Introduction to the subject
Applies to Infotainment Columbus, Amundsen, Bolero.
The navigation, telephone, radio and media menu can be operated by voice
commands.
The voice control system can be used either by the driver or by the front pas-
senger.
Function requirements for voice control Infotainment is switched on.
There will be no telephone call using a phone connected to Infotainment.
The parking aid is not active.
Requirements for optimum voice command recognition
▶ Speak at your normal volume without intonation and long pauses.
▶ Avoid bad pronunciation.
▶ Close the doors and windows in order to avoid disturbing environmental in-
fluences on the function of the voice commands.
▶ You are recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the sound of
your voice is not drowned out by the increased ambient noise.
▶ During voice control, limit additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. passengers
talking at the same time.
WARNINGThe emergency number should be dialled manually. Your voice commands
may not be recognised in such situations. The telephone connection may
not be established or the connection may take too much time to complete.
CAUTION
■ The messages are generated by Infotainment. Flawless clarity (e.g. road or
city name) cannot always be guaranteed.■
For some Infotainment languages, there is no voice control available. Info-
tainment indicates this fact through a text message that is displayed on the
screen after setting the Infotainment language.
Note
During voice control, no nav. announcements and traffic announcements are
played.127Infotainment operation

DriveGreen function
213Run in engine
During the first 1,500 km, the driving manner determines the quality of the
running in process on a new engine.
During the first 1,000 km , the engine should not be charged with more than
3/4 of the maximum permitted engine revs and without the trailer.
In the area of 1,000 to 1,500 kilometres , the engine load can be increased up
to the maximum permitted engine speed.
Tips for economical driving
The fuel consumption depends on the driving style, road condition, weather
conditions and the like.
For an economical driving style, the following instructions must be observed. ▶ Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.
▶ Observe the recommended gear » page 44.
▶ Avoid full throttle and high speeds.
▶ Reduce idling.
▶ Avoid short distances.
▶ Ensure the correct tyre inflation pressure is maintained » page 286.
▶ Avoid unnecessary ballast.
▶ Remove the roof rack when it is not needed.
▶ Only switch on electrical consumers (e.g. seat heating) for as long as they are
needed. In the Infotainment menu
→
→
Convenience consumers
up to
three consumers who currently have the largest share of fuel consumption,
can be displayed.
▶ Before switching on, ventilate the cooling system briefly and do not use the
cooling system with open windows.
▶ Do not leave windows open at high speed.

Mode - traverse parking
229
Mode - parallel parking

The rear view camera (following as system) helps the driver when parking and
manoeuvring by displaying the area behind the vehicle on Infotainment screen
(hereinafter only known as screen).
There are four modes available for different situations during the park and ma-
noeuvring action. The mode change is carried out using the function surfaces
on the screen » page 228.
WARNING■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 215, in section Introduction .■
The system detects obstacles. The display of the auxiliary boxes and lines
is independent of the actual vehicle environment. The driver must judge for
themselves whether the vehicle can park safely in the selected parking
space.
■
The camera may not be soiled or obscured, otherwise the system function
will be significantly affected - there is a risk of accident. For information on
cleaning » page 271 .
CAUTION■
The camera image is distorted by contrast with eyesight. For this reason, the
screen display is only of limited use for estimating distances to following vehi-
cles.■
Some items, such as thin posts, chain link fences, grilles or uneven road sur-
faces may not be properly displayed in terms of screen resolution.
■
In a crash or damage the vehicle's rear camera can possibly deviate from the
correct position. If this is the case, have the sensor checked by a specialist ga-
rage.
Note
The camera is equipped with a cleaning system » page 75. The spraying is car-
ried out automatically when the rear window is sprayed.
