If your vehicle is equipped with a telephone keypad, you can also use this to enter characters.
For example, to enter the letter I: press the n number key briefly three times in suc-
X
cession.
As soon as you touch the number key, the number is highlighted in the additional display
area.
The character appears at the bottom of the display the first time the key is pressed and
shows all the available characters. It switches to the next character each time the key is
pressed.
Wait until the character display goes out.

If your vehicle is equipped with a touchpad,
you can also use this to enter characters

a handwriting recognition function.
An example is the address entry
( page 88).

With one finger, draw the desired charac-
X
ter, e.g. the letter B, on the touch-sensitive
surface.
In the list (e.g. City), the first entry that starts
with the letter entered is highlighted. You can
draw the next character on the touch-sensi-
tive surface.
If the character that you have entered can be
interpreted in different ways, these options
are displayed.
To select a character suggestion: turn the

display instead of the automatically recog-
nized character. Character entry can be

To delete a character: touch the touch-sen-
X
sitive surface with your finger and glide
your finger to the left.
The character last entered is deleted.
To finish the entry and switch back to the
X
list: press the touchpad.
