Guidance ..................................... 71General information
The navigation system will reliably guide you to your destination. There
will be no need to read maps, even if
you have no local knowledge
whatsoever.
The current traffic situation is taken
into account in the route calculation.
For this purpose, the Infotainment
system receives traffic
announcements in the current
reception area via RDS-TMC.
The navigation system cannot,
however, take into account traffic
incidents, traffic regulations changed at short notice and hazards or
problems that arise suddenly (e.g.
road works).Caution
The usage of the navigation
system does not release the driver
from the responsibility for a
correct, vigilant attitude in road
traffic. The relevant traffic
regulations must always be
followed. If a navigation instruction contradicts traffic regulations, the
traffic regulations always apply.
Functioning of the navigation
system
The position and movement of the
vehicle are detected by the navigation
system using sensors. The travelled
distance is determined by the
vehicle's speedometer signal, turning movements on bends by a gyro
sensor. The position is determined by
the GPS satellites (Global Positioning System).
By comparing the sensor signals with the digital maps on the map SD card,
it is possible to determine the position with an accuracy of approx.
10 metres.
The system will also work with poor
GPS reception. However, the
accuracy of the determination of the
position will be reduced.
60Navigation
To be able to use TMC traffic
information, the system has to receive TMC stations in the relevant region.
The TMC traffic stations can be
selected in the navigation menu
3 60.

Downloading contacts data You can exchange your vehicle
contacts list data with Infotainment
systems in other cars:
To upload the data to a USB device,
see "Uploading navigation data to a
USB device" above.
Connect the USB device to the
Infotainment system of another car
3 52.
A message is displayed that prompts
you to confirm the download.
After confirmation, the contacts data
is downloaded to the Infotainment
system.
The downloaded contacts are then
selectable via the CONTACTS menu
3 31.Creating and downloading user
defined POIs (My POIs) In addition to the predefined POIs
already stored in the Infotainment
system, you can create user defined
POIs that meet your personal
requirements. After creation, such
user defined POIs can be
downloaded to the Infotainment
system.
For each POI, you need to define the
GPS coordinates (longitude and
latitude values) of the respective
location and a descriptive name.
After downloading the POI data to the Infotainment system, you will find the
respective POIs as selectable
destinations in the My POIs menu,
see "Selecting a point of interest" in
chapter "Destination input" 3 66.
Creating a text file with POI data Create a text file (e.g. by using a
simple text editor software) with an
arbitrary name and the file
extension .poi, e.g. "TomsPOIs.poi".Notice
Character encoding UTF-8
(Unicode) needs to be selected
when storing the text file. Otherwise
the POI data may not be imported
correctly to the system.
Enter the POI data into the text file in
the following format:
Longitude coordinate, Latitude
coordinate, "Name of POI",
"Additional information", "Phone
number"
Example:
7.0350000, 50.6318040, "Michaels
Home", "Bonn, Hellweg 6",
"02379234567" , see image above.
66Navigation
The GPS coordinates must be
expressed in decimal degrees and
can be taken, e.g., from a
topographical map.
The additional information and phone number strings are optional. If, e.g.,
no additional information is required,
"" needs to be entered at the
respective position.
Example:
7.0350000, 50.6318040, "Michaels
Home", "", "02379234567" .
The POI name and the additional
information string may not exceed 60 characters each. The phone number
string may not exceed 30 characters.
The POI data of each destination
address must be entered in a single
separate line, see image above.
Storing the POI data on a USB drive
In the root directory of a USB drive,
create a folder named " myPOIs",
e.g. "F:\myPOIs", where "F:\" is the
root directory of the USB drive.
In the "myPOIs" folder, store the text
file with your POIs, e.g. "F:\myPOIs
\TomsPOIs.poi".Organising the POI data in several subfolders
Optionally you can organise the text
files in several randomly named
subfolders (max. depth of subfolder
structure: 2).
Examples: F:\myPOIs\AnnsPOIs or
F:\myPOIs\MyJourney\London,
where F:\ is the root directory of the
USB drive.
Notice
In a folder only subfolders or only
POI files may be stored. A mixture of
both will not be imported correctly to the system.
After downloading individual POI data
organised in that way to the
Infotainment system (see download
description further below), the My
POIs menu will show a list of
selectable submenus.
After selecting a submenu, further
submenus or the related list of
imported POI categories will be
displayed.Downloading the POI data to the
Infotainment system
Connect the USB device with your
user defined POI data to the USB port
3 52 of the Infotainment system.
A message is displayed that prompts
you to confirm the download.
After confirmation, the POI data will
be downloaded to the Infotainment system.
The downloaded POIs are then
selectable as destinations via the My
POIs menu, see "Selecting a point of
interest" in chapter "Destination input" 3 66.
Destination input
The navigation application provides
different options to set a destination
for route guidance.
Press ; and then select the NAV icon

Speech recognition77Speech recognitionGeneral information.....................77
Usage .......................................... 79General information
Embedded speech recognition The embedded speech recognition of the Infotainment system enables youto operate various functions of theInfotainment 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 voice 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 performing the
desired actions. 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
kind of action to be performed, like
"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.
Important informationLanguage support ■ Not all languages available for the display of the Infotainment system
are also available for the speech
recognition.
■ If the display language currently selected is not supported by the
78Speech recognition
speech recognition, speech
recognition is not available.
In such a case, you need to select
another language for the display, if
you want to control the Infotainment
system via voice input. For
changing the display language, see "Language" in chapter "System
settings" 3 40.Address input of 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 mayoptionally change the display
language to French, German, or
Italian.
For changing the display language, see "Language" in chapter "Systemsettings" 3 40.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.
■ Austria, Germany:
■ Belgium, France, Great Britain:
■ Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Switzerland:
Setting up the speech recognition Several settings and adaptions for the embedded speech recognition of the
Infotainment system can be
performed.
Press ; and then select the
SETTINGS icon.
Select Voice item to enter the
respective submenu.Confidence Threshold
Depending on the option selected in
the corresponding submenu, the
speech recognition appears more or
less 'confident' in correctly
understanding your commands.
Confirm More : If selected, the system
asks you relatively often to confirm your commands. Consequently, the
system performs the correct action in most cases.
Speech recognition79
Confirm Less: If selected, the system
asks you less often to confirm your
voice inputs. Consequently, the
system might sometimes misinterpret your commands and not perform the
correct action.
Notice
When starting to use the speech
recognition, it may be advantageous
to use the Confirm More setting. As
you get more experienced, i.e., you
get to know how to pronounce your
commands in a way the speech
recognition understands you
correctly, it may be advantageous to
use the Confirm Less setting.Prompt Length
The length and the level of detail of
the questions and statements the
speech recognition gives out can be
adjusted in the corresponding
submenu.Audio Feedback Speed
The speed with which the speech
recognition asks questions or makes statements can be adjusted in the
corresponding submenu.If Medium is selected, the system's
speech rate corresponds to natural
speech.
Notice
When starting to use the speech
recognition, it may be advantageous
to use the Long setting. As you get
more experienced, it may be
advantageous to use the Short
setting.
Voice pass-thru application
The voice pass-thru application of the Infotainment system allows access tothe speech recognition commands on
your smartphone. See your
smartphone manufacturer's user
guide to find out whether your
smartphone supports this feature.
