DISPLAYS AND VOICE CONTROL

* Option/accessory.

144

Remember the following:

•

Speak after the tone with a normal voice
at a normal tempo.

•

Do not speak while the system is replying
(the system cannot understand com-
mands during this time).

•

Avoid background noise in the passenger
compartment by having the doors, win-
dows and sunroof

*

closed.

NOTE

Not all system languages support voice
recognition. The ones that do are high-
lighted with the

symbol in the list of

available system languages. Read more
about where the information can be found
in the section on settings for voice recogni-
tion.

In general, the system works by listening for a
basic command which is followed by more
detailed commands that specify what you
want the system to do.

To change the system audio volume, turn the
rotary volume knob when the voice speaks. It
is possible to use other buttons during voice
control. However, other sounds will be
silenced during dialogue with the system,

which means that it is not possible to execute
any functions linked with audio using the but-
tons.

Cancel voice control

Voice control can be cancelled in different
ways:

•

Tap briefly on

and say "

Cancel

".

•

Give a long press on the steering wheel
button for voice control

until you hear

two beeps. This stops voice recognition
even when the system is speaking.

Voice control is also cancelled if you do not
reply during a dialogue. The system will first
ask for a reply three times and if there is still
no response then voice control will be cancel-
led automatically.

To speed up communication and skip the
prompts from the system, press the steering
wheel button for voice control

. This can-

cels the system voice and you can say the next
command.

Example of voice recognition control

1. Press

.

2. Say "

Call [Forename]

[Surname]

[number category]

", e.g. "

Call Robin

Smith

Mobile

".

> The system dials the selected contact

from the phonebook. If the contact has
several phone numbers (e.g. home,
mobile, work), the right category must
be referred to.

Commands/phrases

The following commands can generally be
used, regardless of the situation:

•

"

Repeat

" - repeats the last voice instruc-

tion in the ongoing dialogue.

•

"

Cancel

" - discontinue the dialogue.

19

•

"

Help

" - starts a help dialogue. The sys-

tem replies with the commands available
in the current situation, a prompt or an
example.

Commands for specific functions such as
phone and radio are described in specific sec-
tions.

19

Note that this only stops the dialogue when the system is not speaking. To do that, give a long press on

until two beep tones are heard.

Digits

The number commands are stated differently
depending on the function to be controlled:

•

Phone numbers and postcodes

must be

spoken individually, number by number,
e.g. "zero, three, one, two, two, four, four,
three" (03122443).

•

House numbers

can be spoken individu-

ally or in groups, e.g. "two, two" or
"twenty-two" (22). For English and Dutch,
several groups can be said in sequence,
e.g. "twenty-two, twenty-two" (22 22).
For English, double or triple can be used,
e.g. "double zero" (00). Numbers can be
given within the range 0-2300.

•

Frequencies

can be spoken as "ninety

eight point eight" (98.8), "a hundred and
four point two" or "hundred four point
two" (104.2).

Speed and repetition mode

It is possible to adjust the speed if the system
is speaking too quickly.

Repetition mode can be enabled so that the
system repeats what you have said.

To change the speed or activate/deactivate
repetition mode:

Adjusting headlamp level

Headlamp levelling

is adjusted using one of

the thumbwheels in the instrument panel.

The load in the car changes the vertical align-
ment of the headlamp beam, which could daz-
zle oncoming motorists. Avoid this by adjust-
ing the headlamp level. Lower the beam if the
car is heavily laden.

1. Keep the engine running or the car's elec-

trical system in ignition position

Active main beam (p. 156)

•

Replacing the main beam lamp (p. 643)

Active main beam

Active main beam is a function which uses a
camera sensor at the top edge of the wind-
screen to detect the headlamp beams from
oncoming traffic or the rear lights of vehicles
in front, and then switches from main beam
to dipped beam.

The symbol

represents active main beam.

The function can start while driving in the dark
when the car's speed is approx. 20 km/h
(approx. 12 mph) or higher. The function can
also take streetlights into account. When the
camera sensor no longer detects any oncom-
ing car or car in front, main beam is switched
on again after about a second.

Activate active main beam

Active main beam is activated and deactivated
by turning the left-hand stalk switch to posi-
tion

. The rotating ring then returns to

position

. When active main beam is

activated, the symbol

illuminates with a

white glow in the driver display. When main
beam is activated, the symbol shines blue.

If active main beam is deactivated while main
beam is on, the lighting is immediately reset to
dipped beam.

Active main beam does not need to be reacti-
vated every time the car is started.

Adaptive functionality

For cars with LED

6

headlamps

*

, active main

beam has adaptive functionality

7

. In this case,

unlike what happens during conventional dim-
ming, the light beam continues to illuminate
with main beam on both sides of oncoming
traffic or vehicles ahead – only the part of the
light beam that points directly to the vehicle is
dimmed.

When dipped beam is activated.

LED (Light Emitting Diode)

Depending on the car's equipment level.

LIGHTING

}}

157

Adaptive functionality: Dipped beam directly towards

oncoming vehicle, but continued main beam on both

sides of the vehicle.

The main beam is partly dimmed, i.e. if the
light beam shines with slightly more than
dipped beam, the symbol

in the driver

display shines blue.

Limitations for active main beam

The camera sensor on which the function is
based has limitations.

If this symbol is shown in the driver
display, together with the message

Active High Beam

Temporarily

unavailable

, then switching

between main and dipped beam must be per-
formed manually. The

symbol extin-

guishes when these message are shown.

The same applies if this symbol is
shown together with the message

Windscreen sensor

Sensor

blocked, see Owner's manual

.

Active main beam may be temporarily unavail-
able e.g. in situations with dense fog or heavy
rain. When active main beam becomes availa-
ble again, or the windscreen sensors are no
longer blocked, the message goes out and the

symbol illuminates.

WARNING

Active main beam is an aid for using the

optimum beam pattern when conditions

are favourable.
The driver always bears responsibility for

manually switching between main and

dipped beam when traffic situations or

weather conditions so require.

LIGHTING

161

Emergency brake lights

Emergency brake lights are activated to alert
vehicles behind about heavy braking.

The function means that the brake light
flashes instead of - as in normal braking -
shining with a constant glow.

The emergency brake lights are activated dur-
ing heavy braking or if the ABS system is acti-
vated at high speeds.

After the driver brakes to a low speed and
then releases the brake, the brake light returns
to normal glow.

The car's hazard warning flashers are acti-
vated at the same time. These flash until the
driver accelerates the car to a higher speed
again or switches off the car's hazard warning
flashers.

Hazard warning flashers

Hazard warning flashers warn other road
users by means of all of the car's direction
indicators being activated simultaneously.
The function can be used to give a warning in
the event of traffic hazards.

Button for hazard warning flashers.

Press the button to activate the hazard warn-
ing flashers.

The hazard warning flashers are automatically
activated when the car brakes so powerfully
that the emergency brake lights are activated
and the speed is low. The hazard warning
flashers start to flash after the emergency
brake lights have stopped flashing and are
then deactivated automatically when the car
drives away again or are deactivated if the but-
ton is depressed.

NOTE

Regulations for the use of hazard warning
flashers may vary between countries.
