10Frequently asked
questions
The following information groups together the answers to the most frequently asked questions
concerning the system.
Radio
The reception quality of the tuned radio
station gradually deteriorates or the station
presets are not working (no sound, 87.5 MHz
is displayed, etc.).
The vehicle is too far from the selected station’s
transmitter, or no transmitter is present in the
geographical area.
►

Activate the "RDS" function in the upper bar
to enable the system to check whether there is
a more powerful transmitter in the geographical
area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels,
basement car parks, etc.) is blocking reception,
including in RDS mode.
This is a perfectly normal phenomenon, and is
not indicative of an audio system malfunction.
The aerial is missing or has been damaged
(for example while entering a car wash or
underground car park).
►


Have the aerial checked by a dealer
.
I cannot find some radio stations in the list of
received stations.
The name of the radio station changes.
The station is no longer received or its name has
changed in the list. ►

Press the round arrow on the "List" tab on the

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
not available.
Information - Using the
system
When voice commands are activated, by
briefly pressing the button, help is
displayed on the touch screen, offering various
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
