Safety precautions
General notes
Calls disconnected while the vehicle is
in motion
A call may be disconnected if:
there is insufficient network coverage
you move from one transmitter/receiv-
er area (cell) into another and no chan-
nels are free or the cell is fullOperating options
If the mobile phone is inserted in the cra-
dle, you can use the mobile phone func-
tions with the following devices:
COMAND / telephone keypad
Multifunction steering wheel
Voice Control*
Bluetooth headset
The descriptions in this section assume
that the mobile phone is inserted in the
cradle. Exceptions to this are clearly stat-
ed.
Warning!
G
Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from
using a cellular telephone while driving.
Whether or not prohibited by law, for safety
reasons, the driver should not use the cellu-
lar telephone while the vehicle is in motion.
Stop the vehicle in a safe location before
placing or answering a call.
If you nonetheless choose to use the cellular
phone while driving, please use the hands-
free feature and be sure to pay attention to
the traffic situation at all times. Use the cel-
lular phone only when road, weather and
traffic conditions permit.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approxima-
tely 14 m) every second.
Warning!
G
Never operate radio transmitters equipped
with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e. with-
out being connected to an external antenna)
from inside the vehicle while the engine is
running. Doing so could lead to a malfunc-
tion of the vehicle’s electronic system, pos-
sibly resulting in an accident and/or
personal injury.
