Digital audio broadcastingDigital audio broadcasting (DAB) isan innovative and universalbroadcast system.

General information■ DAB stations are indicated by the

programme name instead of thebroadcasting frequency.

■ With DAB, several radioprogrammes (services) can bebroadcasted on a single frequency(ensemble).

■ Besides high-quality digital audioservices, DAB is also able totransmit programme-associateddata and a multitude of other dataservices including travel and trafficinformation.

■ As long as a given DAB receivercan pick up the signal sent out by abroadcasting station (even if thesignal is very weak), soundreproduction is ensured.

■ There is no fading (weakening ofthe sound) that is typical of AM orFM reception. The DAB signal isreproduced at a constant volume.

■ Interference caused by stationsthat are on nearby frequencies (aphenomenon that is typical of AMand FM reception) does not occurwith DAB.If the DAB signal is too weak to bepicked up by the receiver, thesystem switches over to the sameprogramme on another DAB or FMstation.

■ If the DAB signal is reflected bynatural obstacles or buildings, thereception quality of DAB isimproved, whereas AM or FMreception is considerably impairedin such cases.

■ When DAB reception is enabled,the FM tuner of the Infotainmentsystem remains active in the

General informationThe navigation application will reliablyguide you to your destination withoutthe need to read maps.The current traffic situation is takeninto account in the route calculation.For this reason, the Infotainmentsystem receives trafficannouncements in the currentreception area via RDS-TMC.The navigation application cannot,however, take into account trafficincidents, traffic regulations changedat short notice and hazards orproblems that arise suddenly (e.g.road works).

Caution

The usage of the navigationsystem does not release the driverfrom the responsibility for acorrect, vigilant attitude in roadtraffic. The relevant trafficregulations must always be

followed. If a navigation instructioncontradicts traffic regulations, thetraffic regulations always apply.

Functioning of the navigationapplicationThe position and movement of thevehicle are detected by the navigationapplication using sensors. Thetravelled distance is determined bythe vehicle's speedometer signal andturning movements on bends by agyro sensor. The position isdetermined by the GPS satellites(Global Positioning System).By comparing the sensor signals withthe digital maps, it is possible todetermine the position with anaccuracy of approx. 10 metres.The system will also work with poorGPS reception, however, theaccuracy of the determination of theposition will be reduced.After the entry of the destinationaddress or point of interest (nearestpetrol station, hotel, etc.) the route iscalculated from the current location tothe destination selected.

54 Speech recognition

Speech recognition

General information ..................... 54Usage .......................................... 55

General informationThe speech recognition of theInfotainment system enables you tooperate various functions of theInfotainment system via voice input. Itrecognises commands and numericsequences independently of therelevant speaker. The commandsand numeric sequences can bespoken without a pause between theindividual words.In the event of incorrect operation orcommands, the speech recognitiongives visual and/or acoustic feedbackand requests you to re-enter thedesired command. Apart from this,the speech recognitionacknowledges important commandsand will enquire if necessary.In general, there are different ways tospeak commands for completing thetasks. Most of them, exceptdestination entry and voice keypad,can be completed in a singlecommand.If the action takes more than onecommand to be performed, proceedas follows:

In the first command, you indicate thetype of action to be performed, e.g."Navigation destination entry". Thesystem replies with prompts that leadyou through a dialogue for enteringthe necessary information. Forexample, if a destination for routeguidance is needed, say "Navigation"or "Destination entry".NoteTo ensure that conversations insidethe vehicle do not lead tounintentional triggering of thesystem functions, the speechrecognition does not start until it hasbeen activated.

Important information

Language support■ Not all languages available for the

display of the Infotainment systemare also available for the speechrecognition.

■ If the currently selected displaylanguage is not supported by thespeech recognition, speechrecognition is not available.

Page 56: Infotainment manual - Astra-J, v.1 (rev ), en-GB

Speech recognition 55

In such a case you need to selectanother language for the display ifyou want to control the Infotainmentsystem via voice input. Changingthe display language, see"Language" in chapter "Systemsettings" 3 19.

