inserted in the cradle, the telephone
functions can be used as follows:
at the COMAND

with the Voice control system*
This instruction manual describes the
operation at the COMAND. Unless
otherwise indicated, the descriptions
and illustrations refer to the COMAND.
Operation at the mobile phone and
operation with the Voice control
system* are described in separate
operating guides. Refer to the vehicle
Operator's Manual for operation of the
telephone using the multifunction

iIn certain menus, the COMAND can
display date and time of the calls.
The COMAND can display phone
number and name of the other party
(e.g. if the COMAND detects an
incoming call, but also in other menus).
For the number to be displayed, the
number information must be
transmitted with the incoming call. The
same goes for the name display which
additionally requires that the caller’s
number and name are saved in the
