84Control systemsCOMAND operating safetyWarning! GAny alteration of electronic components or software can cause malfunctions.Radio, satellite radio* (USA only), amplifier, CD/DVD changer, navigation module, tele-phone and Voice Control Systems* are in-terconnected. Therefore, if one of the components is not operational, or has not been removed/ replaced properly, the func-tion of other components could be impaired.Such conditions might seriously impair the operating safety of your vehicle.We recommend to have any service work on electronic components carried out by an au-thorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Warning! GIn order to avoid distraction which could lead to an accident, the driver should enter system settings while the vehicle is at a standstill, and operate the system only when permitted by road, weather and traffic conditions.Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph (approximately 50 km/ h), your car covers a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) ev-ery second.COMAND supplies you with information to help you select your route more easily and guide you conveniently and safely to your destination. For safety reasons, we encour-age the driver to stop the vehicle in a safe place before answering or placing a call, or consulting the COMAND screen to read nav-igational maps, instructions, or downloaded information.Warning! GWhile 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’s per-sonal responsibility. DVD maps do not cover all areas nor all routes within an area.

Music on CDs or audio DVDs with high-resolution surround formats such as MLP, DTS or Dolby Digital is played back optimally. For an ideal sound experience on all seats, LOGIC7® distributes 5.1 surround information via the 13-channel system architecture. The re-sult is a sound as intended by the sound engi-neers during the original recording.harman/kardon LOGIC7® converts all two-chan-nel stereo sound material into multi-channel sur-round sound. With the help of LOGIC7®, surround information stored during the original recording are read out and distributed through the 13 channels. No effects are created during this process; only that which was already there becomes audible.In addition, harman/kardon LOGIC7® moves the perceived sound source away from the individual loudspeakers, thus generating a natural 360° sound experience for every passenger.

