72 Telephone*Important notes
Please read the chapter “Telephone” 
first before attempting to operate your 
telephone.
Please also read the important notes in 
the telephone operating manual.
Always drive with extreme caution 
when you operate the telephone 
hands-free.
For safety reasons, you should not use 
the mobile telephone handset to make 
a call while driving the vehicle.
If the signal strength is very weak (dis-
play in the symbol bar of all menus):
Wait until reception improves before 
making a call.
Close the windows and reduce all out-
side noise as much as possible when 
you use hands-free operation.
Also make sure that the air vents are 
not pointed in the direction of the 
microphones located in the overhead 
control panel near the rear view mirror. 
Adjust air vents and/or reduce blower 
speed if necessary. 
A brief disconnection from the cellular 
network is not a malfunction, as this 
can occur when the network switches 
areas. The phone will automatically try 
to sign on to a network again.
