44Phone mode
If the system does not recognise your command, there is a first help option
which allows a new input. After the second failed attempt, the system re-
peats the second part of the assistance cue. After a third failure the system
will answer with “Operation cancelled” and the dialogue will be ended.
Disconnecting voice control (Dialogue)
Briefly press the “PTT” button ⇒ Fig. 25 or ⇒ Fig. 26 on the steering
wheel multifunction control to end the dialogue at any moment. If the sys-
tem is waiting for a command, you can end the dialogue with the “CANCEL”
command.
Interrupting an on-going message
By pressing the “PTT button” ⇒ Fig. 25 or ⇒ Fig. 26 during the mes-
sage, only the current message is ended and it is possible to give another
command.
Proper use of the voice control
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 back-
ground noises.
● Avoid other noises in the vehicle during a dialogue (e.g. other passen-
gers speaking in the vehicle).
● Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue. ●
The hands-free microphone is directed towards the driver, therefore, on-
ly the driver should try to operate the system.
● To make a call when there is heavy background noise we recommend us-
ing the speech controlled telephone book instead of speaking individual
digits. This will help avoid mistakes when specifying telephone numbers.

The user can change the language in the instrument panel using the multi-

If you need to increase the output volume for the external audio source, first
lower the base volume on the radio system ⇒ page 9.
If the sound from the external audio source is too quiet, increase the output
volume on the external audio source if possible. If this is not sufficient, set
the input volume (AUX VOL LEVEL) in the system settings to level 2 or level 3.
If the sound from the connected external audio source is too loud or distor-
ted, lower the output volume on the external audio source if possible. If this
is not sufficient, set AUX VOL LEVEL to level 2 or level 1.

The GALA function automatically adjusts the volume in line with the speed
of the vehicle.
You can set the degree to which the volume increases with speed on a scale
between 1 and 7.

If a low value is set, the volume increases only slightly as the speed of the
vehicle increases. At a high setting the volume increases further. At 0
speed-dependent volume adjustment is switched off.

DAB-FM LINKING Function ON
If reception of the currently selected DAB station is lost (e.g. no DAB availa-
ble), the unit attempts to find the station on the FM frequency band and
tune to it.
Automatic station tracking between frequency bands only works if the DAB
station and the FM station transmit the same station identifier or the DAB
signal indicates a corresponding station on the FM frequency band.
If a corresponding FM station is found, (FM) is displayed next to the station
name. When reception for the corresponding DAB station returns, the unit
will switch back to DAB mode after a short time.
