왔 Voice Control navigation Important notes

Warning!

For safety reasons, you should only select a destination when the vehicle is stationary. While the navigation system provides direc- tional assistance, the driver must remain fo- cused on safe driving behavior, especially attention to traffic and street signs, and should utilize the system’s audio cues while driving.

The navigation system does not supply any information on stop signs, yield signs, traffic regulations or traffic safety rules. Their ob- servance always remains in the driver’ per- sonal responsibility. DVD maps do not cover all areas nor all routes within an area.

Traffic regulations always have priority over any route recommendations given.

Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph (approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately 13.5 m) every second.

During route guidance, you will not receive information on: 앫 traffic lights 앫 stop and yield signs 앫 parking or stopping zones 앫 one-way streets 앫 narrow bridges, or 앫 other traffic regulation data. You should therefore always strictly observe traffic regulations while driving. Drive care- fully and always obey traffic laws and road signs, even if they contradict navigation sys- tem instructions.

Warning!

Please do not use the Voice Control System in an emergency, as the tone of your voice may change in a stressful situation. This could cause a delay in completing your phone call in a timely manner. This could distract you in an emergency situation and cause you to be involved in an accident.

Control systems Voice Control navigation

Warning!

Navigation announcements are intended to direct you while driving without diverting your attention from the road and driving.

Please always use this feature instead of consulting the map display for directions. Consulting the symbols or map display for directions may cause you to divert your at- tention from driving and increase your risk of an accident.

ters at a time.

앫 Speak each individual letter clearly.

Control systems Voice Control troubleshooting

What to do if ...

Problem Voice Control System does not recognize a station list entry.

Possible cause/consequence The voice entries for the station names sound too similar.

Should interference occur during the pro- cess of storing a name, the Voice Control System prompts you to repeat your voice entry a third and fourth time. If the interfer- ence continues, the dialog is stopped.

Both voice entries differ.

348

Suggested solution 왘 When you create your address book en-

tries, select names with the greatest possible acoustic differences.

왘 Speak the command “List station list”. The system reads out the station list en- try by entry.
