Function requirements for voice control

The unit is switched on. No telephone call is in progress. The parking aid is not active.

Requirements for optimum voice command recognition

›

The voice commands are only then to be spoken when the symbol is displayed in the device screen or in the display of the combined instrument .

›

Speak with a normal tone of voice without intonation and excessive pauses.

›

Avoid bad pronunciation.

›

Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, in order to avoid disturbing environmental influences on the function of the voice commands.

›

DAB station tracking

When a DAB transmitter is a part of several broadcast stations and if the current station group is not available on any other frequency, then when the signal is poor, the same station will be searched in another channel group.

Automatic change from DAB to FM

With bad DAB reception the device tries to find an FM transmitter. The station name is followed by () while the station is being received on the

FM band. The () marker disappears when the relevant DAB station can be received again.

If a DAB station is also not available in the FM band due to poor reception, the device will be switched to mute.

L-band

For the DAB radio reception in different countries, different broadcasting ranges are used. In some countries the DAB radio reception is only possible in the so called L-band.

If no L-band DAB radio reception is possible in the country then we recommend turning off the L-band. The channel scan is therefore faster.