Address input for destinations inforeign countriesIn case you want to enter the addressof a destination located in a foreigncountry via voice input, you need tochange the language of theInfotainment display to the languageof the foreign country.E.g. if the display is currently set toEnglish and you want to enter thename of a city located in France, youneed to change the display languageto French.Exceptions: If you want to enteraddresses in Belgium, you mayoptionally change the displaylanguage to French or Dutch. Foraddresses in Switzerland you mayoptionally change the displaylanguage to French, German, orItalian.

For changing the display language,see "Language" in chapter "Systemsettings" 3 19.

Input order for destination addressesThe order in which the parts of anaddress need to be entered using thespeech recognition system isdependent on the country where thedestination is located.■ Austria, Germany:

<city> <street> <house number>■ Belgium, France, Great Britain:

<house number> <street> <city>■ Italy, Netherlands, Portugal,

Russia, Spain, Switzerland:<street> <house number> <city>

UsageActivating speech recognitionNoteSpeech recognition is not availableduring an active phone call.

Press the w button on the right side ofthe steering wheel.

The audio system mutes, the wsymbol on the display is highlighted,and a voice output message promptsyou to say a command.As soon as the speech recognition isready for voice input, a beep is heard.You can now say a voice command todirectly initiate a system function(e.g. playing a radio station), or tostart a dialogue sequence withseveral dialogue steps (e.g. enteringa destination address), see"Operation via speech commands"further below.After a dialogue sequence is finished,the speech recognition is deactivatedautomatically. To initiate anotherdialogue sequence, you must activatethe speech recognition again.

Adjusting the volume of voicepromptsPress the w or ─ buttons on the rightside of the steering wheel.

Page 57: Infotainment manual - Astra-J, v.1 (rev ), en-GB

56 Speech recognition

Interrupting a voice promptAs an experienced user, you caninterrupt a voice prompt by brieflypressing the w button on the steeringwheel.A beep is heard immediately, and acommand can be stated withouthaving to wait.

Cancelling a dialogue sequenceThere are several possibilities tocancel a dialogue sequence and todeactivate the speech recognition:■ Say "Cancel" or "Exit".■ Press the n button on the right

side of the steering wheel.In the following situations a dialoguesequence is automatically cancelled:■ If you do not say any commands for

some time (by default you areprompted three times to say acommand).

■ If you say commands that are notrecognised by the system (bydefault you are prompted threetimes to say a correct command).

Operation via speechcommandsThe speech recognition canunderstand commands that are eithernaturally stated in sentence form, ordirect commands stating theapplication and the task.For best results:■ Listen for the voice prompt and wait

for the beep before saying acommand or replying.

■ Say "Help" if you want to listenagain to the help prompt for thecurrent dialogue step.

■ The voice prompt can beinterrupted by pressing the w buttonagain

■ Wait for the beep and then speakthe command naturally, not toofast, not too slow. Use short anddirect commands.

Usually phone and audio commandscan be spoken in a single command.For example, "Call David Smith atwork", "Play" followed by the artist or

song name, or "Tune to" followed bythe radio frequency and thewaveband.Navigation destinations, however,are too complex for a singlecommand. First, state "Navigation"and then, e.g. "Address" or "Point ofInterest". The system responds withrequesting more details.After saying "Point of Interest", onlymajor chains may be selected byname. Chains are businesses with atleast 20 locations. For other POIs,say the name of a category, e.g."Restaurants", "Shopping centres", or""Hospitals".Direct commands are easierunderstood by the system, e.g. "Call01234567".If you say "Phone", the systemunderstands that a phone call isrequested and responds withrespective questions until enoughdetails are gathered. If the phonenumber has been saved with a nameand a place, the direct commandshould include both, for example "CallDavid Smith at work"

Speech recognition 57

Selecting list itemsWhen a list is displayed, a voiceprompt asks to confirm or select anitem from that list. A list item may bemanually selected, or by speaking theline number of the item.The list on a speech recognitionscreen functions the same as a list onother screens. Manually scrolling thelist on a screen during a speechrecognition session suspends thecurrent speech recognition event andplays a prompt like "Make yourselection from the list using themanual controls, or press the backbutton on the faceplate to try again".If no manual selection is made within15 seconds, the speech recognitionsession terminates, you are promptedwith a message, and the formerscreen is redisplayed.

