The Infotainment system provides
you with state-of-the-art in-car
infotainment.
The radio can easily be used by
registering a large number of FM, AM
and DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting)
radio stations with the 1...6 preset
buttons.
You can connect external data
storage devices to the Infotainment
system as further audio sources;
either via cable or via Bluetooth ®

The navigation system reliably guides
you to your destination and, if desired, automatically avoids traffic jams or
other traffic problems.
In addition, the Infotainment system is
equipped with a phone application
that allows for comfortable and safe
use of your mobile phone in the
vehicle.
The Infotainment system can be
operated using the instrument panel
controls, the touch screen, the
controls on the steering wheel or the
speech recognition function.The well-thought-out design of the
control elements and the clear
displays enable you to control the
system easily and intuitively.
Information on operation details and
news on software updates can be
obtained on our website.

Control elements The Infotainment system can be
operated in different ways.
Inputs are made via: ● The central control unit on the instrument panel 3 8
● The touch screen 3 12
● Controls on the steering wheel 3 8
● The speech recognition system 3 45
Notice
Only the most direct ways for menu operation are described in the
subsequent chapters. In some
cases, there may be other options.
Switching the Infotainment
system on or off
Press X VOL briefly. After switching
on, the last selected Infotainment source becomes active.
46Speech recognitionIn such a case you must selectanother 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 17.
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 must
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
must 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 "System
settings" 3 17.
Input order for destination addresses
The order in which the parts of an
address must 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 w on the right side of the
steering wheel.
The audio system mutes, w 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 start a
dialogue sequence with several
dialogue steps (e.g. entering a
destination address), see "Operation
via speech commands" further below.
After a dialogue sequence is finished,
the speech recognition is deactivated
automatically. To initiate another
dialogue sequence, you must activate the speech recognition again.
Speech recognition47Adjusting the volume of voice
prompts
Press w or ─ on the right side of the
steering wheel.
Interrupting a voice prompt
As an experienced user, you can
interrupt a voice prompt by briefly
pressing w on the steering wheel.
A beep is heard immediately, and a
command can be stated without
having to wait.
Cancelling a dialogue sequence
There are several possibilities to
cancel a dialogue sequence and to
deactivate the speech recognition:
● Say " Cancel" or "Exit".
● Press n on the right side of the
steering wheel.In the following situations a dialogue
sequence is automatically cancelled:
● If you do not say any commands for some time (by default you areprompted three times to say a
command).
● If you say commands that are not
recognised by the system (by
default you are prompted three
times to say a correct command).
Operation via speech commands
The speech recognition can
understand commands that are either naturally stated in sentence form, or
direct commands stating the
application and the task.
For best results: ● Listen for the voice prompt and wait for the beep before saying a
command or replying.
● Say " Help" if you want to listen
again to the help prompt for the
current dialogue step.● The voice prompt can be interrupted by pressing w again.
If you wish to directly speak your
command, press w twice.
● Wait for the beep and then speak
the command naturally. In most
cases, recognition rates will be
higher if pauses are kept to a
minimum. Use short and direct
commands.
Usually phone and audio commands
can be spoken in a single command. For example, "Call David Smith",
"Play" followed by the artist or song name, or "Tune to" followed by the
radio frequency and the waveband.
Navigation destinations, however,
are too complex for a single
command. First, state "Navigation"
and then, e.g. "Address" or "Point of
Interest". The system responds with a
request for more details.
After saying "Point of Interest", only
major chains may be selected by
name. Chains are businesses with at
least 20 locations. For other POIs,
say the name of a category, e.g.
"Restaurants", "Shopping centres", or
"Hospitals".
48Speech recognitionDirect 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 relevant
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"
Notice
Say the name of the person you
want to call in the sorting order used in the phone book: "David Smith" or
"Smith, David".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 BACK on the Infotainment
system.
The "Help" command
After saying " Help", the help prompt
for the current dialogue step is read
aloud.
To interrupt the help prompt, press w
again. A beep is heard. You may say
a command.
Voice pass-thru application

steering wheel. The speech
recognition session is ended.
Frequently asked questions63Frequently asked
questionsFrequently asked questions .........63Frequently asked
questions
Speech recognition? The speech recognition function
does not work very well. How can
I improve its performance?
! Wait for the beep and then try to
speak the command naturally.
Avoid long pauses, use little
accentuation and speak at a
moderate volume.

speech recognition system are too long. How can I interrupt them to
directly speak a command?
! To interrupt the voice prompt of the
speech recognition system, press
w on the steering wheel. Wait for
the beep and then speak your
command.
Detailed description 3 46.? I cannot select a phone contact via
speech recognition. What am I
doing wrong?

as they are stored. If the sorting
order is set to "last name, first
name", the correct command for
calling John Smith is "Smith,
John".
Detailed description 3 45.? I cannot enter an address located
in another country via speech
recognition. What am I doing
wrong?
! Via speech recognition, you can
only enter addresses for
destinations located in the country
whose language is selected as
system language, e.g. if the
system is set to German, you
cannot enter a destination located
in France.