For example, if the first session type is ac-cording to the audio CD standard and the second session type is according to the data CD standard containing MP3 tracks, COMAND will treat the CD as a conven-tional audio CD. This means that it is only possible to access the audio CD tracks. Access to the MP3 tracks is not possible. Similarly, if the first session type is accord-ing to the data CD standard containing MP3 tracks and the second session type is according to the audio CD standard, COMAND will treat the CD as a data CD. Warning! GCOMAND is classified as a Class 1 laser product. You must not open the casing. There is a risk of exposure to invisible laser radiation if you open the casing, or if the casing is faulty or damaged.COMAND does not contain any parts that you are able to maintain yourself. For safety reasons, all maintenance work must be car-ried out by qualified technicians.Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph (approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is covering a distance of 44 feet (approximate-ly 14 m) every second.Warning! GOnly carry out the following when the vehi-cle is stationary:앫Inserting a disc앫Ejecting a discThere is a risk of accident by being distract-ed from road and traffic conditions if you load a CD/DVD while the vehicle is in mo-tion.
113Control systemsCOMAND audio CD/audio DVD/MP3This means that it is only possible to ac-cess the MP3 tracks. Access to the audio CD tracks is not possible.File structure on a discWhen you create an MP3 disc, the MP3 tracks can be organized in folders. A folder can also contain other folders. A disc can contain a maximum of 255 folders. Each folder can contain a maximum of 255 tracks and 255 folders. A disc can contain a maximum of 4000 tracks. Usual-ly this number will not be reached because each minute of an MP3 track requires ap-proximately 1 MB of storage space.Track and folder namesWhen you create an MP3 disc, you can as-sign names to the MP3 tracks and folders. COMAND uses these names for the corre-sponding display in MP3 mode. Empty fold-ers or folders which contain data other than MP3 tracks are not displayed by COMAND.If MP3 files are saved in the root directory itself (uppermost directory on storage me-dium), the root directory will also be treat-ed as a folder. COMAND will then show the name of the root directory as the folder name. You must observe the following when as-signing track names:앫Track names must have at least one character.앫Track names must have the extension “mp3”.앫There must be a period between the track name and the extension.Example of a correct track name: Track1.mp3COMAND is unable to recognize an MP3 track if:앫there is no period between the track ti-tle and the extension앫there is no extensionPermissible MP3 formatsCOMAND supports the MPEG1 Audio Lay-er 3 format.Permissible bit and sampling rates앫Fixed and variable bit rates up to 320 kbit/s앫Sampling rates of 24 kHz – 48 kHzNotes on copyrightThe music tracks that you create for MP3 mode and can play back in MP3 mode are generally subject to copyright protection in accordance with the applicable interna-tional and national regulations.iCOMAND does not support ID3 tags.iThis format is generally known as “MP3”.iOnly use MP3 tracks with a bit rate of at least 128 kbit/s and a sampling rate of at least 44.1 kHz. Smaller rates can cause a noticeable deterioration in sound quality. This is especially the case if you have activated a surround sound function.
114Control systemsCOMAND audio CD/audio DVD/MP3In many countries, reproductions are not permitted without the prior consent of the copyright holder, not even for private use.Make sure that you know the applicable copyright regulations and that you comply with these.If you own these rights yourself, e.g. for your own compositions and recordings, or the copyright holder has granted you per-mission, these restrictions do not apply.Notes about audio DVD operationCOMAND can playback commercially available, prerecorded audio DVDs that bear the following label. You will usually find the label on the DVD booklet, the inlay, or the DVD itself.Data on audio DVDs are stored either in uncompressed format or in lossless com-pressed format. The sound quality on au-dio DVDs is therefore better than on recordable DVDs that contain MP3 data because the MP3 format uses a lossy type of compression.You cannot delete data from or record additional data to commercially available, prerecorded audio DVDs.Please note the following information about CDs/DVDs and pay special atten-tion to the notes on copied and/or self-written CDs/DVDs.Notes about CDs/DVDsiAudio DVDs differ from recordable DVD-R and DVD-RW discs.iAudio CDs with copy protection are not compatible with the CD audio standard and therefore may not be able to be played by COMAND.There may be playback problems when playing copied discs.There is a large variety of discs, disc-writing soft-ware and writers available. This variety means that there is no guarantee that the system will be able to play discs that you have written/copied yourself.There may be playback problems if you use CD-R or CD-RW type discs you have copied yourself with a storage capacity of more than 700 MB. These CDs are not compatible with currently ap-plicable standards.
115Control systemsCOMAND audio CD/audio DVD/MP3Notes about handling CDs/DVDs 앫Only hold discs by the edge.앫Handle discs carefully to prevent play-back problems.앫Avoid getting scratches, fingerprints and dust on discs.앫Clean discs from time to time with a commercially-available cleaning cloth. Do not wipe them with a circular mo-tion, but only in straight lines from the center outwards.앫Only use a pen designed for such a pur-pose to label discs.앫Place discs back in their boxes after use.앫Protect discs from heat and direct sun-light.Inserting CDs and DVDs !Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs. These could peel away and damage COMAND.COMAND is designed to hold discs which com-ply with the IEC 60908 standard. You can there-fore only use discs with a maximum thickness of 1.3 mm.If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that contain data on both sides (DVD on one side and audio data on the other), they cannot be ejected and can damage COMAND.Do not use discs with an 8-cm diameter, even if they have an adapter.Only use round discs with a 12-cm diameter.Warning! GOnly insert a CD or DVD when the vehicle is stationary. There is a risk of accident by be-ing distracted from road and traffic condi-tions if you load a CD/DVD while the vehicle is in motion.Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph (approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is covering a distance of 44 feet (approximate-ly 14 m) every second.iIf the CD/DVD has a printed side, this must face upwards when the CD/DVD is inserted.