The "Back" commandTo return to the previous dialoguestep, alternatively: say "Back", orpress the BACK button on theinstrument panel.

The "Help" commandAfter saying "Help", the help promptfor the current dialogue step is readaloud.To interrupt the help prompt, pressthe w button again. A beep is heard.You may say a command.

Digital audio broadcasting(if available)

Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) isan innovative and universalbroadcast system.DAB stations are indicated by theprogramme name instead of thebroadcasting frequency.Navi 600 / Navi 900:

CD 400plus:

General information■ With DAB, several radio

programmes (services) can bebroadcast on a single frequency(ensemble).

■ Besides high-quality digital audioservices, DAB is also able totransmit programme-associateddata and a multitude of other dataservices including travel and trafficinformation.

Page 113: Infotainment manual - Astra-J, v.1 (rev ), en-GB

112 Radio

■ As long as a given DAB receivercan pick up the signal sent out by abroadcasting station (even if thesignal is very weak), soundreproduction is ensured.

■ There is no fading (weakening ofthe sound) that is typical of AM orFM reception. The DAB signal isreproduced at a constant volume.

■ Only CD 400plus: if the DAB signalis too weak to be picked up by thereceiver, reception is interruptedcompletely. This incident can beavoided by activating Autoensemble linking and/or Autolinking DAB-FM in the DAB settingsmenu.

■ Interference caused by stationsthat are on nearby frequencies (aphenomenon that is typical of AMand FM reception) does not occurin connection with DAB.

■ If the DAB signal is reflected bynatural obstacles or buildings, thereception quality of DAB is

improved, whereas AM or FMreception is considerably impairedin such cases.

■ When DAB reception is enabled,the FM tuner of the Infotainmentsystem remains active in thebackground and continuallysearches for the best receivable FMstations. If TP 3 107 is activated,traffic announcements of the FMstation which is currently bestreceivable are issued. DeactivateTP, if DAB reception should not beinterrupted by FM trafficannouncements.

General informationThe navigation system will reliablyguide you to your destination withoutthe need to read maps, even if youhave no local knowledge whatsoever.The current traffic situation is takeninto account in the route calculation ifdynamic route guidance is used. Forthis purpose the Infotainment systemreceives traffic announcements in thecurrent reception area via RDS-TMC.The navigation system cannot,however, take into account trafficincidents, traffic regulations changedat short notice and hazards orproblems that arise suddenly (e.g.road works).

Caution

The usage of the navigationsystem does not release the driverfrom the responsibility for acorrect, vigilant attitude in roadtraffic. The relevant trafficregulations must always be

followed. If a navigation instructioncontradicts traffic regulations, thetraffic regulations always apply.

Functioning of the navigationsystemThe position and movement of thevehicle are detected by the navigationsystem using sensors. The travelleddistance is determined by thevehicle’s speedometer signal, turningmovements on bends by a gyrosensor. The position is determined bythe GPS satellites (Global PositioningSystem).By comparing the sensor signals withthe digital maps on the map SD card,it is possible to determine the positionwith an accuracy of approx. 10 m.The system will also work with poorGPS reception, however, theaccuracy of the determination of theposition will be reduced.After the entry of the destinationaddress or point of interest (nearestpetrol station, hotel, etc.) the route iscalculated from the current location tothe destination selected.

The route guidance is provided byvoice output and an arrow, as well aswith the aid of a multi-colour mapdisplay.

