Adjusting sound settings
60DSP ("Digital Signal Processing")GALA are the German initials for the speed-dependent
volume adjustment function.– Press the control button for the Sound function from an audio or
SETUP menu or
– Select DSP ⇒ page 59, fig. 74 .
– Select GALA ⇒ fig. 76.
– Select on of the five levels ⇒ fig. 76 or
– Select off . The function will be switched off.The GALA function boosts the volume level accordingly as the vehicle's speed
increases to drown out background noise.
If you select level 1, the volume will only be boosted slightly as speed
increases. If you select level 5, the volume will be boosted more strongly as
speed increases.
Dynamic noise compensation*Dynamic noise compensation automatically adjusts the music volume so that
the music is not drowned out by background noise. The volume will seem to
maintain its normal decibel strength.
The dynamic noise compensation function responds to both continuous and
transient background noise.
How does the dynamic noise compensation work?
A microphone in the interior registers the music volume and the volume of
background noise. The background noise is then digitally analysed and proc-
essed by the system. At the same time, the sound system boosts the play-
back volume accordingly in the affected frequency range so that the music
can still be heard clearly.
Note
Any malfunction of the AudioPilot system is indicated by a triple warning
gong which sounds when the navigation system is switched on. If this should
happen, please have the AudioPilot system checked by a qualified
workshop.

page 68.•A mobile phone has been connected to the mobile phone adapter
⇒ page 70 or•A Bluetooth connection exists between the Bluetooth mobile phone and
the on-board phone system, and the ignition is switched on ⇒page 71.
The telephone functions described in this chapter depend on the following:•The telephone used must be compatible with the mobile phone adapter
and it must support the telephone functions described.•The mobile network service provider must support the telephone func-
tions described.
After switching off the ignition, the telephone system will remain in standby
mode for about 30 minutes (shutdown delay

•For technical reasons, mobile phones may be temporarily affected by
interference. Please refer to the instru ctions for your mobile phone for more
information.•The range of the handset may be affected in isolated areas (such as a
tunnel or underground garage).•Some places have no range at all. You will not be able to use the tele-
phone in these places.•The activated audio source is muted during a phone conversation.•The basic functions of the telephone can be operated using the multi-
function steering wheel* only if the telephone equipment was installed at the
factory .•For more information about the functions of the multi-function steering
wheel*, please refer to ⇒page 12.

Navigation (NAV)*
98Route without stopover (single destination mode)
In the single destination mode you can drive directly to a destination
⇒ page 104.
If you enter a direct destination and start route guidance, you are given the
option of up to three different routes ⇒page 113.
Route with stopovers (route plan)
In this mode, you can choose to three stopovers and one final destination
( ⇒ page 120).
For example, when travelling you can save time by finding the nearest filling
station in unfamiliar towns. You can also make a stopover to eat in a restau-
rant or visit a tourist attraction ⇒page 106.
Note
You do not receive any information about the meaning of road signs!How does the navigation system work?
The navigation system works with the help of satellites (GPS).The current vehicle position is determined with the aid of distance sensors,
manoeuvre sensors and satellite signals. GPS satellites send the necessary
signals required by the system (GPS stands for “Global Positioning System”).
The information is transmitted to the navigation system and compared with
the information stored in the navigation DVD map database. This way, the
route guidance can be accurately calculated.
Before the system can function, a navigation DVD must be inserted in the
navigation drive. The navigation drive is located behind the system display
⇒page 22, fig. 24 . When the navigation DVD is inserted, the system starts automatically and
navigation destinations can be entered
⇒page 104.
Six different languages (German, Spanish, French, English, Italian and Portu-
guese) are available on the navigation DVD for the audible navigation
prompts. You can change the language for the voice guidance cues via the
option Menu language ⇒ page 154 in the Setup menu.
Note
•Snow or other obstructions on the GPS aerial or interference caused by
trees or large buildings could affect the reception of the satellite signals and
make positioning difficult. GPS reception and vehicle positioning can also be
adversely affected by deactivation or a malfunction of several satellites.•GPS positioning is uni-directional, i.e. the navigation system receives
data for positioning the vehicle, but does not transmit any data.Navigation DVDs
The data relating to the starting point and the destination can
be saved separately in the two navigation DVDs.If this is the case, proceed as follows:
– First put the DVD covering the country of your destination into the navigation drive ⇒page 23.
– Enter your destination ⇒page 104.
– Then put in the DVD for the country where your starting point is located ⇒page 23.
–Start the route guidance ⇒page 112. The navigation system will
calculate the route.