Exceptions to this are clearly stat-ed.Unless otherwise indicated, the descrip-tions and illustrations in this section refer to COMAND and the telephone keypad.Operation using the mobile phone and Bluetooth® headset is described in the re-spective separate Operating Instructions.Caller IDCOMAND can display the telephone num-ber and the name of the caller, e.g. for an incoming call and also in other menus or displays.For the telephone number to be displayed, the caller must transmit their telephone number.This is also the case for name displays. For this, the telephone number and the name of the caller must also be saved in the mo-bile phone book.iThe components and operating principles of COMAND can be found on (컄page 85) and (컄page 94).iVarious mobile phone cradles can be in-stalled in the front center armrest, see separate installation instructions for the mobile phone cradle. These mobile phone cradles can be ob-tained from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Cen-ter. For more information about telephone (컄page 507). iIn order for the functions described in this section to work correctly, the Bluetooth® head-set must be linked to COMAND (컄page 241). Please make sure any Bluetooth® headset linked with the mobile phone is switched off or that the headset is linked with COMAND before you in-sert the mobile phone in the cradle (컄page 507) and use the telephone functions with COMAND.
134Control systemsCOMAND telephone*Functional restrictionsYou will not be able to use the telephone, or you may have to wait a while, in the fol-lowing situations:앫If the telephone has not yet logged into the network. The telephone automatically tries to log into a network.

Depend-ing on your phone brand and model, the number of in-vehicle or on-display COMAND telephone features supported via Bluetooth® communication, and thus available for your use, may vary.The descriptions and illustrations in this section are based on the use of fully com-patible Mercedes-Benz approved mobile phones and cradles that do not utilize Blue-tooth® technology to communicate with each other. If your vehicle is equipped with integrated Bluetooth® functionality than a Bluetooth® capable mobile phone, head-set, Laptop, PDA, etc. is required to utilize those features.For additional information about Mercedes-Benz approved Bluetooth® mo-bile phones and related accessories please contact the Mercedes-Benz Customer As-sistance Center at 1-800-FOR-MERCedes or your nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

159Control systemsCOMAND navigation왔COMAND navigationSafety precautionsWarning! GFor safety reasons, only enter a destination when the vehicle is stationary. When the ve-hicle is in motion, a passenger should enter the destination. Study manual and select route before driving.Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph (approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is covering a distance of 44 feet (approximate-ly 14 m) every second.COMAND calculates the route to the desti-nation without taking account of the follow-ing, for example:앫Traffic lights앫Stop and right-of-way signs앫Parking or stopping prohibited areas앫Lane merging앫Other road and traffic rules and regula-tions앫Narrow bridgesCOMAND may give incorrect navigation commands if the data in the digital map does not correspond with the actual road/traffic situation. DVD maps do not cover all areas nor all routes within an area. For example, if the traffic routing has been changed or the direction of a one-way road has been reversed.For this reason, you must always observe applicable road and traffic rules and regula-tions during your journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations always have priority over the navigation commands generated by the system.Warning! GNavigation 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.
160Control systemsCOMAND navigation (introduction)COMAND navigation (introduc-tion)Map softwareThe digital maps generated by the map software become outdated in the same way as conventional road maps. Optimum route guidance can only be provided by the navigation system in conjunction with the most up-to-date map software.Information about new map software ver-sions can be obtained from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.Updating the map softwareYou can update the map software yourself using a DVD.Notes about handling DVDs앫Only hold discs by the edge.앫Handle discs carefully to prevent read problems.앫Avoid getting scratches, fingerprints and dust on discs.앫Use a commercially-available cleaning cloth to clean discs. Do not wipe them with a circular motion, but only in straight lines from the center out-wards.앫Place discs back in their boxes after use.앫Protect discs from heat and direct sun-light.Updating processThe updating process has the following phases:앫Loading a DVD into the DVD changer (컄page 161)앫Updating process (컄page 161)iThe updating process can take between 10 and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the map software. If the radio was switched on be-fore you started the updating process, you can still adjust the volume. You can also use COMAND to operate the automatic air condition-ing and to cancel the process. Other functions are not operational.If possible, carry out the update when the vehicle is stationary. iIf you carry out the update with the engine switched off and the vehicle battery has insuffi-cient power, COMAND may automatically switch off during the process in order to protect the bat-tery. If this occurs, restart the update with the engine running period. Similarly, if the SmartKey position is unintentionally switched to 0, restart the update.Warning! GNever leave the engine running in an en-closed space. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide. Inhaling exhaust gases constitutes a health hazard and could lead to loss of consciousness or even death.