TMC traffic information systemand dynamic route guidanceThe TMC traffic information systemreceives all current traffic informationfrom TMC radio stations. If dynamicroute guidance is active, thisinformation is included in thecalculation of the overall route. Duringthis process, the route is planned sothat traffic problems related to pre-selected criteria are avoided.If there is a traffic problem duringactive route guidance, depending onthe pre-settings, a message appearsas to whether the route should bechanged.TMC traffic information is displayed inthe route guidance display assymbols or as detailed text on theTMC messages menu.To be able to use TMC trafficinformation, the system has to receiveTMC stations in the relevant region.

Dynamic route guidance only works iftraffic information is received via theTMC traffic information system.The dynamic route guidance functioncan be deactivated in the Navigationoptions menu, see chapter"Guidance" 3 158.

Exporting and importing POIdata

Introductory explanationsTypes of POI dataThe Infotainment system provides thefollowing types of points of interestdata:■ Predefined Points of Interest stored

on the map SD card and indicatedby icons on the map display.You can store such predefinedPOIs in the address book or asindividual POIs in the myPOIsmemory of the Infotainmentsystem, see below.

■ Favourite destination addressesthat were stored in the Addressbook.You can export these address bookdata to a USB drive for later use,e.g., in other cars.

■ Individual POIs: favouritedestination addresses that werestored in the myPOIs memory.You can export these individualPOI data to a USB drive for lateruse, e.g., in other cars.

■ User defined POIs: favouritedestination addresses that youdefined via GPS coordinates(taken, e.g., from a topographicalmap) and that you entered into textfiles.You can store these user definedPOI data on a USB drive and laterimport the data to the myPOIsmemory of the Infotainmentsystem, see below.

■ Imported POIs: favouritedestination addresses that werepreviously stored on a USB driveand then imported to the myPOIsmemory of the Infotainmentsystem.

Advantages of POI export and importThe export and import of points ofinterest data offer you, e.g., thefollowing advantages:■ Define and store your favourite

destination addresses only once,and later use these address data inother cars.See "Exporting and importingindividual POIs and address bookentries" below.

■ Define your favourite destinationaddresses conveniently at home,and later use them in your car.See "Creating and importing userdefined POIs" below.

■ Clearly arrange a large amount ofdestination addresses, e.g.,favourite destination addresses ofother family members ordestination addresses for your nextjourney or business trip in separatesubmenus.See "Organizing the POI data inseveral subfolders" below.

General information ................... 174Navigation control ...................... 175Phone control ............................ 184

General informationThe speech recognition of theInfotainment system enables you tooperate various functions of thenavigation system (only Navi 900;inclusive audio system features) andthe phone portal via voice input. Itrecognises commands and numericsequences independently of therelevant speaker. The commandsand numeric sequences can bespoken without a voice pausebetween the individual words.You can save destination addresses,radio stations and telephone numbersassigning a name of your choice(voice tag). Using these names, youcan later set the destination addressfor an upcoming trip, select a radiostation or set up a telephoneconnection.In the event of incorrect operation orcommands the speech recognitiongives you visual and/or acousticfeedback and requests you to re-enter the desired command. Apart

from this, the speech recognitionacknowledges important commandsand will enquire if necessary.To ensure that conversations insidethe vehicle do not lead tounintentional triggering of systemfunctions, the speech recognitiondoes not start until it has beenactivated.

Important notes on languagesupport■ Not all languages available for the

display of the Infotainment systemare also available for the speechrecognition.

■ Not all languages available for thespeech recognition of the phoneportal are also available for thespeech recognition of thenavigation system (inclusive audiosystem features).

■ Speech recognition of the phoneportal: if the currently selectedlanguage for the display is notsupported by the speechrecognition, you need to enter thevoice commands in English.

■ Say "Cancel".In the following situations a dialoguesequence is automatically cancelled:■ If you do not say any commands for

some time (by default you areprompted three times to say acommand).

■ If you say commands that are notrecognized by the system (bydefault you are prompted threetimes to say a correct command).

