Steering wheel-mounted 
controls 
Voice commands:
Voice commands can be issued from any 
screen page after a short press on the "Voice 
commands" button located on the steering 
wheel or at the end of the lighting control stalk 
(depending on equipment), as long as there is no 
telephone call in progress.
To ensure that voice commands are  always recognised by the system, please 
follow these recommendations: 
–
 
use natural language in a normal tone 
without breaking up words or raising your 
voice.
–
 
always wait for the "beep" (audible signal) 
before speaking.
–
 
for best results, closing the windows and 
sunroof is recommended, to avoid extraneous 
interference (depending on version).
–
 
before issuing a voice command, ask any 
other passengers to refrain from speaking.
First steps
Example of a "voice command" for 
navigation:
"Navigate to address 11 regent street, 
London"
Example of a "voice command" for the radio and 
media:
"Play artist Madonna"
Example of a "voice command" for the 
telephone:
"Call David Miller"
The voice commands, with a choice of 17  languages (Arabic, Brazilian, Czech, 
Danish, Dutch, English, Farsi, French, 
German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, 
Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, 
Turkish), are made using the language 
previously chosen and set in the system.
For some voice commands, there are 
alternative synonyms.
Example: Guide to / Navigate to / Go to / ...
The voice commands in Arabic for: "Navigate 
to address" and "Display POI in the city", are

menus and enabling voice-based interaction with 
the system.
 
 
A number of commands are available when a 
menu is selected.
 
 
Press the Push To Talk button and tell me 
what you'd like after the tone. Remember 
you can interrupt me at any time by pressing this 
button. If you press it again while I'm waiting for 
you to speak, it'll end the conversation. If you 
need to start over, say "cancel". If you want to 
undo something, say "undo". And to get 
information and tips at any time, just say "help". 
If you ask to me do something and there's some 
information missing that I need, I'll give you 
some examples or take you through it step by

The system does not suggest a detour 
around an incident on the route.
The route settings do not take account of 
TMC 
messages.
►
 
Configure the "T
 raffic info" function in the 
route settings list (None, Manual or Automatic).
I am receiving a "Danger zone" alert which is 
not on my route.
As well as providing guided navigation, the 
system announces all "Danger areas" positioned 
in a cone located in front of the vehicle. It may 
provide an alert for "Danger areas" located on 
nearby or parallel roads.
►
 
Zoom the map to show the exact location 
of the "Danger area". 
You can select "On the 
route" to stop receiving warnings or decrease the 
warning duration.
Certain traffic jams along the route are not 
indicated in real time.
On starting, a few minutes may elapse before 
the system begins to receive traffic information.

W
 ait until traffic information is being received 
correctly (traffic information icons shown on the 
map).
In certain countries, only major routes 
(motorways, etc.) are listed for the traffic 
information.
This is perfectly normal. The system is 
dependent on the traffic information available.
The altitude is not displayed. On starting, GPS initialisation may take up to 
3 minutes to receive more than 4 satellites 
correctly.
►
 
W
 ait until the system has started up 
completely so that there is GPS coverage by at 
least 4
  satellites.
Depending on the geographical environment 
(tunnel, etc.) or the weather, the conditions of 
reception of the GPS signal may vary.
This behaviour is normal. The system is 
dependent on the GPS signal reception 
conditions.
My navigation is no longer connected.
During start-up and in certain geographical 
areas, the connection may be unavailable.
►
 
Check that the online services are activated 
(settings, contract).
Radio
The reception quality of the radio station 
being listened to gradually deteriorates or 
the station presets are not working (e.g.
  no 
sound, "87.5" MHz is displayed).
The vehicle is too far from the selected station’s 
transmitter, or no transmitter is present in the 
geographical area.
►
 
Activate the "RDS" function by means of the 
short-cut menu to enable the system to check 
whether there is a more powerful transmitter in 
the geographical area.
The aerial is missing or damaged (e.g.
  when 
going through a car wash or in an underground 
car park). ►
 
Have the aerial checked by a dealer
 .
The surrounding area (e.g.   hill, building, tunnel, 
underground car park, etc.) is blocking reception, 
including in RDS tracking mode.
This is a perfectly normal phenomenon, and is 
not indicative of an audio system malfunction.
I cannot find some radio stations in the list of 
stations received.
The name of the radio station changes.
The station is no longer received or its name has 
changed in the list.
Some radio stations send other information 
in place of their name (the title of the song for