164Control systemsCOMAND navigation (introduction)General notesOperational readiness of the navigation system following a system software update by an authorized Mercedes-Benz CenterAfter a system software update by an au-thorized Mercedes-Benz Center, the in-stalled map software may no longer be compatible. If this is the case, the naviga-tion system will not be operational.You will know if this is the case, when the following message will appear when you switch to navigation mode: “The system software has been updated. The map soft-ware must be updated now. Please insert the DVD with the map software.”왘Updating map software: Proceed as described in the “Updating the map software” section (컄page 160). Use map software which is compatible with the system software.Initial use or use following a system software updateIn both these cases, the navigation system must determine the position of the vehicle. You may have to drive for a while before precise route guidance is possible.GPS receptionCorrect functioning of the navigation sys-tem depends on GPS reception, among other things. In certain situations, GPS re-ception may be impaired, there may be in-terference or there may be no reception at all, e.g. in tunnels, in multistory parking ga-rage or due to snow on the GPS antenna. If there is snow on the GPS antenna, you should remove it. The GPS antenna is at the back of the vehicle roof.The roof cargo container* may also impair mobile phone reception and GPS cover-age. Route guidance after vehicle transpor-tationCOMAND has to redetermine the position of the vehicle if the vehicle has been trans-ported (e.g. by ferry, by train or after tow-ing).Positioning takes place automatically even when COMAND is switched off. The dura-tion varies from one case to another.Route guidance may be restricted as fol-lows during vehicle positioning:앫Navigation announcements, route guidance displays and displayed street names are not consistent with the ac-tual location of the vehicle.앫COMAND does not generate navigation announcements.iPlease note that the update must be allowed to run to the end in this case. If you interrupt it, the navigation system will continue to be non-op-erational.
165Control systemsCOMAND navigation (introduction)앫Instead of the route guidance displays, you see the “Off Road” display and a di-rection arrow. The direction arrow shows the compass heading to the des-tination.When positioning is complete, route guid-ance is once again possible using naviga-tion announcements and route guidance displays.Interrupting the journey during route guidanceThe following applies if you interrupt the journey during route guidance and contin-ue the journey later:앫COMAND resumes route guidance au-tomatically if you continue the journey within 2 hours.앫Route guidance is canceled if you con-tinue the journey after more than 2 hours. It will be necessary to resume the canceled route guidance manually (컄page 216).Hard disk errorsCOMAND has an integrated hard disk on which the map software is saved.If an area of the hard disk has an error, COMAND can no longer access the map data in this area, for example, when calcu-lating a route.The message “Navigation Unavailable. Please refer to the operating instructions.” appears.왘Deleting message: Switch COMAND off and back on.Units of measurementThe units of measurement in navigation mode are identical to those set in the in-strument cluster.Input restrictionsThe input restrictions are imposed starting at a particular vehicle speed. The restric-tions are canceled as soon as the speed drops below a certain value.When the restriction is active, certain oper-ations or entries are not possible.You will notice this by the fact that some menu items cannot be selected or certain operations will not be possible.iThe journey is interrupted if you park the ve-hicle and switch off COMAND.The journey is continued when you switch COMAND back on and start driving on.iIf you switch the navigation system off/on, it will be operational again until it has to access the faulty area of the hard disk again. The mes-sage will then appear again. Consult an autho-rized Mercedes-Benz Center.

GCOMAND calculates the route to the desti-nation without taking account of the follow-ing, for example:앫Traffic lights앫Stop and right-of-way signs앫Parking or stopping prohibited areas앫Lane merges앫Other road and traffic rules and regula-tions앫Narrow bridgesCOMAND may give incorrect navigation commands if the data in the digital map does not correspond with the actual road/traffic situation. For example, if the traffic routing has been changed or the di-rection of a one-way road has been re-versed.For this reason, you must always observe applicable road and traffic rules and regula-tions during your journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations always have priority over the navigation commands generated by the system.iThe route guidance displays can only be seen if the display is switched to navigation mode.
209Control systemsCOMAND navigation system (route guidance)Roads that have time restrictions (e.g. closed on Sundays and public holidays) are not considered for route guidance, if the digital map contains the relevant informa-tion. Examples of displays and announce-ments for a driving maneuverDriving maneuvers have three phases:앫Preparation phase앫Announcement phase앫Maneuver phasePreparation phaseCOMAND prepares you for the upcoming driving maneuver.

