Warning!

The following automatic climate control functions can be operated via COMAND:

Warning!

When operating the automatic climate con- trol, the air that enters the passenger com- partment through the air vents can be very hot or very cold (depending on the set tem- perature). This may cause burns or frostbite to unprotected skin in the immediate area of the air vents.

Always keep sufficient distance between un- protected parts of the body and the air vents. If necessary, use the air distribution adjustment (컄 page 246) to direct the air to air vents in the vehicle interior that are not in the immediate area of unprotected skin.

Follow the recommended settings for heat- ing and cooling given on the following pages and pages in the “Controls in detail” part (컄 page 453) Otherwise the windows could fog up, impairing visibility and endangering you and others.

You can operate the automatic climate control via COMAND or via the buttons on the automatic climate control panel (컄 page 453). Some of the special climate control func- tions can only be set via COMAND.

Warning!

Warning!

Never operate radio transmitters equipped with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e. with- out being connected to an external antenna) from inside the vehicle while the engine is running. Doing so could lead to a malfunc- tion of the vehicle’s electronic system, pos- sibly resulting in an accident and/or personal injury.

Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from using a cellular telephone while driving. Whether or not prohibited by law, for safety reasons, the driver should not use the cellu- lar telephone while the vehicle is in motion. Stop the vehicle in a safe location before placing or answering a call.

If you nonetheless choose to use the mobile phone while driving, please use the hands- free feature and be sure to pay attention to the traffic situation at all times. Use the mo- bile phone only when road, weather and traf- fic conditions permit.

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’s 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.

왔 Voice Control Operating safety

Warning!

Please devote your attention first and fore- most to the traffic situation you are in. While the system permits hands-free phone oper- ation, attention to traffic may be diverted not only by physical operation of a phone, but also by the distraction of a phone con- versation while driving. As such, for safety reasons, we encourage the driver to stop the vehicle in a safe place before answering or placing a phone call.

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.

Control systems Voice Control

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.

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 introduction

The Voice Control System gives you the ca- pability to control the following systems on your vehicle using spoken commands: 앫 Telephone* (컄 page 278) 앫 Navigation (컄 page 285) 앫 Address book (컄 page 295) 앫 Audio (컄 page 299) (AM/FM radio,

CD/DVD changer, MP3 player)

The commands and digit sequences can be spoken without pausing between the indi- vidual words. If an unavailable or incorrect command is used, the Voice Control Sys- tem will prompt you for a new command by asking “Please repeat” or “Please repeat your entry”. In order to provide for a safe and comfort- able dialog, the Voice Control System ac- knowledges important commands.

You control these systems using spoken commands. Moreover, controls such as the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel (컄 page 276) allow you to keep your hands on the steering wheel. The command vocabulary consists of approximately 300 ready to use phrases. The Voice Control System recognizes com- mands and number sequences, irrespec- tive of the speaker. To optimize speech recognition for your voice follow the indi- vidualization process (컄 page 320). You can use the Voice Control System to call up all of COMAND’s main menu items, with the exception of the main menus for “Vehicle” and “Navi”.

Active System

Control systems Voice Control introduction

The active system is the system currently shown in the COMAND display. If, for example, you listen to the radio while the telephone system is active on the COMAND display, you have to switch to the radio using the command “Radio” be- fore you can operate the radio.

You may not need to spell the entire name (street, intersection, city or point of inter- est) especially if the name is lengthy. Spell- ing the first three to five characters of the name should be sufficient for the system to recognize the name provided it is avail- able on the navigation DVD. The selection appearing on the COMAND display is sorted based on your recognized voice input and a matching algorithm. You can use the commands “Next page” or “Previous page” to scroll up or down in the list. Use the command “Correction” to start over by again spelling the name. Speak each character as clearly as you can, especially when they sound very simi- lar (d or e).

The Voice Control System commands can be categorized as: 앫 General Commands

These are commands always available to you as soon as the Voice Control System is activated (for example “Help” commands).

앫 Local Commands

These are commands specific to the currently active system shown in the COMAND display (for example com- mands to control the CD changer).

Telephone operation

Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from using a cellular telephone while driving. Whether or not prohibited by law, for safety reasons, the driver should not use the cellu- lar telephone while the vehicle is in motion. Stop the vehicle in a safe location before placing or answering a call.

If you nonetheless choose to use the mobile phone while driving, please use the hands- free feature and be sure to pay attention to the traffic situation at all times. Use the mo- bile phone only when road, weather and traf- fic conditions permit. Otherwise, you may not be able to observe traffic conditions and could endanger yourself and others.

Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph (approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is covering a distance of 44 feet (approxima- tely 14 m) every second.

Never operate radio transmitters equipped with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e. with- out being connected to an external antenna) from inside the vehicle while the engine is running. Doing so could lead to a malfunc- tion of the vehicle’s electronic system, pos- sibly resulting in an accident and/or personal injury.
