Wa r n i n g !
Your concentration on the road and traffic
conditions must take priority. Only use the
telephone
1 when road and traffic conditions
permit.
Park if you wish to use the handset rather than the
hands-free device to make a call.Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is covering

14 m ) e v e r y s e c o n d .
Never operate radio transmitters equipped with a
built-in or attached antenna (i.e. without being
connected to an external antenna) from inside the
vehicle while the engine is running. Doing so could
lead to a malfunction of the vehicle’s electronic
system, possibly resulting in an accident and
personal injury.

information such as vehicle identification number or
client information is not available, the operator may
need to retransmit. During this time you will hear a
chirp and voice contact will be interrupted. Voice
contact will resume once the retransmission is
c omplete. Once a cal l is concl uded , a ch irp w ill be hea rd ,
the appropriate indicator lamp will stop flashing and a

The indicator lamp in the respective button flashes until
the call is concluded and this can only be completed by
a Response Center or Client Assistance Center

When a Tele Aid call has been initiated, the audio
system is muted and the selected mode (radio, tape or
CD) pauses. The optional cellular phone (if installed)
switches off. If you must use this phone, the vehicle
must be parked. Disconnect the coiled cord and place
the call. A message will appear in the radio display to
indicate that a Tele Aid call is in progress.