For certain POIs (airports or highway junctions), you will hear the announcement “You have reached the destination area”. In addition, you will see a corresponding display and route guidance is automatically ended.1Destination on the map2Destination flagPartially digitized areas If the destination is within a partially digitized areaCOMAND guides you through fully digitized areas for as long as possible. Route guid-ance is conducted in the usual manner, i.e. with navigation announcements and route guidance displays. Before the vehicle reaches a partially digi-tized area, COMAND notifies you of this with the following announcements:앫“Be prepared to enter an area where turn by turn guidance cannot be provid-ed.”앫“In 700 feet you will enter an area where turn by turn guidance cannot be provided.”앫“You are about to enter an area where turn by turn guidance cannot be provid-ed.”iThe digital map may contain areas that are only partially digitized although they are within a digitized region.Warning! GDue to incomplete digitization, the route shown on the map may differ from the actual road/traffic situation.If you follow the route shown on the map, for example, it is possible that you could drive the wrong way down a one-way street or that a street cannot be driven on.When using route guidance in a partially dig-itized area, you must therefore be sure to observe all relevant traffic regulations and the course of the road.All relevant traffic regulations and the course of the road always take priority over the route shown on the map.iThe indicated distance can be seen here by way of example. In reality, it may be different.
212Control systemsCOMAND navigation system (route guidance)Route guidance within a partially digi-tized areaIf you start route guidance in this type of area, you will hear the following announce-ment: “You are currently in an area where turn by turn guidance cannot be provided.”Route guidance is provided by means of a direction arrow showing the compass heading to the destination. COMAND will not generate automatic navigation an-nouncements.If you try to call up an announcement man-ually, (컄page 214) you will hear the an-nouncement “You are currently in an area where turn by turn guidance cannot be pro-vided.”.During route guidance, the display is divid-ed. On the right-hand side you will see the direction arrow showing the compass heading to the destination.On the left-hand side of the display you will see the map with the suggested route. The suggested route is highlighted blue. How-ever, it may not be possible to follow the suggested route because, for example, the road is closed or not open for car traffic.If, during route guidance, COMAND leads you back into a fully digitalized area, route guidance will simply continue in the usual manner.Off-road and off-mapRoute guidance to an off-road destinationCOMAND can guide you to destinations within the area covered by the digital map, even if a destination is not located at a road known to the system.iWhen you call up the route info to this type of destination, (컄page 217) the following data shown there may differ from the actual situation:앫Distance to the destination앫Estimated driving time to the destination앫Estimated arrival time Warning! GThe COMAND navigation system may direct you to off-road routes that your vehicle may not be capable of traversing through without damaging your tires, wheels or vehicle. It is the driver’s sole responsibility to determine the suitability of the route. Off-road routes may be of varying conditions and their ap-propriateness for use may be affected by various factors such as time of day, time of year and immediate weather conditions that cannot be judged or taken into consider-ation by the COMAND system.
213Control systemsCOMAND navigation system (route guidance)These destinations are shown as off-road destinations, which you can enter using the map, for example.In these cases, COMAND guides you for as long as possible with navigation announce-ments and displays on roads known to the system.Shortly before you reach the last known the point to leave the digitized road net-work, you will hear the announcement “The destination is nearby. Follow the arrow on the display”.You will then see an arrow that indicates the direction to the off-road destination. When the off-road destination is close to the road, “Area of dest. reached” appears in addition below the arrow.The section of the route from the last known point on the map to the off-road destination is indicated with a dashed line after a certain length. It simply shows the direction to the off-road destination with-out taking account of any type of obstacles in the way.1Current vehicle position; the triangle in-dicates the vehicle’s direction of travel2Off-road section of the route3Off-road destination4Direction arrow, shows compass head-ing to destinationOn the off-road section of the route, direc-tion arrows showing the compass heading to the destination guide you.

