page 92, fig. 99  to begin the 
route guidance.A soon as a number appears on the right in the entry field (e.g.  23  
⇒ page 91, fig. 98) you can select the option  List in the speller to select a 
town from the list. The number   indicates how many towns are included in 
the list.
The navigation system also remembers your last destinations and displays 
possible matches in the speller entry space. You can also select one of these 
destinations by pressing and holding the rotary pushbutton to copy the desti-
nation into the destination input menu ⇒ page 90, fig. 97.
You can switch from the speller for letters to the speller for numbers to be able 
to enter special characters (e.g. dash, apostrophe or full stop) for a town 
name or to enter a post code for a town  ⇒page 94.
Follow the directions shown in the dash panel display  ⇒page 88 and the 
spoken cues  ⇒page 87.
Selecting “City Centre”
The navigation system considers the centre of the location indicated as the 
final destination.
Selecting “Street”
You can specify the destination more precisely by entering a street name.
After entering a street name, you can also define your destination more 
specifically by entering an  Intersection or House No  (number).
Selecting “Special destination in town”
You can select a special destination in the specified city. For example, you can 
navigate directly to tourist attractions or public facilities (e.g. hospital, 
cinema, recreation areas). If you would like to find a particular special destination independently of the 
city, select 
Special destination  ⇒ page 94 in the destination entry menu after 
selecting the country.
Note
•Once you have entered a city in the keyboard, you can confirm the entry 
by pressing and holding down the control knob. When you have entered the 
first few letters of a place name and can already see the place you wish to 
select listed in the speller display, you can press the rotary pushbutton (long 
press) to switch to the list of places.•Once the destinations have been entered, they can be stored in the direc-
tory ⇒ page 100 from where they can be loaded (using the “Load route” 
⇒ page 99 function) for reuse as a navigation destination.•Route options can be changed at any time during the route guidance; the 
system will then recalculate the route accordingly  ⇒page 95.
