24Radio● As long as a given DAB receivercan pick up the signal sent out bya broadcasting station (even if
the signal is very weak), sound
reproduction is ensured.
● In the event of poor reception, the
volume is reduced automatically
to avoid the output of
disagreeable noises.
If the DAB signal is too weak to
be picked up by the receiver,
reception is interrupted
completely. This incident can be
avoided by activating DAB-FM
auto tracking, see below.
● Interference caused by stations that are on nearby frequencies (a
phenomenon that is typical of AM and FM reception) does not
occur with DAB.
● If the DAB signal is reflected by natural obstacles or buildings,
the reception quality of DAB is
improved, whereas AM or FM
reception is considerably
impaired in such cases.
● When DAB reception is enabled, the FM tuner of the Infotainmentsystem remains active in thebackground and continually
searches for the best receivable
FM stations. If Traffic
announcement 3 23 is activated,
traffic announcements of the FM
station with the best reception
are issued. Deactivate Traffic
announcement if DAB reception
should not be interrupted by FM
traffic announcements.
DAB Announcements Besides their music programmes, a
lot of DAB stations also broadcast
announcements of various
categories. If you activate some or all
categories, the currently received
DAB service is interrupted when an
announcement of these categories is
made.
In the radio main menu select
OPTIONS , select Radio settings and
then select Announcements .
Activate the desired announcement
categories, e.g., News or Weather .
Different announcement categories
can be selected at the same time.DAB-FM auto tracking
If this function is activated, the device
switches over to a corresponding FM
station of the active DAB service (if
available) when the DAB signal is too weak to be picked up by the receiver.

30NavigationNavigationGeneral information.....................30
Usage .......................................... 31
Destination input ..........................34
Guidance ..................................... 38General information
The navigation system will reliably guide you to your destination.
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 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
output and an arrow, as well as with
the aid of a multi-colour map display.
Navigation31Important informationTMC traffic information system and
dynamic route guidance
The TMC traffic information system
receives all current traffic information from TMC radio stations. This
information is included in the
calculation of the overall route. During
this process, the route is planned so that traffic problems related to pre-
selected criteria are avoided.
To be able to use TMC traffic
information, the system must receive
TMC stations in the relevant region.
Map data
All required map data is stored within
the Infotainment system.
To update the navigation map data,
we recommend to contact your Opel
Service Partner.
Usage

map showing the area around the
current location.Route guidance not active

Speech recognition41Speech recognitionGeneral information.....................41
Usage .......................................... 42General information
Embedded speech recognition
The embedded 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 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.
Notice
To ensure that conversations inside
the vehicle do not lead to
unintentional triggering of thesystem 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
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. To change the display
language 3 18.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 Info-
Display to the language of the foreign country.
42Speech recognitionE.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.
For changing the display language,
see "Language" in chapter "System
settings" 3 18.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.
If the speech recognition system
rejects your address entry, repeat the
command with a different order of the
address parts.
Voice pass-thru application
The voice pass-thru application of the
Infotainment system allows access to the speech recognition commands on
your smartphone.
Voice pass-through is available via
the phone projection applications
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
3 29.
Usage

You can now say a voice command to initiate a system function (e.g. playing
a preset radio station).
Adjusting the volume of voice
prompts
Press volume button on the steering wheel upwards (increase volume)
À or downwards (decrease volume)
Á .
Interrupting a voice prompt
As an experienced user, you can

Alternatively you can say "Set
dialogue mode as expert".
A beep is heard immediately, and a
command can be stated without
having to wait.
Cancelling a dialogue sequence
To cancel a dialogue sequence and
to deactivate the speech recognition,
press v on the steering wheel.
If you do not say any command for a
certain period of time, or if you say
commands that are not recognised by
the system, a dialogue sequence is
automatically cancelled.
Operation via speech commands
Follow the instructions given by voice output and shown on the display.