The direction arrow shows the compass heading to the actual destina-tion.The route is highlighted blue from the near-est road known to the system. As soon as the vehicle is back on a road known to the system, route guidance con-tinues in the usual way.Route guidance from an off-map location to a destinationIf the vehicle position is outside the area covered by the digital map, then the vehi-cle is in an off-map location.COMAND is also able to guide you to a des-tination from such a location.
214Control systemsAt the start of the route guidance, you will see the “Off Map” message and a direction arrow. The direction arrow shows the compass heading to the actual destination.The route is highlighted blue from the near-est road known to the system. As soon as the vehicle is back on a road known to the system, route guidance con-tinues in the usual way.Off-road during route guidanceThe road layout may differ from the data on the digital map, due to road construction measures, for example.In such cases, the system cannot allocate the vehicle’s position to the digital map and the vehicle is therefore in an off-road position.The “Off Road” message and an arrow showing the compass heading to the desti-nation appear on the display.As soon as the system can allocate the ve-hicle position’s to the map again, route guidance continues in the usual way.Navigation announcementsRoute guidance is already active.왘Calling up a current announcement: Select “Navi”  6.or왘Press P favorite button if the button has been programmed with this func-tion (컄page 240).왘Canceling navigation message: Briefly press F shortcut button dur-ing an announcement. 왘Switching off navigation messages: Press and hold F during an an-nouncement until the announcement is switched off.You will see the message “The driving instructions have been muted.” for a short while.Warning!

286Control systemsVoice Control*Voice Control*Operating safetyWarning! GPlease 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.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.Warning! GNavigation 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! GPlease 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.
287Control systemsVoice Control* introductionVoice Control* introductionThe Voice Control System gives you the ca-pability to control the following systems on your vehicle using spoken commands:앫Telephone* (컄page 291)앫Navigation (컄page 298)앫Address book (컄page 308)앫Audio (컄page 312) (AM/FM radio, CD/DVD changer, MP3 player)You control these systems using spoken commands. Moreover, controls such as the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel (컄page 289) 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 (컄page 333).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”.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.

If the interfer-ence continues, the dialog is stopped.Both voice entries differ. 왘Pronounce the voice entries both times in the same manner.
332Control systemsProblem Possible cause/consequence Suggested solutionVoice Control System does not recognize commands.You have not operated the system from the driver’s seat.왘Operate the Voice Control System only by the driver as the microphone is geared to the driver side.You have spoken unclearly, too loudly or too quietly.왘Speak the commands in a continuous manner using a normal tone.A blower is set to the highest setting, vents are pointed at microphones or wind noise is being created through open windows.왘Avoid loud disturbances.Voice Control System does not recognize a address book entry.The voice entries in the address book sound too similar.왘When you create your address book en-tries, select names with the greatest possible acoustic differences: If for ex-ample you have the names Smith and Schmidt, choose for example “Smith work” or “Schmidt John”.왘Speak the command “List phone book”.The system reads out the address book entry by entry.왘Press ! when the desired entry is being read out.The entry is selected and the corre-sponding number is dialed (컄page 297).
333Control systemsVoice Control* individualizationThe individualization is used to adapt the Voice Control System to your own voice and to therefore improve speech recogni-tion. This does not affect the speech rec-ognition of other users.Individualization consists of two stages:앫Digits앫CommandsYou can activate individualization in the COMAND system settings (컄page 239). A dialog and screen displays will guide you through the individualization process.The system can be reset to the factory set-tings at any time.iThe individualization can only be performed when the vehicle is stationary.If you drive off, the individualization will be can-celed.After starting the session, the system will guide you through the individualization by means of acoustic instructions.iYou may wish to complete only a portion of the individualization process.Completing the digits portion alone may result in an improved recognition rate.Individualization can be exited at any time. The data trained, however, will only be retained if a given individualization portion is completed and the data is stored when prompted to do so by the system.
