36NavigationNavigationGeneral information.....................36
Usage .......................................... 37
Destination input ..........................41
Guidance ..................................... 49General information
The navigation application will reliably guide you to your destination without
the need to read maps.
The current traffic situation is taken
into account in the route calculation.
For this reason, the Infotainment
system receives traffic
announcements in the current
reception area via RDS-TMC.
The navigation application 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
application
The position and movement of the
vehicle are detected by the navigation application using sensors. The
travelled distance is determined by
the vehicle's speedometer signal and
turning movements on bends by a
gyro sensor. The position is
determined by the GPS (Global
Positioning System) satellites.
By comparing the sensor signals with the digital maps, 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.
After the entry of the destination
address or point of interest (nearest
petrol station, hotel, etc.) the route is
calculated from the current location to
the destination selected.
Route guidance is provided by voice
commands and a direction arrow, as
well as with the aid of a multi-colour
map display.

Speech recognition53Speech recognitionGeneral information.....................53
Usage .......................................... 54
Speech commands overview .......57General information
Embedded speech recognition
The speech recognition of the
Infotainment system enables you to operate various functions of the
Infotainment 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 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 completing the
tasks. 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 type of action to be performed, e.g.
"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.
Language support ● Not all languages available for the display of the Infotainment
system are also available for the
speech recognition.
● If the currently selected display language is not supported by thespeech recognition, speech
recognition is not available.
