first before attempting to operate your

the telephone and Voice control sys-
tem* operating manuals.

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):

making a call.

not pointed in the direction of the
microphones located in the overhead
control panel near the rear view mirror.

areas. The phone will automatically try
to sign on to a network again.
