Usage .......................................... 57General information
Embedded speech recognition The speech recognition of the
Infotainment system enables you to operate various functions of the
Infotainment system via voice input. It recognises commands and numeric
sequences independently of the
relevant speaker. The commands
and numeric sequences can be
spoken without a pause between the
individual words.
In the event of incorrect operation or commands, the speech recognition
gives visual and/or acoustic feedback
and requests you to re-enter the
desired command. Apart from this,
the speech recognition
acknowledges important commands
and will enquire if necessary.
In general, there are different ways to
speak commands for completing the
tasks. Most of them, except
destination entry and voice keypad,
can be completed in a single
command.If the action takes more than one
command to be performed, proceed
as follows:
In the first command, you indicate the
type of action to be performed, e.g.
"Navigation destination entry". The
system replies with prompts that lead you through a dialogue for entering
the necessary information. For
example, if a destination for route
guidance is needed, say "Navigation"
or "Destination entry".
Notice
To ensure that conversations inside
the vehicle do not lead to
unintentional triggering of the
system functions, the speech
recognition does not start until it has been activated.
Language support ■ Not all languages available for the display of the Infotainment system
are also available for the speech
recognition.
■ If the currently selected display language is not supported by the
speech recognition, speech
recognition is not available.

Speech recognition57
In such a case you need to select
another language for the display if
you want to control the Infotainment system via voice input. Changing
the display language, see
"Language" in chapter "System
settings" 3 21.
Address input for destinations in foreign countries
In case you want to enter the address of a destination located in a foreign
country via voice input, you need to
change the language of the
Infotainment display to the language
of the foreign country.
E.g. if the display is currently set to English and you want to enter the
name of a city located in France, you
need to change the display language
to French.
Exceptions: If you want to enter
addresses in Belgium, you may
optionally change the display
language to French or Dutch. For
addresses in Switzerland you may
optionally change the display
language to French, German, or
Italian.For changing the display language, see "Language" in chapter "Systemsettings" 3 21.
Input order for destination addresses
The order in which the parts of an
address need to be entered using the speech recognition system is
dependent on the country where the
destination is located.
An example for the respective input
order is given out by the system.
Voice pass-thru application
The voice pass-thru application of the Infotainment system allows access tothe speech recognition commands on
your smartphone. See the operating
instructions for your smartphone to
find out whether your smartphone
supports this feature.Usage
Embedded speech recognition Activating speech recognition Notice
Speech recognition is not available
during an active phone call.
Press the w button on the right side of
the steering wheel.
The audio system mutes, the w
symbol on the display is highlighted, and a voice output message prompts you to say a command.
As soon as the speech recognition is
ready for voice input, a beep is heard.
You can now say a voice command to directly initiate a system function
(e.g. playing a radio station), or to

least 20 locations. For other POIs,
say the name of a category, e.g.
"Restaurants", "Shopping centres", or
"Hospitals".
Direct commands are easier
understood by the system, e.g. "Call
01234567".
If you say "Phone", the system
understands that a phone call is
requested and responds with
respective questions until enough
details are gathered. If the phone
number has been saved with a name
and a place, the direct command
should include both, for example "Call David Smith at work".Selecting list items
When a list is displayed, a voice
prompt asks to confirm or select an
item from that list. A list item may be
manually selected, or by speaking the
line number of the item.
The list on a speech recognition
screen functions the same as a list on
other screens. Manually scrolling the
list on a screen during a speech
recognition session suspends the current speech recognition event andplays a prompt like "Make your
selection from the list using the
manual controls, or press the back
button on the faceplate to try again".
If no manual selection is made within
15 seconds, the speech recognition session terminates, you are prompted with a message, and the former
screen is redisplayed.The "Back" command
To return to the previous dialogue
step, alternatively: say " Back", or
press the BACK button on the
instrument panel.The "Help" command

Bluetooth connection
Bluetooth is a radio standard for the
wireless connection of e.g. mobile
phones, iPod/iPhone models, or other devices.
To be able to set up a Bluetooth
connection to the Infotainment
system, the Bluetooth function of the
Bluetooth device must be activated.
For further information, please
consult the operating instructions for
the Bluetooth device.
Via the Bluetooth menu, pairing (PIN
code exchange between Bluetooth device and Infotainment system) and
connecting of the Bluetooth devices
to the Infotainment system are carried
out.
Important information ■ Up to five devices can be paired to the system.
■ Only one paired device can be connected to the Infotainment
system at a time.
■ Pairing normally only needs to be carried out once, unless the device
is deleted from the list of paired
devices. If the device has been connected previously, the
Infotainment system establishes
the connection automatically.
■ Bluetooth operation considerably drains the device's battery.
Therefore, connect the device to

In some networks it may be
necessary for a valid SIM card to
be properly inserted in the mobile
phone.

Phone639Warning
Bear in mind that you can make
and receive calls with the mobile
phone, if it is in a service area with
a sufficiently strong signal. Under
certain circumstances emergency
calls cannot be made on all mobile phone networks; it is possible that
they cannot be made when certain network services and/or telephone
functions are active. You can
enquire about this with the local
network operators.
The emergency call number can
differ depending on the region and country. Please enquire
beforehand about the correct
emergency call number for the
relevant region.

Operation
As soon as a connection via
Bluetooth has been set up between
your mobile phone and the
Infotainment system, you can also
operate many functions of your
mobile phone via the Infotainment
system.
After setting up a connection between the mobile phone and the
Infotainment system, the mobile
phone data is transmitted to the
Infotainment system. This can take
some time depending on the phone
model. During this period, operation
of the mobile phone is possible via the

Not every telephone supports all
functions of the phone application.
Therefore, deviations from the range
of functions described are possible.
