Address input for destinations in

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.To change the display language, see
"Language" in chapter "System
settings" 3 20.
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

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 recognition55Adjusting 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".