Breaking up a running voiceoutput messageAs an experienced user you canbreak up a running voice outputmessage by (short) pressing thebutton w on the steering wheel.

Afterwards, the current dialoguesequence will be continuedautomatically.

Important notes on voice input■ If experiencing difficulty with the

system recognizing a command,confirm that the command iscorrect. Try saying the commandclearly or wait for a brief momentafter the beep.

■ Background noise such as aclimate control fan positioned onhigh, open windows, and very loudoutside noises, even if the windowsare closed, can cause voicecommands to be misunderstood

■ The speech recognition onlyrecognizes commands based onthe language currently selected forthe Infotainment display.

Visual and acoustic helpAfter activating speech recognition,you are guided through a dialoguesequence via help menus, voiceoutput messages and on-screenmessages.

Help menusDependent on the currently activemode of operation (radio, CD player,navigation etc.), a help menu with themost important available voicecommands is displayed.Example: Radio help menusIf the radio mode is currently active,the radio help menu (part 1) isdisplayed.

As soon as you hear a beep and thesymbol in the upper right corner of thehelp menu (see image above) haschanged its colour from red to grey,you can say one of the followingcommands:

Page 178: Infotainment manual - Astra-J, v.1 (rev ), en-GB

Speech recognition 177

■ One of the commands shown onthe help menu.

■ One of the additional commandsavailable for the radio mode, seeimage below.To display these additionalcommands say "More help". Theradio help menu (part 2) isdisplayed.

■ One of the main commands for thespeech recognition, see imagebelow.

Example: General help menu (maincommands)The general help menu primarilyshows the commands required tochange to another mode of operation,e.g., to change from the radio modeto the CD player mode.To display the general help menu, say"General help".

Important notes on commands■ Some command words displayed

on the help menus are optional.Example: when using thecommand "Frequency<87.5..108.0> MHz", you can leaveout "MHz".

You can simply try out if there areshortened variants available forcertain commands.

■ For each command shown on thehelp menus various synonymouscommand variants are available.Example: instead of saying "Showstation list" you could also say"Show stations" or "Displaystations".You can simply try out if there aresynonymous command variantsavailable that suit you more thanthe displayed default variants.

■ Slashes "/" separate severalcommands on a single help menuline. In some cases you need tocombine command words on bothsides of a slash.Example: "Start / Stop guidance". Insuch case, you need to say, e.g.,"Start guidance". "Start" on its ownwould not be a valid command.

■ Pointed brackets "< ... >" indicateplaceholder text.Example: when you want to use thecommand "Frequency

Page 179: Infotainment manual - Astra-J, v.1 (rev ), en-GB

178 Speech recognition

<87.5..108.0>", you need toexchange "<87.5..108.0>" for aspecific figure between 87.5 and108.0. You could say, e.g.,"Frequency 96 dot 3".

Help messagesYou can induce the system to readout all voice commands currentlyavailable.After saying the command:■ "Help": the system reads out the

most important commandsavailable for the currently activemode of operation.

■ "More help": the system reads outall additional commands availablefor the currently active mode ofoperation.

■ "General help": the system readsout all main commands, see"General help menu" above.

Lists with selectable itemsDuring dialogue sequences you areoften prompted to select an item (e.g.a preset radio station or a city name)from a list.

Example: Autostore lists

To select an item from such a list, youonly need to say the number in frontof the desired list item, e.g. "5".In most cases there are several"pages" of list entries available. Toswitch from one "page" to another,you need to say "Next" or "Previous".On each page the list items arenumbered from "1." to "6." (noconsecutive numbering).

On-screen messages and acousticprompts / feedbackDuring dialogue sequences you areoften prompted via on-screenmessages (see image below) andvoice output messages, which kind ofcommand you need to say next.Example: Storing a radio stationusing a name

If the radio mode is active and you saythe command "Add station name", theon-screen message shown above willbe displayed, and the voice outputmessage "Please say the stationname." be announced by the system.
