Vehicular Mode Operation
When you connect your phone to your Mercedes-Benz vehicle, the phone is ready to operate in Vehicular Mode.
In Vehicular Mode, your phone is connected to many integrated features of your vehicle and its audio system, offering
these advantages:
• You can use your phone in either Hands Free mode or in privacy mode.
• Your phone uses your vehicle’s speakers for better sound fidelity in Hands Free mode.
• Your vehicle charges your phone’s battery when the vehicle is running.
• When you place or receive a call, your vehicle’s radio, CD, and/or tape player volume is automatically muted so you
can hear the person on the other end.
Before you use your phone in Vehicular Mode, you should familiarize yourself with how this system operates.
Switching into Vehicular Mode
Switch your phone into Vehicular Mode by
docking
it.

A precise application of the SAE grades in accordance with ambient

air temperatures would require more frequent engine-oil changes.

The temperature limits for the SAE grades should therefore be

regarded as guidelines, which can be exceeded or undercut for a

short duration.
