First and foremost, pay attention to the safety instructions » page 4 , Impor-
tant notes .
Some equipment functions can be operated using voice commands. This accel-
erates the use of the device and increases comfort while driving.
Voice control can be used in the Radio, Media , Phone and Navigation menus.
The voice control system can be operated either by the driver or by the front
passenger.
WARNING■ Please pay attention to the traffic first and foremost. As the driver you
are fully responsible for road safety. Only use the system in a way that
leaves you in full control of your vehicle in every traffic situation – there is
the risk of an accident.■
Do not use the voice control system under stress or in an emergency.
Your voice commands may not be recognized in such situations. In such cir-
cumstances it may not be possible to establish a telephone connection or
the connection may take too much time to complete. The emergency num-
ber should be dialled manually.

Navigation data

First and foremost, pay attention to the safety instructions » page 4 , Impor-
tant notes .
The unit uses the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite system for naviga-
tion. The satellite signal allows you to determine your current vehicle position.
If the unit is outside the range of the GPS satellite signal (e.g. in dense vegeta-
tion, in tunnels, parking garages, etc.), the unit navigates only with restrictions
using on-vehicle sensors.
Navigation is done:
› by graphical instructions in the device screen and Maxi DOT display;
› via voice guidance.
The navigation unit can be operated: › using the buttons on the unit
» page 43;
› using the function keys in the unit screen
» page 43;
› using voice control
» page 13.
› on the MAXI DOT display
» page 12 .
WARNING■
Information about traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking and
stopping restrictions as well as lane constrictions and speed restrictions is
not taken into account for navigation by the unit.■
Always adjust the driving speed to the road, traffic and weather condi-
tions.
■
The navigation announcement provided may vary from current situations,
e.g. due to road works or out-of-date navigation data.
■
The volume should be adjusted to ensure that acoustic signals from out-
side, e.g. sirens from vehicles which have the right of way, such as police,
ambulance and fire brigade vehicles, can be heard at all time.
CAUTIONIn some countries, some unit features can no longer be selected when the ve-
hicle is running faster than a certain speed. This is not a malfunction, but com-
plies with the national legal regulations.
